5.00Graham was very knowledgeable about the properties and the history of the area. He had obviously done a lot of research. Well paced to take in the suburb. Graham was patient and helpful with any queries we had. He started the tour on time and we had a lot of fun.

5.00A very enjoyable deep dive into the stories and architectural details of the charming East End! Graeme brought the history to life - and gracefully entertained all of my questions to boot! I walk around the CBD with fresh, informed eyes. A great walk!

5.00I can really recommend the tour run by Graeme as he has so much fascinating information about the buildings, history and people to share. A small group of 4 so easy to hear everything and saw and learned a lot in the 2 hours. Will return for his other tours each time I’m in Adelaide.
