Our story

Discover Adelaide Tours was founded by Liz Green, a passionate South Australian with a love for showcasing the people, landscapes, wildlife and experiences that make the state special.

What began as a single-vehicle tour operation has grown into a dedicated team of professional local driver-guides, all sharing the same commitment to delivering high-quality and memorable experiences.

Today, we remain a proudly local, family-run business offering a more personal and considered alternative to large-group touring.

As the business has evolved, our focus has become increasingly centred on premium private touring from Adelaide, complemented by our very small-group Kangaroo Island experiences.

Whether you are travelling as a couple, with family or friends, or joining one of our Kangaroo Island departures, our aim is simple: to help you experience South Australia in a relaxed, personal and meaningful way.

Our approach

We believe great touring is about more than simply visiting a list of locations. It is about how you experience them.

Our tours are designed to feel relaxed, engaging and genuinely enjoyable. We prioritise quality over quantity, allowing time to connect with each destination, meet local producers and businesses, discover the stories behind the places you visit and enjoy the landscape without constantly watching the clock.

On our private Adelaide tours, the vehicle and guide are exclusively for your group, creating greater flexibility and a much more personal experience.

Our Kangaroo Island tours retain the same philosophy while travelling in very small groups of no more than eight guests.

Across all of our tours, we want guests to feel looked after from the moment we collect them until we return them at the end of their journey.

Our experiences are ideal for:

Couples and friends who prefer a private touring experience
Families wanting a relaxed and flexible day together
