Flamboyant Tour Sweet Historical full of local passion - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you love discovering a city through its food and stories, the F Factor Tour with Katina from Flamboyant Tours in Adelaide is an absolute must. Katina is a true local, and what makes this tour so special is how personal it feels. She shares passionate stories about growing up in Adelaide, weaving her childhood memories into every stop. Her mum worked in a café in the arcade and her grandparents had a fruit and vegetable stand at the market, so the history she shares isn’t just something she learned, it’s something she lived. We explored beautiful spots like the historic Adelaide Arcade with delicious tastings at Haigh's Chocolates and Ditters, then continued through City Cross Arcade to visit local favourites like Balfour's Cafe and Charlesworth Nuts. The tour finished at the vibrant Adelaide Central Market, where we tasted incredible treats from Con's Fine Food and Skala Bakery. Every stop had a story — many about family-run businesses that have been beloved Adelaide institutions for over 100 years. Expect lots of sweets, delicious bites, and fascinating local legends along the way. Katina’s warmth, knowledge, and deep personal connection to the city make this tour unforgettable. It’s not just a food tour, it’s a heartfelt journey through Adelaide’s history, culture, and local flavours. Highly recommended! 🍫🥐🥜🍰

A true local must do tour to discover Adelaide - Katina was incredible. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you like sweet stuff... She is a true local making us discovering Adelaide through her childhood memories with such passion and pride for the local businesses and pioneers that have marked the past and still continue to be legends in the food history landscape of Adelaide. Flamboyants Tours has tons of different tours too and I will definitely try to do another one with Katina and her team.

The F Factor - Adelaide food tour - highly recommend. - The guide was lovely, engaging and knowledgeable. I had to translate everything to my mum who was with me and the guide was understanding and patient and made sure I had time to do so. She made us feel very welcomed. The food and samples we tried were really nice. The commentary on the local food industry and history was interesting and compelling. It was a great tour that I would definitely recommend if you enjoy discovering local food venues

A fun delicious experience. - Andrea was an excellent guide, she was knowledgeable and very personable. We visited foodie shops we would not have otherwise visited and learnt about some of South Australia's history and food history. The pace suited us, especially considering the hot weather at the time, and there was plenty of time at each stop. We had a great time.

Fantastic Food Tour - Fabulous food tour. Did a tour with Ollie - great guy, fantastic sense of humour and huge knowledge. Was so interesting to hear of the local produce, try amazing array of food and contextual stories. Later that day we went to Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds concert, had a gourmet hamper box, and was able to identify some of the products from the food tour. Made it so fun. Highly recommended. A+

Prime products & produce South Australia has to offer. - We did a morning tour with Ollie & Katina which started at Haigh Chocolates & ended at the Central Markets. Ollie & Katina gave us a rewarding insight into the beloved and unique products & produce offered by South Australia. They were excited and proud of what SA had to offer & their joy & enthusiasm was infectious. What a pleasant way to spend 3 hours. We went away home with bags full of samples that kept us going for the rest of our 3-week holiday. Ollie made us a fan of Fruitchocs so check out those shops when you visit SA. Highly recommended!
