Good tour value for money
Graemes knowledge is amazing. It was a 3 hour tour. One adjustment, allow for participants to be seated during the tour when providing the history etc. There were plenty of places to stop and sit and listen. Otherwise highly recommend.

Enhanced Our Visit to Adelaide!
Our recent walking tour in Adelaide completely won us over! Our guide, Dax, was amazing—incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely respectful in his acknowledgment of the Kaurna people and their culture. The 2.5-hour itinerary flowed nicely, and the little teasers about what was coming later really kept us interested. Dax shared fascinating stories about Adelaide’s history, from its early days to its modern-day vibe. Learning about the progressive social reforms and visionary urban planning was a huge highlight for us. He also offered great tips on where to explore after the tour and even shared with us the local way of enjoying Tim Tams and ordering coffee. If we ever find ourselves back in Adelaide, we’d definitely sign up for another tour with Dax!
