What to expect
You'll be collected from your hotel and driven toward Mount Lofty, where you stop to survey Adelaide from above—useful for orienting yourself to the grid layout and surrounding geography. The tour then heads into the Adelaide Hills to Hahndorf, where you walk through the main street lined with heritage cottages, cafés, and craft shops. Your guide will discuss the town's founding by Lutheran refugees and its cultural identity. The pace is unhurried, allowing time to absorb details and ask questions. You return to the city by mid-afternoon.
Good to know
