Skip took me on a great tour of the Barossa Valley. It was my first time there and I wanted to experience some of the better wines. The London Cab was great! There was no rushing and no timeline. We saw some great sights and tasted some amazing wine. I would highly recommend Skip for anyone looking for a tour. Highlight of my trip so far

What an amazing personal tour. Skip took us to some great cellar doors and his knowledge of the area was brilliant and so informative plus his a bit of a comedian, so fun to be with. If you want a fun day out in an iconic London cab this is the tour for you. You won’t be disappointed we loved it.

What an amazing experience. I booked a full day tour as a surprise for my husband for our first wedding anniversary and it did not disappoint. Skip is an amazing host and his knowledge of the area is great. He was warm, friendly, informative and a great tour guide. Rachel was also so lovely with the emails I sent while planning and extremely patient with all my questions. We both had an amazing and memorable day and would recommend a trip with Barossa Red Vintage tours to anyone.

Had the most amazing experience.
The hospitality was second to none
Skip was truly the most friendliest, professional and most knowledgeable Chauffeur. He took us to some amazing spots that we may not have known anbout and showed us how beautiful the Barossa valley is and I would highly recommend even for non wine drinkers like us.
Thankyou Skip and Rachel

Rachel, Skip’s wife, was also a big part of making our experience special. She was so easy to deal with when we were booking the tour, making the entire process seamless. As an added bonus, we even got to visit a winery where Rachel worked, and her warmth and hospitality really made our day even more memorable.
We visited some incredible wineries, historical villages, and scenic spots that were beyond beautiful, all thanks to Skip’s deep knowledge of the area. His warm personality and attention to detail made us feel so comfortable and special throughout the entire tour. It genuinely felt like a bespoke adventure curated just for us.
This was without a doubt one of the best days we’ve ever had, and it made our anniversary celebration even more memorable, Skip even surprised us with a bottle of wine for our anniversary. If you’re looking for an exclusive, tailored experience through Barossa Valley, Skip and Rachel are the people to go with. Highly recommended we loved everything about this day and would not hesitate to book again.

We opted with Big Red Vintage tours. Skip picked us up on time, in fact he was early which was great. He has a wonderful vintage English Black cab painted in red! Spacious inside for the two of us and a fun way to see the valley.
There were a few wineries we wanted to visit and then we let Skip guide us and take us around.
We went to beautiful wineries all different sizes , all with beautiful gardens . We did about 4 wineries and a tawny place which was really delish and a cool place if you like fortified wine.
We stopped at a beautiful place for lunch.
Lunch is not included and either are the tastings. One tasting we did not have to pay as they knew Skip. The others were minimal , anywhere from $10-20 AUS per person. That is usually waved with a purchase and the wineries ship all over the world.
We got to see Luhrs Cottage which if you are a history buff you will love this old
Cottage from 1850.
Skip was knowledgeable, friendly and obliging.
Highly recommend touring the Barossa with Skip from Big Red Vintage tours.

We had a beautiful day enjoying the Barossa with our own customised full day tour. The Red taxi was unfortunately off the road undergoing repairs, so our tour was in the White taxi and it is very comfortable. Skip is an excellent chauffeur and very attentive. His knowledge of the area, including historical as well as food & wine, is extensive, and his witty personality makes for an extremely enjoyable day. My request was for Sparkling Reds, and I was not disappointed 🍾 I could not recommend BRVT enough and would encourage anyone to book a tour with them - you will not be disappointed.

Skip the owner-operator looked after the two of us on our tour of some of the Barossa's fine cellar doors. He tailored our visit to our request and was extremely knowledgeable of the region's attributes and history. We would highly recommend that you contact Skip to show you around the Barossa in his wonderful London Cab.

Skip was excellent, picked us up and took us wherever we wanted to go, plus some recommended wineries
Skip knows a lot about the Barossa, its history, the people and culture. Highly recommended, affordable and worthwhile
Travelling around in the old Taxi is amazing, chauffeur service as well
If your heading to the Barossa, book with Skip
The only regret is we ran out of time, definitely will book again when we return
The Barossa has so much history and beautiful wine, thanks Skip and Rachel for an amazing experience

This is a MUST if you’re in Barossa Valley! We were able to communicate with Skip before the tour even started to let him know what kind of wines we love the most and we were wanting to go to some of the smaller cellar doors. He came into the first cellar door with us to get an even better get an idea of what we liked and then took us to amazing vineyards! It was an amazing one on one experience and the car is SO COOL! We learned about the history of the area during the drive between cellar doors and even saw some kangaroos! We really cannot say enough good things about Skip and his business!

Absolutely amazing!!! Our group (3 couples) had a fantastic time all thanks to Skip. He made everything about the trip so smooth and effortlessly. We selected a few wineries and shared our itinerary with Skip. He had no issue letting us do our own thing (some drivers will not let you choose your own itinerary). He was funny and shared a few of his life stories with us (he has traveled the world and has some amazing stories to tell). At the same time he was polite and respectful of our time as a group. We got to enjoy the White car as "Roger" (the red one) was being serviced. Our car was just as beautiful and very comfortable for our group of 6. 10/10 would recommend. Hire Skip as your driver and have the most amazing time at Barossa!!

We had a wonderful day in the Barossa Valley with Skip, visiting some amazing boutique vineyards. The wine and food was all delicious! Because we were staying in Adelaide we caught the train the Gawler and meet Skip at the station. Don’t be put off if you’re also staying in Adelaide, Rachel and Skip made this so easy. I can’t recommend this experience highly enough, the whole day was tailored for us. Thanks, Rachel and Skip for a holiday memory we won’t forget.

The highlight of my trip!!! What a spectacularly memorable day out - without a doubt the highlight of our stay in the Barossa!! Our experience with Barossa Red Vintage Tours really ticked all our boxes but let me tell you why (no order of preference): The WHEELS!! Such a luxuriously regal and spacious ride aboard Roger the beautiful big red London cab (spoiler - he’s a serious head turner and with Skip our gracious driver and host opening the door for me at each stop and waves from passers-by I really felt like a celebrity!!) The cab is immaculate, with padded leather seats, plush carpet interior and aircon throughout so is extremely comfortable. The HOST!! Skip was absolutely wonderful company - he not only kept us laughing with his witty humour but he is also a fountain of knowledge on the history of the Barossa, and I’ve walked away from my tour with some truly fascinating insights about the region. He thoughtfully tailored our tour to exactly our needs and was happy to adapt the day to fit our energy as we went along. Skip really made us feel special and was dedicated to giving us exactly the experience we were seeking - his enthusiasm and love of the region really shines through and is wonderfully infectious!! The WINES!! Barossa Valley has many many more vineyards and cellar doors than I ever imagined - it would be impossible to visit them all in a week, never mind a day!! But Skip’s uniquely tailored selection of impeccable quality cellar doors on our tour was absolute perfection - truly magnificent wineries perched on hills and surrounded by majestic vineyards, dripping with grapes in all their glory. And because Skip carefully chose wine tastings to match our preferences and budget, we were able to buy some bottles to relive the memories once we get home!! Holiday life doesn’t get any better than this tour - well worth every cent!!!

Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Barossa Valley. Skip was an amazing host, booked great venues and showed us cellar doors we would have never found on our own. He's extremely knowledgeable about the area, knows all the niche locations and even gave us some recommendations for the remainder of our trip. 5 stars isn't enough!

Nothing was trouble for Skip as he took my new wife and I wherever we wanted and for as long as we wanted. Highly recommend this private tour - no better way to see the Barossa. As we wanted to experience both cars he even made the effort to swap during the day. And made plans for his mate at the brewery to open especially for us on the man's day off.
Will definitely be contacting Skip again when in the Barossa - I highly recommend you do the same.

Thank you so much Skip for an amazing day out in Roger. You perfectly matched the wineries, breweries and food to our personalities and we loved hearing the history of the area. An absolute highlight for us was sitting in the sun with a platter and glass of rose in the absolutely beautiful Paul Bengay designed garden at Barossa Valley Estate. The fact that you took our interests into account and adjusted the tour accordingly was outstanding. We are so happy to recommend Barossa Red Vintage Tours.
