Meet Roger

I was born in the Adelaide Hills and grew up on an apple orchard in the area. I have a deep understanding of the lifestyle and culture of the Hills, and I am happy to share my knowledge with our guests. I have also worked in the area, so I am familiar with some of the hidden secrets of the Adelaide Hills.

As an avid golfer, I have caddied for both amateur and professional golfers. I highly recommend taking a turn on the fairways of the Mt Barker and Hahndorf Golf Club during your time in Adelaide.

Some of my passions include skiing and snowboarding. I have even worked as a ski instructor in Canada. My ultimate goal is to experience the thrill of riding a bobsled down a track. I have skied with some of the best in the world, including members of the Australian and Canadian Olympic teams.

Despite my love of travelling, Australia will always be my home, and I think Adelaide is a wonderful place to live.

  If you are going to Adelaide I would recommend Ambler Touring for airport transfers and private tours as they are fantastic. Roger and his wife Di are very well versed in the history of Adelaide being very knowledgeable about the surrounding areas and suggested the most interesting places to visit. Their friendly and polite approach made us feel very welcome. My husband and I spent five excellent days in their company from airport transfers to four private tours. Nothing was too much trouble for them to make our time in Adelaide easy, relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable. Their suggestions of places to visit were great and their idea to the use the Adelaide Airport Hotel was a great idea. Thank you Roger and Di for your excellent service that made our time in Adelaide very memorable.

  Booked a custom private tour with Roger through Adelaide hills - Fleurieu peninsula and then up through the coast back to Adelaide. We explored the major attractions, historic sites/buildings, beaches, restaurants, winery regions.

He was very experienced and had a high level of knowledge of the places we went through and also has a very good understanding of Adelaide and surrounding areas

It was a very enjoyable and affordable tour experience and i would highly recommend his services to anyone visiting Adelaide

  OMG. What a lucky find Roger of Ambler Touring  was for us. So accommodating listening to what we’ve already seen, to ensure he molded a tour not of repetition, but wow moments backed with incredible detail.
Is it, “thanks mate or thanks cobber” they say in Australia. Anyway, thanks heaps Roger for a momentous day we’ll always remember. Will definitely want more on our return.

  Thanks Roger for two amazing days of sightseeing in the Barossa and the Coorong.  We would not have seen and learnt so much about the beautiful areas we visited if we hadn't gone with you.
We highly recommend Ambler Touring 😊

  Well worth a visit
Regular public buses from Adelaide, takes 40mins. Relatively small village but plenty of small shops and restaurants/ pubs allowing the visitor to experience the history and enjoy German hospitality.

I had a great day with Roger from Ambler Tours. He went to so much effort to make everything run smoothly, linking up with the times required for me to depart and return. His knowledge was quite remarkable. Fantastic day out. Gina Solomon

  Wonderful day tour through McLaren Vale, highly recommend, just do it
Wanted to say Thankyou to Ambler Touring for making my trip to Adelaide so special. it was good to see the surrounding areas, this tour took me through McLaren Vale, a particular big Thankyou to my driver Di. Di is a local and shared lots of information and history about the area, was friendly and attentive and took me into wineries and art galleries I would never think of going myself or knew existed which is the point of going on a tour with a local :-) my personal favourite was Taranga Winery, the rose and grenache outstanding with a dozen delivered to QLD address no problem, the day tour ended with a loop around Adelaide beaches and return to city. Adelaide is well worth a visit & look around, Adelaide city pleasant & easy to navigate with its North, South, East and West terraces, a guided walk around botanic gardens with an amazing cacti display & glasshouse, ate at Restaurant Botanic and would go again, need to book ahead through, a trip to Kangaroo Island and got to see the stunning Fleurieu Peninsula down to Cape Jervis along the way, all this is possble in few days, 5/7 days perfect. Just do it.

  Adelaide and about
Roger was great to deal with by phone in picking our first tour , to Murray River and lunch cruise with several stops there and back . We were picked up by Di our chauffeur and guide who explained all the localities we visited , she was prepared to stop anywhere we wanted to ( only us on tour ) and suggested places that she felt would suit our interests . We booked a second day trip , again just 2 of us to the coast with an excellent lunch at Flying Fish restaurant and a first class winery tasting at Olivers Taranga ( McLaren Vale 0 , a look at the Dali sculptures at D'Arenberg and other stops suiting our interests. Modern , very comfortable vehicles that made for two excellent days out. Scott & Lizzie Greenland Christchurch NZ

  Great day trip, would HIGHLY recommend!
We recently had the pleasure of experiencing a private wine tour in the beautiful Barossa Valley with Di from Ambler Touring. We were provided with a number of great recommendations but were able to fully customise our itinerary. We chose to visit a diverse selection of wineries inbcluding Yaldara, Yalumba, Rusden and Seppeltsfield Road Distillers, allowing us to appreciate the different styles and nuances of Barossa Valley wines, as well as a stop at the Maggie Beer Farm for lunch, and a number of lookouts and points of interest in the region. Our lovely guide Di had an expert knowledge of the local area, and made this tour an unforgettable experience. We were not only treated to an array of outstanding wines but also given insights into the region's unique history and culture. Di's attention to detail and warm, friendly demeanor made us feel well looked after, and she ensured we had a fantastic and memorable day out. She even bought us cookies! Our tour in the Barossa Valley was an absolute delight and we would happily book with Ambler again to try some of the venues we missed. We highly recommend this experience to anyone seeking a truly immersive and memorable wine journey in one of Australia's most renowned wine regions. Thank you to Di and Roger for curating a perfect day and for looking after us! -Alex and Bridie
