5.00The Social Justice tour was very informative and interesting. Graeme led the tour and he knew all the history and especially the role women had played over the years. Well worth it. Highly recommend.

5.00I have been on many guided tours led by Graeme. Without exception, his research, knowledge and professionalism are outstanding. Graeme has both broad and deep knowledge of Adelaide's history and contemporary issues. He links key features of the tour to many interesting facts to provide a well-structured and fascinating tour. The Social Justice tour highlighted Adelaide's achievements in many areas and Graeme seamlessly presented these at pivotal parts of the tour ... buildings, statues and plaques were given life with his detailed and entertaining commentary. This tour will appeal to both Adelaide residents and those from interstate or overseas. On the walk I was part of, one attendee was from New Zealand and her interaction and reactions were proof of how Graeme's research and presentation skills combine to create a fascinating experience. I am from Adelaide with reasonable knowledge of the city's history but I learnt many new facts on this walk. Highly recommended .... take a stroll down North Terrace with Graeme and discover why South Australia has been a trail blazer in social justice issued.
