Fun and informative tour of Adelaide - Our tour guide, Dax, was knowledgeable, helpful and fun. We learnt about the culture, history and people of Adelaide including indigenous and colonial influences.
I personally loved the trip to the library and learning about the influential women of Adelaide.
The tour was well paced with time to take in various landmarks and stories and also included local snacks and drinks.
I would highly recommend this tour!

Engaging Adelaide walking tour - Dax facilitated a memorable city tour with his entertaining and factual commentary, which captured the spirit of Adelaide. It was so helpful to understand a little of the history of the city and its development, linked to various landmarks on the tour and some quirky fun facts. A major bonus for us was that it provided an informed platform for the remainder of our stay. I am 74yrs and found the pace relaxed and easy to manage. I would have no hesitation in recommending the tour.

Must do tour of Adelaide - This is a must do tour. I learnt so much about Adelaide that I never knew before. Dax was an awesome tour guide. Super knowledgeable. Wonderful stories of the city without information overload. Great pace too (not walking too fast). I enjoyed it so much, I then booked the Radelaide Tours hidden Laneways and Street Art tour for the next day. Went to completely different areas in downtown Adelaide. I am glad I did both tours, they really made my stay in Adelaide.

An absolute must-do in Adelaide - This is absolutely a must-do in Adelaide! We were only in Adelaide for 36 hours so decided to do a walking tour to get a feel for the city. Dax is the perfect tour guide - enthusiastic, engaging, informative, funny & very knowledgeable - I don't think there was a question about Adelaide that he couldn't answer!
This tour is really well balanced in terms of the distance we walked, allowing time for pauses to take photos, and a stop for snacks. 100% recommend for anyone spending time in Adelaide. I only wish we'd had more time in the city so we could go back to explore some of the places we passed by in more detail. Thank you Dax!
