Trip from Adelaide to Victor Harbour passing many towns of significant prominence
Wonderful journey despite heavy rain for most of the time. The tour guide was magic and full of information .... so essential to a successful trip. Great to see Granite Island and horse-drawn tram at Victor Harbour. Also, some old towns preserved visited on the way!! Loved it!!

Great tour to victor Harbor. Stopped in at Strathalbyn for morning tea some great bakeries there. Victor harbor was excellent plenty of things to do or just walk around and take your time. Phil was a great host. Was able to take us to a few places that weren't on the itinerary. Will highly recommend.
