Bridgewater Mill - Visit Bridgewater Mill and Waterwheel. Nestled in the picturesque town of Bridgewater amidst the scenic Adelaide Hills, this historic mill was constructed in 1860 by John Dunn, a mill engineer from Devonshire. He established several flour mills across Australia, but the Bridgewater Mill remains his most renowned. (Please note the waterwheel is not operational and serves as a static display.)
Located on Mount Barker Road, the mill features an impressive waterwheel built in the mid-1800s. Dunn selected this site for its strategic location to capture passing traffic. In 1986, a consortium purchased the mill, renovated it, and incorporated an award-winning winery: Petaluma wines. Today, it serves as a popular restaurant and wine cellar, attracting visitors seeking cultural experiences in the Adelaide area. - Captain Proud Paddle Boat Cruises - Embark on a 3-hour, 2-course lunch cruise. Journey upriver to witness the stunning cliffs or relax in the lower reaches of the Murray River around Murray Bridge. Either way, enjoy the best of the Murray River at your leisure.
- Hahndorf - Spend some free time in Hahndorf after your river cruise. Hahndorf is recognized as Australia’s oldest surviving German settlement, and each year, thousands of visitors, both young and old, delight in its charm and hospitality.

Absolutely Fanbloodytastic - I thought I'd be lost for words writing this review about Roy our guide but, funnily enough, I'm not.
An absolutely fantastic tour guide — informative, engaging and genuinely impressive. His bad jokes somehow made the tour even better, keeping everyone laughing the whole time. A perfect mix of knowledge, humour and personality that made the experience unforgettable.
I highly recommend asking for Roy if you book with this Company, ypu will.not be disappointed!
Thanks Roy for a beaut day
Cheers
Jodie

Happy in Hahndorf.... - Roy was a very knowlegeable and helpful guide, he was also an absolute hoot - with endless Dad jokes!!! Mount Lofty was very impressive with stunning views; the River Cruise was lovely and very relaxing with delicious fish & chips... but for me, Hahndorf was the highlight and I could've stayed all afternoon.

Phil and paddle boat - Phil was a great tour guide. He put up with us all with a lot of humour back and forth. Felt like we had always known him.
The boat cruise was awesome. Food was great. Would thoroughly recommend it for a quiet day out.

Adelaide Hills tour & Murray River Cruise - Good tour guide/bus driver with enough information to help us make decisions. E.g. 1 hour at Hahndorf, she suggested where to shop.
Murray River Cruise was very pleasant, but the commentary was completely ignored by the rest of the guests, as they talked so loudly, we could not hear. We could hear outside, but the day was chilly, so not an ideal place.

Ups and Downs - Graham was an amazing tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the areas we travelled through and his light hearted humour made for a lovely day. Unfortunately the lunch was a let down on the river cruise. I had the fish and chips and ended up with a plate full of burnt, oily batter with little bits of dry fish here and there, others at our table felt equally let down give what we paid.

Disappointing - Guide was way too chatty and quite annoying. Cruise was relaxing but lunch was not very good. I would never book with this company again.
