Just do it. - Absolutely need to do this. Craig was the best driver/ guide. Took up past interesting points of interest, and free things to do around Adelaide. Hahndorf was worth the visit again. The two wineries were professional and not overpriced. Great cheese platter. Views of Adelaide, wine fields and stop at Glenelg were a good end of the day.

Fantastic day out with plenty to enjoy - This was an excellent day trip with lots to see and enjoy in the company of a first class guide. We went to places to see the city from different perspectives, had a good stop at Hahndorf, and two different wine tasting opportunities each with too many glasses! Overall it was a great day giving us a lovely perspective on the city and hills surrounding it.
