§ 01 — The brief

Every group, every occasion.

Des’s Minibus offers tailor-made charters through Adelaide and South Australia’s tourism and wine regions. Over the years we’ve built quiet, personal relationships with individual wineries, restaurants and local attractions — the sort you only get from being the same family business, in the same state, for six decades.

Business field trip, pre-wedding activity, or a Saturday that just needs to be easy? Our friendly service staff will shape the run around what you actually need — no matter how large or small the group.

§ 05 — Word of mouth

Passengers, drivers, and the odd rescue at 5pm.

“Michael was the best driver we could have asked for our wine tour. So accommodating and great to deal with. Highly recommend.”
Rebekah Starick, 2024
“The taxi driver reversed back onto the concourse to unload a student in a wheelchair. Commendable to see that kind of thinking. Well done.”
Victor Harbor High School
“Left high and dry by another company — called Des's at 5pm. The operator went out of his way; driver Mark arrived promptly. Great customer focus.”
Jan & Bob, Port Elliot
