Andrea was perfectly on time, enthusiastic and knowledgable about her home town. We learnt much about Adelaide & South Australia - a seemingly underated jewel in more ways than one. Thank you Andrea
You're welcome, and thank you! Our city is indeed often underrated, but with guides like Andrea we bring Adelaide to life to show its vivacity. We appreciate you wanting to discover the city! Safe travels, Katina
Andrea was a fantastic tour guide as we explored various sites around the Adelaide CBD. While we had visited a few of these places the previous afternoon whilst walking around the city, having her insight & historical knowledge really added to our enjoyment of the cityscape. We also picked up some great dining tips. Thanks, Andrea, for a very pleasant morning!
You're welcome - and thank you for joining us! Andrea's extensive knowledge is a huge asset in appreciating Adelaide's cityscape through its stories, so we're glad attending the tour could provide additional context for your stay. Safe travels, Katina
Olly was great. Knowledgable and personable. A really enjoyable couple of hours.
Thank you for wanting to explore Adelaide with us Gail! It's great to see that you enjoyed Olly's enthusiasm for sharing Adelaide's stories. Take care, Katina
I had the pleasure of joining Katina last week for the Welcome to Adelaide tour. It is the absolute perfect way to start your visit to this great little city. Discounted coffee, history, culture, street art, architecture, tips and tricks and more. You get it all. The departure point was super easy to find and the tour ends at the Adelaide Central Market - just in time for lunch, coincidentally! I would highly recommend this tour to anybody visiting Adelaide. I wish actually that I had of had the time to do the F Factor food tour or the Adelaide Central Market tour. Amazing value for money.
Thanks so much :) I'm glad you appreciated the mix of history, culture and street art all in the one experience! You know where to find us when you return to Adelaide for another tour. Safe travels, Katina
Thank you Ollie for taking us on the walking tour in spite of the wet weather. We enjoyed the tour - the Malls Balls, the pigs in Rundle Mall, and the stories about the Adelaide Arcade. Many thanks.
It's lovely to see that you enjoyed discovering Adelaide even if the conditions weren't ideal. Thank you for joining us, Olly is a great storyteller and we're glad you had a good time! Take care, Katina
Kat was a brilliant guide - her enthusiasm was infectious and she had some great facts and stories to tell about Adelaide. It was a great introduction to the city - we would thoroughly recommend this walking tour.
