First time to the Barossa Valley and we were not disappointed with Dave at Australian Elements Tours. Two amazing wineries Kies and then Pindaarie where we sampled beautiful wines... read more and had a delicious lunch on the verandah with our tour group. We also had tastings at a Gin distillery and a boutique brewery to round out the day. We drove through the amazing countryside and Dave was most informative, accomodating and friendly. I would highly recommend this tour if you are looking for a relaxing and friendly tour

  A fabulous way to spend my birthday! - I had wanted to visit the Barossa Valley for many years so, as our cruise ship happened to be docked for a full day in Adelaide on my birthday, this... read more tour seemed to offer the perfect way to spend my special day. I am very pleased to say that, thanks to Dave and the fabulous locations he included in his tour, our trip to the Barossa Valley did not disappoint and my husband and I had a wonderful time.
While I am the wine drinker, my husband prefers beer, and neither one of us drinks gin. That said, we both took the opportunity to sample everything on offer. There were more than enough wines on each tasting for me to feel that I'd tried some of the best of the Barossa Valley, we enjoyed taking part in something new to us both; gin tasting, and we finished the day with a great selection of beers poured for us by the very entertaining host/owner of Greenock Brewers. It was the perfect balance for both of us. The lunch was excellent too and, as vegetarians, we were well catered for.
Dave was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of interesting information about the area, but he didn't talk for the sake of it. Also, everything seemed to run like clockwork and yet we never felt rushed. That's the sign of a true professional!
Needless to say, I would highly recommend this tour and would like to thank Dave for helping to make this one of my best birthdays ever.

  The best part of our Adelaide holiday was this tour. Cannot express how well done it was, starting from an extensive wine tasting at Kies Family Wines, followed by a... read more very educational wine tasting at Pindarie including a delicious lunch which lead to a marriage proposal by my beautiful partner outside the Pindarie winery overlooking one of the
most breathtaking sights of the Barossa Valley. We enjoyed a great Gin tasting at Seppeltsfield Rd Gin Distillery and to finish the day off we stopped at Greenock Brewery for some thirst quenching beer tastings where we met some extremely lovely (and very funny hosts). Our tour guide was exceptional and not without a great sense of humour and an extensive knowledge on the history of the sites and surrounds of Adelaide. Thank you so much to Dave at Australian Elements Tours and Charters along with the team at Pindarie who helped make this day one to remember

  Host Dave was friendly, funny and very knowledgeable about the history and info about Adelaide and the Barossa Valley. We had an amazing day. Would highly recommend this tour.

  My partner and I took a Port Adelaide Heritage tour offered through a cruise line and really enjoyed it. The tour started at the Torrens Island Quarantine station which, at... read more this point, can only be visited with a tour. The station was a fascinating look into history that I cannot believe more people have the opportunity to see and learn from. Our tour also visited the City of Adelaide clipper ship, another fascinating window into history. From there we had a delicious lunch and went to the Port Adelaide Maritime Museum and lastly we had some free time in Semaphore to absorb some of the local history and shops.

I would highly recommend this tour to anyone that is interested in history and learning about how the Port of Adelaide came to be, especially as it gave you the wonderful opportunity to see the old Quarantine station! Additionally, David was a wonderful guide with so much knowledge. Growing up in the area, his local perspective added greatly to the tour. Thank you David for such a great day!

  Had a great time on this tour. We went to some beautiful places and David was an absolutely legend. Would definitely recommend!

  Great day out, everything very well organised and accounted for, we thoroughly enjoyed it, thank you!!!

  This was a great versatile tour. The guide Dave was friendly and happy to accommodate our group. Would highly recommend.

  This tour is incredible - Such amazing value for your money. Food, wines and the location was just beautiful.

Our experience was spoiled by our bus drivers bad... read more attitude. When asked simple questions we were met with snarky remarks that made me and my friends feel very uncomfortable. We asked what time we should meet back in the bus and were told “are you kidding me!?” this and just constant angry/rude remarks.

We were seated at the back of the bus and could not hear the driver very well as the speakers were at the very front, so we were chatting amongst ourselves for the duration of the one hour drive.

At seppeltsfield's gin distillery we were met by someone with the same bad attitude. When asked which one of the mixers was lemonade she said “can’t you read?”, there was not even a bottle on our table. Just so unnecessarily rude, even people who were not in our group looked put off by that response.

Special mention to Kies family wines, Pindarie and Rehn Bier for simply knocking it out of the park with incredible wines, food and service. It’s worth going on the tour just for them and they are what made this still a fun & beautiful day.

To the bus driver please deliver your messages with more kindness. You made us uncomfortable and we were celebrating a birthday.

Definitely dissapointed as I have toured South Australian wine regions so many times and never have been disrespected like this. If we were treated with more courtesy this would be a five star review and we would've returned.

Keep in mind 160AUD a head, there was 7 of us - we paid 1120AUD dollars to be there... I feel that for that much money the least we can get is respect.
