Adelaide Highlights

OVERVIEW

Settle back for a panoramic sightseeing drive through the streets of Adelaide, then view the city from the summit of Mount Lofty. With its unique blend of progressive urban vitality and easygoing Australian charm, this well-planned city of parks and landmarks has much to be seen. Your relaxed coach journey departs from the pier and circles the city, as your narrator fills you in on the sights you’re seeing – and the stories behind them. After a time, you’ll head out of the metropolitan center, across natural bushland and up to the top of the highest peak for miles around. The Mt Lofty lookout terrace offers panoramic views that can be absolutely out of this world on a clear day – stretching all the way from the Piccadilly Valley back across Adelaide and out to the coastal beaches. Once you’ve filled your digicam to capacity with snapshots, your comfortable coach will wind its way down from Lofty and return to the city, where you’ll see and learn about still more sights like the Holy Trinity Church, The Old Parliament Building, and Government House. And all this without exerting yourself the slightest bit.
