Iconic Adelaide Walking Tour
Description
The Iconic Adelaide Walking Tour is our three-hour, immersive walk around the city, sharing the city’s historical and cultural icons! Let a born-and-raised local guide give you understanding of how Adelaide became the city it is today, and how it’s still evolving. Adelaide is a city with plenty of firsts – you'll learn about iconic monuments, moments in time, and movers and shakers like former state premier Don Dunstan. Discover the city through its defining landmarks in detail – both those in plain sight and off the beaten track. Wander intimate locations within the northern half of Adelaide’s city centre, including the beautiful North Terrace Cultural Precinct, Adelaide Riverbank area and Adelaide Town Hall.

This was the perfect way to spend an afternoon wandering around Adelaide. Katina is an excellent guide with an amazing abundance of knowledge about Adelaide's history and the city's highlights that she showed me, many of which I would not have discovered by myself. She has a very easy going, friendly nature and was a delight to spend the afternoon with. I thoroughly recommend taking this tour.
Thanks so much Doug! The Iconic tour isn't only about showcasing what makes Adelaide iconic, but also sharing some of the city's lesser-explored spots. Hosting you was great fun and I'm glad you enjoyed the afternoon. Hope to see you next time, Katina
This was a really great afternoon seeing a wide range of buildings and sights (many of which we’d never have found on our own) and learning a great deal about the history and development of Adelaide. Olly was an informative and entertaining guide - our interest never flagged.
Thank you Gareth! The Iconic Adelaide tour really does get you past main monuments to see some of the city's hidden gems. Olly's guidance just elevates the experience, he's awesome! Safe travels, Katina
We have been traveling for 45 days and the Flamboyance walking tour in Adelaide was by far the best. Katina knows all about Adelaide and shares the history, architecture, and anecdotes to make it come alive. She was also sensitive to mobility issues and kept us in the shade to minimize the heat. She kept us thoroughly engaged and entertained for over 3 hours. She showed us the wonderful museums here and told us about restaurants and shopping we would not have known about. What a joy to spend time with her. We really can’t say enough about this splendid tour. She showed us what a cool and appealing city Adelaide is. If you are visiting Adelaide, please book with Flamboyance for your first day to enhance all the rest of your time here.
Thank you so much! We always make sure you're at your most comfortable as we wander the city. Having taken you on a private version of this tour, we were able to accommodate additional requests. I'm so glad you saw Adelaide for the cool city it is, and that you could enjoy all it has to offer! It was a lovely three hours spent with you both! Take care, Katina
Andrea was an excellent guide. She was enthusiastic and really knowledgeable. We learnt lots and saw plenty we would have missed. We did the three hour walking tour which was well paced, varied and interesting. The walk was well planned and finished exactly on time. We highly recommend this tour and felt it very good value for money. Thank you Andrea.

Had a lovely walking tour around the most important buildings and sights in central Adelaide. Katina is a great guide. She is local and very knowledgeable regarding the history of the area and the buildings and gardens on the tour. Her experience and friendly personality allows the group to access many locations that would otherwise be unknown to the public and certainly any visitors. Highly recommend!
