Some friends and I are visiting Adelaide and wanted to see some of the beautiful vineyards without the hassle of finding cars etc. Trail Hopper was such a fabulous option, and our visit was perfectly coordinated in every way. Our guide Theresa clearly has some superior local knowledge, always providing excellent communication and tips for navigation within each winery. Would definitely try one of the other Trail Hopper tour options next time I’m in Adelaide

This is one of the best tour experiences I have had. Nathan was our guide he was friendly knowledgeable and had great energy. The length of the stops were great and gave us enough time really experience each winery over the course of the day. I highly recommend this tour to SA locals and interstate guests either as a group or solo. It’s affordable and gives you an opportunity to meet other people. Thanks Nath from Jemma & Dylan

This is an incredibly well-organised tour. The bus arrived promptly, and Monique explained clearly how the day was organised so that we knew what was to happen and when it should happen. She always turned up when and where we expected her - thanks Monique. We visited three wineries and had very good tasting experiences and a most enjoyable day.

The knowledgeable and enthusiastic staff make most of the trip. They were also willing to accomodate when it came to stops and were even happy to drop us closer to home on the way back to the city. I would recommend this service to everybody. In future I would book through the company personally instead of through Viator. There’s an amazing selection of wineries that we will be back to finish them all with you.

Beautiful weather, visited 4 x locations ( only one bad choice. Advise you do homework on respective locations). Enjoyed tastings and a few samples. The views were fantastic at all but one. Teresa the bus driver was great and informative, interreacting with all on the bus. Great experience.

Great service from the team at Trail Hopper. So many changes were required to our original 2020 booking due to covid border restrictions but the team were super helpful in re-booking and we finally made the tour on 15 Apr. Had a fabulous time

Monique was so much fun! So glad we booked this last minute and had a fantastic day we won't forget anytime soon. It can be as action packed or as relaxed as you want. Great wineries on the tour, as well as the big Rubix cube attraction. Excellent food and wine all day. Really fun and exclusive insight by Monique as well. No regrets!
