Hahndorf Walking Tours — Attraction in Hahndorf

Be careful of your dates before you book. Out of excitement I accidentally booked the wrong date for a tour for my mother and I. My first trip to South Australia, and our first trip to Hahndorf. I emailed the company within 10 minutes of the booking, requesting the correct date. I found out the correct date was booked out, and the next available option was after I had left SA, so I requested a refund. There is a 20% cancellation policy, which normally I wouldn't complain about. However my mistake would not have cost the booking of another couple for the day in question and would not have caused a loss of money to the business. I was charged the full 20% cancellation fee. If this was my business, I would have completed a full refund out of good faith (and in my line of work, we are often faced with mistakes of customers orders that we wave such fees with good faith). I emailed a response saying I was disappointed due to my quick emailing with the issue, and the response was "I never like it when I have to pay a cancellation fee either." Not a professional response. I will not be booking with this...

Amazing night on the Hahndorf After Dark Walking Tour 🔦

Dinner at Haus was lovely, no photos but everyone enjoyed their selection from the menu 🍽️

Our tour guide was a descendant of one of the founding families of Hahndorf, her personal connection to the history of this beautiful town adding so much depth to the experience.

We learnt about the architectural history of the town, personal stories of the descendants through reenactments and gained an empathetic view of the struggles of those who made the choice to move so far away from their home country of Prussia. We also heard a little bit about Hahndorf's first nations people, the Peramangk people, who called Hahndorf: Bukartilla. I have certainly gained a new appreciation of the place and I can't wait to go back during the day and see it with a new perspective.

Sharon, who typically runs the tours was very helpful with me organising this group event for the community centre I volunteer for. It was an amazing night and I can't wait to do another walking tour...

Our after-dark walking tour in Hahndorf with Sharon was an enlightening experience. Sharon's knowledge about how the village came into existence was truly impressive. Her insights into the history of the colony, and the reasons behind their journey to this far-off land, made the tour both educational and captivating.

Sharon surprised us with a nifty travel projector, adding a unique and visual dimension to the experience. Sharon's passion for the roots of Hahndorf shone through, and her enthusiasm was contagious. She was a pleasure to be around, and I couldn't have asked for a more knowledgeable and engaging guide. I recommend taking a tour with Sharon to explore the rich history...
