Do I get to choose between afternoon tea and beer tasting on the day?

Yes — the choice between afternoon tea and a trio sampler of German beers in Hahndorf is made during the tour, so you don't need to decide when booking.

What's the difference between the two ticket options?

The standard tour includes hotel pickup at 12:35–13:00 and covers the full coach itinerary. The cruise option adds a Torrens River cruise at 12:00 aboard the Popeye — you make your own way to Elder Park for that, then join the coach at 13:20. Both options end at 17:15.

Where exactly is the drop-off for the cruise option?

If you've booked the cruise option, the tour ends at 85 Franklin Street, Adelaide at 17:15. The standard tour drops you back at your hotel.

Is this tour suitable for children?

The itinerary is coach-based with short stops, which suits most ages. Children who don't drink alcohol can enjoy the afternoon tea option in Hahndorf instead.

Can I cancel if my plans change?

Please check the cancellation terms shown at checkout — these vary by booking date and are confirmed at the time of purchase.

Do I need to print my ticket?

A mobile ticket is accepted — simply have your booking confirmation ready on your phone for the driver or operator to check.
