My girlfriend booked the 21 seater mini bus for her 50th birthday celebration, a wine tour of…read moreMcLaren Vale. There were 14 of us plus the driver. The bus departed from my friends home address on schedule, and Sandy was our driver. She explained the itinerary before we headed off, with the first stop being Wirra Wirra Vineyards. Sandy kindly took our wine purchases, labelled them with our name and placed for safe keeping at the front of the bus. It was great not to have them where we were seated. Throughout the tour we were told the time we'd need to be back on the bus. One passenger accidentally left her phone at a winery, so Sandy kindly went back to collect whilst we were at another stop. That in itself was top service on an already great day.

I did the Groovy Grape "Desert Patrol" from Adelaide to Alice Springs tour years ago. Our guide…read morewas Steve who is a good guy who made the whole experience worth while. Highlights include the Flinders Ranges, William's Creek (pop 7), the opal capital, Coober Pedy and finally Ulura and The Olgas before finishing up in Alice Springs. Total trip was 6 nights. Food and accommodations are included in the price. You sleep mostly outside in swags (with the Dingos) plus one night in an underground hotel in Coober Pedy. Meals are prepared on site so be expected to help cook and clean up. Beer is optional. This is a very laid back tour geared toward backpackers and other budget travelers, so don't expect any luxuries here. There is also a lot of hiking, so being in physical shape is helpful. Steve was especially helpful in Alice Springs as my hostel was overbooked and he was able to get me in at a different location. He even took us all out for kangaroo after the tour was over. If you are spending any extended time in Australia, then this tour is a must.

The prices are reasonable and the knowledge and enthusiasm from the guides is second to none. The 7 day desert trip from Adelaide to Alice Springs is a memorable way to see the heart of Australia and spend many nights in a swag under the stars, but if it's wildlife you're after, the 3 day Kangaroo Island tour is a must.

Times were good on this walking tour (the dumpling variety), with some awesome street art and four…read moredifferent dumpling cuisines! Firstly, the logistics: Meeting at 2:30pm was a great time of day to start the tour, meant the weather was nice and sunny for the 2.5 hour duration, and our tour guide, Karen, was friendly, knowledgeable and fun. The walk was a bit strange at first as I knew the area of Gouger Street quite well and noticed we did a full circle to our original starting point before moving on again to the second dumpling point, however perhaps this is to accommodate the street art aspect of the tour. Secondly, the street art: Karen definitely knew her stuff! All these amazing works of art that I hadn't previously noticed, or knew much about, became so much more interesting with a little background knowledge. For example, there were some little themed tiles left above street signs on brick walls, I had never seen them before! Such an eye-opener of a tour in regards to the skills of these amazing artists. Thirdly, the dumplings: The first dumpling option completely shook up everything I thought I knew about dumplings (turns out it just means filling surrounded by some sort of pastry, what a fool I was). The Russian Piroshki was delicious, involving a savoury donut dough with a warm filling, such as potato and leek or spinach and feta. Moving on, the second option was Japanese Gyoza, a fried meaty dumpling that I have eaten many times and wasn't disappointed with! The third option was two large plates of Steamed and Fried Chinese pork and cabbage dumplings. This serving really filled us up, even with the walk to the next venue. Luckily Karen informed us that at the Vietnamese venue we could choose to try the steamed buns or a Viet iced coffee if we were too full. I was told that the steamed buns were great, but I was definitely happy with my sweet iced caffeine! All in all, a good time and recommended if you want to try something different!

You will not go hungry and the walking in between venues permits digestion. Accompanying the dumpling education was an education on street art. It was interesting but I'm not sure about the fit between the two. Also, at some street art venues, it was difficult to hear our tour leader. I love the concept of doing a tour in your hometown - a staycation- and it is good value for money. I'd recommend it to others, particularly if you are a fan of street art
