Canadians do Adelaide!
This was our second day in Adelaide, and we met Katina for a 1.5 hour guided walk around its downtown core. She was absolutely excellent: very informative, funny, shared many colourful local anecdotes —— it was obvious how much she loved her home town. She knew exactly what to do so that our group of 10 could easily see and hear her: clear instructions on where to stand, where to look, and a good strong voice. Thank you so much, Katina!
Operator response
Thank you Sandi! It's so important to us that guests know exactly what we're referencing and why, so it's awesome to know that made your experience all the better! It was lovely hosting you both, safe travels! -Katina

An enjoyable and interesting walking tour
Olly took us on a very accessible tour that was suited to the mobility of the four people on tour. Olly is very knowledgeable and made the walk so interesting with lots of stories and lesser known destinations.
Highly recommended.
Operator response
We are consistently working to make sure our tours are accessible across different needs, and it's so important to receive this feedback. We're so glad you had a great experience and that you enjoyed discovering Adelaide with Olly! Thank you for joining us, safe travels! -Katina

Excellent tour for first time visitors
For our first ever visit to Adelaide, we booked a walking tour with Flamboyance Tours and were extremely happy with the information shared by the very knowledgeable and super friendly Katina. She took the time to find out what our group wanted to achieve and then met all our expectations. She answered all our questions and after the tour we felt confident with finding our way around independently and revisited several of the sites she had shown us. Would definitely recommend this tour to friends and family
Operator response
That's exactly how we hope everyone feels after taking our tours - ready to explore and armed with understanding of the city. Really glad we could be your starting point to exploring Adelaide, thank you for joining us! Take care, Katina

An underated Jewel
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
Operator response
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

Insightful & interesting
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!
Operator response
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

The perfect introduction to Adelaide.
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.
Operator response
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
