We booked the Barossa Wine and Handhorf Village tour. It was a great trip and a great value for what we saw, are and drank! Thank you to our driver, Robin. read more

As the name suggests, Student Travel Australia (STA) places much of its focus on - you guessed it -…read morestudent travel. If you're a student and you're making plans to head overseas, or even travelling domestically, these guys will do their best to find you the cheapest flights available in a short amount of time. After all, travelling as a student means travelling on the cheap! These days it's pretty easy to cut out the middle man when booking flights, especially with the ease of buying tickets online through budget airlines, and not to mention sites like Webjet or Last Minute that essentially find the cheapest available flights for you. Nonetheless, having a professional does come in handy when you're trying to make last minute plans to travel and you've found yourself up shit creek without a paddle. Some years ago I went to STA to book a flight to Singapore after dismal attempts at finding cheap tickets online. As they're able to see the availability of flights directly from the carriers through their system, they quickly made arrangements for me and secured me a ticket that happened to be much lower than the ones I'd seen online. The student discount I got also relieved some of the stress from my wallet, and they gave me good deals on travel insurance too. And they did it all with a smile.
You don't have to be a student to book through STA…read more They also do special deals if you happen to be a teacher/ tutor, as well as being a regular travel agent. In fact, I choose STA every time over some of the travel agents out there. Not only are they super low-key (too many glossy pamphlets and corporate colour schemes just aren't me), but they focus on more DIY, lower cost and adventure-type holidays, which is definitely my bag. The staff here are super lovely and friendly too and always make you feel welcome, talking about their own experiences and giving you honest advice without being fake or SELL SELL SELL. I found their service to be top notch and genuine, even when I had some problems getting stuck in London (thanks Qantas!). I don't normally use travel agents and this is the kind of place that respects that you want to do your own thing. They gave me a great deal on insurance as well as super competitive flights (though as always I recommend you do your research before hand to make sure you're getting the best price out there, but you guise are smart enough to know that). In all, will definitely use again for OS trips - it's great to have that safety net out there and have someone else do the work for you sometimes, so you can just focus on having a rad time. Highly recommended!!!

I traveled all over Australia by myself for 6 weeks and had a lot of time for shopping, mostly for opals. I returned to Adelaide to buy all my opals from the best shop I'd discovered with the most honest friendly staff, who spent a significant amount of time educating me about the different types, sources, and grades of opals. These are now my favorite gemstones. In fact, one of the rings I purchased was off the finger of the salesperson! It took me several days to convince them to sell it to me. It is a small boulder opal set with a diamond in 18k gold and is truly the most beautiful, colorful opal I've ever seen! I highly recommend this store for the massive selection of opals and friendly, patient staff. It was a highlight of my trip! It sounds like they've made some additions for tourists since I've been there.

South Australia has so many fascinating places to tour through and many of these drive yourself tours are reachable over a weekend. There are not as many camping sites available in SA as there are on the East coast of Australia, but there are enough. You will want to have up to date maps, to begin with, and this is one place to get the correct ones. You may want to book a motel or get some caravan park details, again - the RAA is one of the primary places for this sort of information. Possibly you want to know where there are RAA approved mechanics along your route, again, this is the shop for that stop. Other travel agency services are available here, but it's the local knowledge feature and the anecdotes some of the staff will share with you that really count. Just for the record the RAA stands for the Royal Automobile Association, and it is a South Australian phenomenon due to our original status here as a "settlers colony" rather than a "penal colony"; the other way of looking at it is we are the royalist snobs... but that's a joke. There is an intra state agreement with the road associations elsewhere in the country that your membership there is covered here by the RAA and vice-versa. That means you are automatically covered when you cross the boarder for roadside assistance etc.

The people in the Adelaide Hills were exceptional to us. We felt welcomed and the hospitality was…read moreoutstanding. I am letting you know about one blemish on your otherwise exquisite area. Longview Letdown We love Australia and Australians so please do not let this one blemish color your view of the country! It is extraordinary. My husband and I traveled on our second trip to Australia visiting the Western and Southern portions of the country. In all cases except at Longview Vineyards, we experienced warmth and hospitality. As Canadians we definitely feel a closeness with our friends down under...Longview Vineyards is the exception... On February 28, 2026, we received confirmation from Longview Vineyards/Booking.com of our reservation for a two-night stay commencing March 15. We had made the reservation from Canada and left an email address and mobile telephone number as contact. We received several messages from Longview Vineyards on the email address confirming our reservation. The international number and email address which Longview and Booking.com were given had worked flawlessly for all accommodations and restaurants across Australia and previously from Canada. It had also worked flawlessly for Longview Vineyards to book the reservation and to communicate with them on an ongoing basis, except for March 15. Fascinating! On March 15, 2026, we were flying into Adelaide from Perth. We advised Longview Vineyards that we may be late. After two bounce backs, I got a "green" confirmation. The transaction payment for our stay had already been processed on March 11, 2026 and we received a confirmation on the email address provided. We arrived at Longview Vineyards at ~ 1900 h on March 15, I could not find any paper copy of check in details. I walked around the accommodations and checked all doors. It was locked up tight. I went to the wine sheds at the back and they were also locked up. I phoned three times using the international mobile phone which Longview Vineyards had on file and each time I left a message at the cellar door voice mail where the call was routed. I did not receive any emails from Longview Vineyards or telephone calls. We were extremely disappointed. We drove back to Adelaide staying at the Pullman (a delightful hotel) for the night. The next morning at 0925h at the Pullman I received a message from Longview Vineyards. We were advised via this email that the Longview team could not reach us on the email or international telephone number. We found this to be unbelievable as the message had come into the same email, they stated they could not reach us on, and that we had used to make the reservation and were continuing to use across Australia and the Barossa. We drove out the next morning and spoke to a young woman who did not identify herself. She stuck with the story I am assuming she had emailed to us stating that there was no responsibility or accountability for the situation from the Longview Vineyards team. She offered us a room for Tuesday night as compensation, but I advised her that we already had reservations further up the Barossa for Tuesday night. I was frustrated by the lack of responsibility that Longview Vineyards took for the situation and requested a full refund. The young woman assured me that it would take up to a week as they would have to contact Booking.com. On March 20, 2026 I was advised by Longview Vineyard, I am assuming by the same young woman that and I quote "While we acknowledge that the situation is unfortunate, it did not occur due to any fault on our part. To dispute your stay or request a refund, we encourage you as advised on Monday to contact booking.com as we are unable to process this on our end." The last part of this statement is false as the young woman did not advise me to contact booking.com AND that Longview Vineyards would not look after it. On March 22, 2026 I received a message, again using the same email as always, from Kate Walters, CEO of Longview Vineyards and I quote "the check in times were provided in advance of arrival and it is important that these are taken into account then planning when planning your stay. We do feel there is shared responsibility in how this situation unfolded. That said and in good faith and as gesture of goodwill we are prepared to offer you a 50% refund of the $488.23 you paid, less a commission." I was requested to provide the SAME credit card which had I had been told by the previous Longview Vineyards staff could not be accessed to process the partial refund. I declined. I have contacted Booking.com TWICE and received no response except to provide feedback to their customer complaint team on dealing with customer issues. My husband and I continued our month-long holiday to Australia using the same international phone and email to make reservations at accommodations and restaurants. Both methods of communication worked flawlessly, the outlier was Longview Vineyards.

We also dropped a mention that we were thinking of going to Kangaroo Island, only to find out that the helpful lady talking us through wine country grew up on the island, so in came even more recommendations! We also picked up a great flat-pack esky bag (I'm sure there's a better word for this thing) from the info centre, and my only wish is that we'd gone there first, because then we could have used some of the discount vouchers it came with (we'd already gone to some of the local stores that had discounts! IT WAS TOO LATE FOR US!). Also, SA tourism has these adorable little touring routes on tear-off A4 paper... I took them all, even though we weren't going to make it to nearly even half of the suggested routes, just because they were so darn cute and I wanted to imagine going to everywhere listed. Maybe I will one day. But until then, ONWARD THROUGH HILLS AND VALLEYS AND ISLANDS! Thanks for your guidance, folks!

We were shown around the city and given lots of fascinating background information. We saw and heard about Adelaide history and passed by several places of interest. We stopped in to see the newly renovated Adelaide Oval then made our way up into the Adelaide Hills. The peak of Mt Lofty has a glorious view and we enjoyed that with a short stop. We then went on to Hahndorf. We had free time here to explore the main street, where there are shops, cafes and other things of German culture to investigate. Our schedule was managed very carefully and we left Hahndorf in good time to get back to the city as planned. Overall, this tour and our guide was excellent. I would recommend this tour and would definitely choose them for another tour in the future. Well done.

We were trying to keep costs as low as possible for everyone involved and for 9 people we paid $45 per head for a 6hour tour. This included picking us up at one location, and a double drop off at the end of the day. When I was explaining that we wanted to do a wineries tour they suggested we go the Mclaren Vale region as a lot of the wineries there don't have a cover charge for groups. They organised the itinerary and did all the bookings with the wineries involved. All we had to do was show up and pay the money. We did stumble into one hiccup when we arrived at Edkhidna Wines, we were told we had to pay $5 per person and there was a wait, even though we had a booking. Michael, our wonderful driver suggested that we head to the pub for lunch and that's just what we did. He even went out of his way to go down the road and hamburgers for those who wanted them. Overall we had a fantastic day and I got to know about a lot of wineries in my local area that I didn't know existed. If you are thinking about organising a tour, I can't recommend them enough. They even called me a week after to profusely apologise for the mix up with Ekhidna, without pushing on the blame either. They really do have a fantastic rapport with the wineries.

It is such a shame and disgrace that in today's world where people of different races and backgrounds have the capacity to and are traveling around the World that staff are still allowed and covered by their colleagues and organizations to be racist and discriminative to their PAYING customers. This is definitely a bad reflection on Flight Centre as a business. When I tried to explain to her that my ticket says that breakfast will be served and hence I would like to make the request for a GF meal, she was absolutely rude saying she did not like the way I spoke to her. I agree my accent was not similar to hers, however that does qualify her to be discriminative. I am a paying customer and there is a professional decorum that a business has to adopt for ALL their paying customers. That was definitely not the case and she just put me on hold and transferred me to her colleague.

Initially I thought wine and hiking in Adelaide go together about as well as running the City to Bay with beer stops along the way instead of Gatorade. But I am a convert. Not only that I am now a raving fan. Tom from Head in the Clouds wines has taken this concept from his passion for hiking and wine and smooshed it together like a good grape crush. You start at "base camp" over the first wine tasting for the morning and proceed to not only hike a summit but stop and drink different SA wines and varietals from some of Tom's favourites along the way. Everyone is encouraged to bring some snacks for sharing along the way and the whole 3 hours turns into one big progressive wine tasting. This is such a refreshingly unique concept which showcases wine, SA's landscapes and naturally creates a bond between you and those walking with you. Our tour did go overtime by an hour or so, so it was a long day and you will want to allow time to take it all in. You will also want to have a fairly good level of fitness to enjoy something like this as the hikes (although short) were steep, but it did leave us with a spectacular view over Adelaide that you wouldn't otherwise get. This was the first of (hopefully) many tours, all I have to do now is try and convince Tom to host more over Summer and Autumn. Feel free to join in my petitioning!
