Couple walking first time in city - This was an above average walking tour. Lots of accurate information and a very thorough and enthusiastic local guide. She also had experience of managing tours in other countries. We had a great time.

Well worth doing! - A wonderful tour of Adelaide. Very informative and interesting. It opened our eyes to things we'd missed when walking around on our own and brought the city to life. Fantastic! Well worth it. Thanks, Kat.

A great way to be introduced to Adelaide - Our tour with Katina was excellent. She demonstrated enthusiasm for her hometown and had extensive knowledge about all the sights we visited. She was extremely considerate of my wife who was using a cane and made sure there were stops where a bench could be used by my wife while she communicated information about the sights. Highly recommend this tour.

Awesome Adelaide in 90 minute private walking tour! - South Australia Tourism arranged this tour for me and my husband, and we enjoyed a tour of Adelaide Markets as well as downtown and Rundle Mall. Katina was informative, and knowledgeable, and even brought visual aides. I love a good map, especially when learning about a new city. She even gave us a fabulous dinner recommendation and followed up with a video to teach us about Aussie rules Football - a first round playoff game was happening in that night in Adelaide. So much fun and a wonderful orientation to Adelaide.

Great Adelaide Tour Choice! - We did 2 tours with Katina: The Central Market Tour in the morning, and the Intimate Private Walking Tour in the afternoon. Doing both tours really gave us an inside view of Adelaide and what a wonderful city it is. Katina’s love for her city really came through, and she was very knowledgeable about the history of the city including the recent past. She also could tell stories about the origin of the Central Market vendors, and personally knew many of them. We would highly recommend Katina’s tours on your visit to Adelaide.
