Radelaide loves Adelaide - Our guide made each of us international travelers feel welcome and shared his love of Adelaide with interesting historical stories. The tour was well described on the site, no unwelcome surprises. The guide was open to questions and even provided "tastes of Adelaide" during a snack break.

Thank you Carol - much
We were incredibly fortunate to have the wonderfully knowledgeable Carol as our guide. From the very beginning, she brought such warmth, intelligence, and genuine passion to the tour that it quickly became far more than just a sightseeing experience. It felt like we were being welcomed into the hidden heart of Adelaide by someone who truly loves and understands the city.
Carol’s storytelling was exceptional. She shared not only the history and well-known landmarks, but also the strange, quirky, and fascinating little secrets that make Adelaide so unique and memorable. Every location came alive through her insights, humour, and remarkable depth of knowledge. She has a rare ability to connect places with the people, stories, and moments that shaped them, giving us an entirely new appreciation and understanding of “Radelaide.”
What stood out most was how engaging and thoughtful she was throughout the entire experience. Nothing felt rushed or rehearsed. Instead, every conversation felt personal, authentic, and deeply informative. By the end of the tour, we felt we had discovered a side of Adelaide we never would have found on our own.
I would absolutely recommend this tour without hesitation to anyone wanting to truly understand the hidden character, culture, and secrets of Adelaide. It is an experience that stays with you long after it finishes.
A very special thank you as well for your patience and kindness toward my mother, who is 82 and moves a little slowly these days. Your understanding, care, and consideration meant so much to us. She thoroughly enjoyed every moment, especially listening to your incredible background knowledge and the stories behind the places we visited. Seeing how engaged and happy she was made the experience even more meaningful for our family.
Thank you again, Carol, for such a memorable, heartfelt, and enriching experience. You helped us see Adelaide through completely new eyes, and we will remember this tour very fondly for years to come.

An Adelaide we would nver have known about - Dax was our informative and entertaining guide. He paced the tour well and usually there was somewhere to sit when he stopped to talk. In 3 hrs, including a short rest for some SA delicacies, he covered a lot of ground, mixing history with fascinating fact. All in all worth every penny!

Worthwhile Tour to find out about Adelaide - Great tour to get your bearings when arriving in Adelaide. Gave a comprehensive history starting in the 1800s. Interesting stories Timing was about write Posdibly more time for photography
Need to have a contingency plan or policy about what happens when a participant keeps wandering off and the whole group has to keep waiting for them while the guide locates them We would have lost approximately 15-20 mins waiting consequently most participants did not catch the tram to the Central Market
