Excellent city tour with Andrea. - We booked a private 2 hour walking tour in Adelaide city for the first day of our stay. Usually these are later in the day but Flamboyance were very accommodating and arranged for 9.30am instead as wanted to be tour first thing. Andrea our tour guide was excellent! Very knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend this company.

Flamboyant Tours - top notch experience - While walking through the Adelaide CBD with our tour guide Katina, it was clear that there was a passion to instil as much of the Adelaide experience through the history and stories and pack it into 2.5 hours. A few hidden surprises await. Well worth a look if you're at a loose end and have time to spare.

Recommend for tourists…and locals! - Katina is a very knowledgeable and energetic tour guide with a great demeanor and communication skills. My two teens and I had a great time and learned a lot…even though we’ve been to Adelaide before. Recommend her tours to tourists of course…but also locals who would like to expand their knowledge of their home town in an easy to digest format.

Thanks for a great tour! - Kat is an excellent and enthusiastic guide. She speaks so clearly and has many interesting and amusing stories about Adelaide’s inhabitants, past and present. We loved this tour of hidden and (some more obvious) special places in the city.

Top Notch - A fun way to see and learn about Adelaide. Katina clearly has excellent knowledge of Adelaide, its history and its people. The tour brought to life some key events that shaped the city and gave us a perspective of Adelaide that many visitors would miss out on. The tour was the highlight of an already full day in Adelaide and Katina's delivery in was personable, inspiring and top-notch.
