Reviews

 "Thanks Neil! We asked and you delivered.

Neil is a flexible guide. We asked for something a little different and he did his upmost to plan and deliver it. Neil is not your standard "coach" guide. If you want to walk, he sets up a walking trip. If you want to see some of Adelaide's interesting spots plus a visit to a winery, he will try to deliver. He helped us devise the type of day we enjoy, and gave us plenty of local information, as well as including some of the less well known and intriguing highlights that "coach" trips don't visit (he even found us a Koala out in the wild)."

 "I initially booked only a short walking tour with Neil for my parents after their arrival into Adelaide, before I fly into Adelaide that evening to meet them. My parents’ flight into Adelaide was delayed and the airport transfer had another booking after ours and had to cancel our booking. I informed Neil of the situation and he immediately offered to pick up my parents from the airport for a small cost, and gave the impression that it was no trouble at all. I really appreciate this considering my parents were flying in from overseas and really needed someone to be there for them.

Neil even helped my parents with checking in to our Air BnB!

The walking tour went really well as well.

Neil was also very prompt with replying to my last-minute enquiries and requests!!

I truly appreciate everything he has done for my parents and definitely recommend Neil to everyone for any tours in Adelaide! "

 "Adelaide is a beautiful city and I find making decisions on where to go and what to do can be overwhelming and unless your a local it’s hard to choose what will be the best. Neil was the perfect guide who made us laugh and have a fabulous day and chose for us a fantastic experience. "

 "Neil is the best tour guide I have ever met. He has got loads of knowledge, both historical and geographical, about the Adelaide City and many other local places. Most importantly his way of explaining is very interesting and clear. I always recommend my visitor friends and family to book him as a tour guide to enjoy their exploration of South Australia."
