A thoroughly enjoyable walking tour full of information and facts from guide Graeme.The two hours spent in the North Adelaide heritage precinct was great value for money and I learnt a heap in that time.Appreciative of the fact that I was the only customer on the day so I felt pretty special.

What a wonderful few hours enjoyed with my tour guide, Graeme, exploring the more historical parts of Adelaide. Graeme is born and bred in Adelaide and passionate about his city and state, which was evident in abundance. I’ve learnt a lot about Adelaide, their founding fathers mixed with loads of amusing fun-facts.

So many fabulous stories and all the gorgeous architecture in the city. Not very far to walk at all. Brilliant! A lovely intro to South Australia

Graeme was our guide. Very knowledgeable. We would like a little more historical of the buildings and maybe a little less time on the sculptures. We did not request that but I'm sure he would have done that for us.

We spent a lovely couple of hours with our guide, Graeme, visiting some of the historic sites of North Adelaide. There was a lot to see and appreciate - so many beautiful buildings and so much history. Greame was a wonderful guide. He was very knowledgeable, providing us with the history of he building and monuments we visited, and taking us to a few "hidden" spots that would have never known about had we gone by ourselves. Well worth it.
