5.00Bob, our local ‘Radeaide’ tour guide was very informative and we enjoyed learning the history of Adelaide and of its forward thinking founders. Bob took time to stop in shady spots whilst he shared interesting facts on local sites and the Adelaide founders who invested in the University and Government buildings, libraries etc. Highly recommend as a good way to get to know Adelaide.
