Best city tour. - Very informative and interesting city tour with tour guide Chris who really knows the city well. Even though the Down Under Cycle Race meant some of the city roads were closed Chris was able to navigate his way around and we were given a very good insight into the history and life of Adelaide.
Would highly recommend this site seeing tour.

Adelaide City Highlights Tour - Phil was our guide on this tour. While I enjoyed the majority of the highlights of Adelaide City shown to us I would have preferred not to have gone to the Wine place. Not everyone goes to visit Adelaide to 'çheck out'' the wine. I would have preferred to have seen other areas of Adelaide.

. - Good tour to get bearings in city, but not big on info/history. Sometimes not sure if sight of interest was left, right or in front of us.

Disappointed - We did not do any of the stated places except for the wine museum,
We did not do the oval and could not do the Peter’s cathedral as there was a funeral at the time, which should have been checked by the operator before the tour. The tour was disappointing.

Average, could have been much better. - This tour was part of a package deal involving Indian Pacific journey and Murray Princess cruise. We were picked up from our hotel and taken to the Central Bus Terminal. Unfortunately the toilets were all locked and caused a bit of concern for some.
The tour was good, but could have been so much better. We spent a lot of time at the Wine Centre and the Cathedral as free time. We passed a lot of city highlights and Peter (driver) gave an informative commentary.
On the way back we were running late and dropped the passengers doing the Popeye river cruise a little late. Peter radioed the company to advise them that 6 passengers were on their way. As we were running late, we were not dropped off at our motel. Peter gave instructions on how to get back to our motels utilising the city’s tram service. An elderly couple staying at our motel was very confused and needed our assistance. We gave them directions on how to return back to hotel (400m) as we were heading to Glenelg by the same tram.
It was a good introduction to the city of Adelaide.
The time management by the driver needs addressing. Peter seems to be experienced and should have known the timing for each point. No passengers were late back to the bus therefore that couldn’t be an excuse.
