The gentle amble around the area was very interesting, with hidden gems and unknown facts for the lay tourist. My guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic and I certainly recommend this tour.
Thank you Elizabeth, it was lovely hosting you and sharing the unique stories that make Adelaide the city it is. Safe travels, Katina
Great informative tour! Kat has great knowledge of the city and was able to pass it all on in a fun way.
Thank you so much! Sharing Adelaide's past and present is always fun because there are so many great stories. It was lovely hosting you both! Take care, Katina
We had a fantastic walking tour of Adelaide. Our guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the city’s history and culture. The tour offered a wonderful blend of architectural highlights, local stories, and hidden corners we would never have discovered on our own. It was the perfect introduction to Adelaide and left us with a true appreciation of its charm and character.
Thank you so much for choosing to take a private tour with us! Seeing Adelaide with a local really does make all the difference to understanding the city better. It was a pleasure sharing Adelaide's stories with you all, and I hope you enjoyed the rest of your South Australian experience. Safe travels, Katina
This was an above average walking tour. Lots of accurate information and a very thorough and enthusiastic local guide. She also had experience of managing tours in other countries. We had a great time.
Thank you so much! Presenting information accurately from a local's perspective is what makes our private Adelaide walking tour special. It was lovely sharing the city's stories with you both and I'm glad it's set you up for your stay. Safe travels, Katina
A wonderful tour of Adelaide. Very informative and interesting. It opened our eyes to things we'd missed when walking around on our own and brought the city to life. Fantastic! Well worth it. Thanks, Kat.
Bringing Adelaide's fun stories to life is a privilege for us, and sharing them with you both made for a great afternoon. Thank you! Safe travels, Katina
Brilliant experience Katina is a lovely passionate enthusiastic tour guide We had a great experience on our first day in Adelaide and learnt so much
Thank you! It's great to know you got a lot from walking around with me and it was a pleasure hosting you! Seeing Adelaide's sights and learning its stories is best done by foot, and we're proud to be born-and-raised local guides who live and breathe the city. Safe travels, Katina
Our tour with Katina was excellent. She demonstrated enthusiasm for her hometown and had extensive knowledge about all the sights we visited. She was extremely considerate of my wife who was using a cane and made sure there were stops where a bench could be used by my wife while she communicated information about the sights. Highly recommend this tour.
Thank you both so much! It was a pleasure showing you the best of Adelaide. It's important to us that you get the most out of your experience by making it comfortable, so I'm glad I could do that. Safe travels, Katina
South Australia Tourism arranged this tour for me and my husband, and we enjoyed a tour of Adelaide Markets as well as downtown and Rundle Mall. Katina was informative, and knowledgeable, and even brought visual aides. I love a good map, especially when learning about a new city. She even gave us a fabulous dinner recommendation and followed up with a video to teach us about Aussie rules Football - a first round playoff game was happening in that night in Adelaide. So much fun and a wonderful orientation to Adelaide.
Thank you so much! I'm glad to know you enjoyed the tour. It was lovely sharing everything about the city with you both and I'm really happy to know you were able to follow up on the recommendations during yourb stay! It was just a shame that our team ended up losing the football match... hope to see you in Adelaide another time! Take care, Katina
We had a great morning out with Katina where she provided an insight into the locals Adelaide. We learned so much and we would highly recommend this tour to others!
Thank you so much Louise! We had a great time and I'm glad you and James benefited from hearing the city's amazing stories. Safe travels, Katina
We did 2 tours with Katina: The Central Market Tour in the morning, and the Intimate Private Walking Tour in the afternoon. Doing both tours really gave us an inside view of Adelaide and what a wonderful city it is. Katina’s love for her city really came through, and she was very knowledgeable about the history of the city including the recent past. She also could tell stories about the origin of the Central Market vendors, and personally knew many of them. We would highly recommend Katina’s tours on your visit to Adelaide.
Thank you so much Kimberly! It was a lovely day being able to share the stories of the market and also the city in general with the two of you! I'm glad it provided such great scope for your stay in Adelaide. Take care, Katina
