Perfect Day Trip
Mike, our guide, was knowledgeable and interesting. The morning tour was a great way to see the highlights and sights of Adelaide. In the afternoon Mike took us to Hahndorf in the Adelaide Hills, just beautiful.
Response from the operator: Hello Tania, Thank you for taking the time to leave us this lovely review. Mike is a great source of knowledge, as are all our drivers and we will be sure to share your feedback with him. We are so happy to hear you had a great day on tour with Mike and we hope to see you again on our Adelaide Sightseeing tour soon! Pratima from Adelaide Sightseeing.

Response from the operator: Hello Christian, Thank you for taking the time to share your wonderful feedback. We're delighted to hear that you had such a fantastic experience exploring Hahndorf and the Barossa Valley with us. Hahndorf's unique German heritage and charm certainly make it a special destination and we're pleased you enjoyed experiencing the atmosphere the town is famous for. It's also great to know that the wineries and wines of the Barossa Valley were a highlight of your day. Thank you again for travelling with Adelaide Sightseeing. We appreciate your kind comments and hope to welcome you back on another tour soon. Kind Regards, Pratima from Adelaide Sightseeing.

The guys from Adelaide...
The guys from Adelaide Sightseeing were very good. The trips round the city and then out to Hahndorf were well worth it. The only complaint we have is that the Viatour agent told us that hotel pickup was not available for this tour. However, the driver said that, if we had booked directly with them, then hotel pickup was available. We had to take a taxi from our hotel to the Bus Terminal which cost us $15. They dropped us back at our hotel after the tour.

Good tour of the city, everything important covered. Hahndorf is worth experiencing—an appropriate time frame for both.
Response from the operator: Hello Robert, thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the city tour and found that all the key sights were covered. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and hope to welcome you on another tour in the future! Kind regards, Kathryn from Adelaide Sightseeing

We thought it was one...
We thought it was one tour but it is actually two separate tours. The city driving tour starts and ends at the bus station. Then the driver goes and does hotel pickup for the Hahndorf tour. There is about 45 minutes between tours to get some lunch at the Central Market or Chinatown nearby. Our driver was Dave and he did a great job providing commentary while driving the bus through narrow city streets and winding mountain roads.

Ultimate Adelaide City and Hahndorf Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Adelaide.
How much does Ultimate Adelaide City and Hahndorf Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $124 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Adelaide usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Ultimate Adelaide City and Hahndorf Tour take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Adelaide is not rushed.
Is Ultimate Adelaide City and Hahndorf Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 48 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Adelaide, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ultimate Adelaide City and Hahndorf Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Ultimate Adelaide City and Hahndorf Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ultimate Adelaide City and Hahndorf Tour?
+
Around 17 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Adelaide can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Adelaide and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ultimate Adelaide City and Hahndorf Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Adelaide within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Adelaide?
+
On Outty we rank every Adelaide experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Adelaide Highlights, Hahndorf & McLaren Vale Wine Tasting and Sightseeing Tour, Premium Barossa Small Group Tour: Wine tasting, Lunch & Chocolate, Barossa Valley Hop-On Hop-Off Wine Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Adelaide?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Adelaide?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Ultimate Adelaide City and Hahndorf Tour?
+
Included: Afternoon tea or beer tastings at the iconic Hahndorf Inn Hotel; St Peter's Cathedral and Adelaide Oval; Surcharges on fuel; Adelaide City Highlights; and Free time for lunch at a local cafe or Central Markets (own expense). Not included: Lunch is not included. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Ultimate Adelaide City and Hahndorf Tour?
+
Please arrive at 9.00am to meet your driver by the entrance to the bus bays inside the Adelaide Central Bus Station, 83-85 Franklin Street, Adelaide Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Ultimate Adelaide City and Hahndorf Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Ultimate Adelaide City and Hahndorf Tour?
+

Is Ultimate Adelaide City and Hahndorf Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
