Melbourne to Adelaide Destination Reviews

Nigel T

David was an excellent driver, the trip was broken into manageable stops and there was enough time at each stop. The towns and cities we passed through were delightful and we saw lots of wildlife on the journey. Would we do it again? Yes. The cost was reasonable and the coach was comfortable. Thank you.
