							Great tour! What a fantastic few hours exploring Adelaide! Our guide Graeme was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and great with answering any questions that we had. It gave a really good overall of the city including history and future plans for the city. Finishing at the market so we could grab a delicious lunch was a lovely touch.

							A fun walkabout to learn how to navigate Adelaide I was alone in Adelaide for business so wanted to get out and see the sites and get the lay of the land. Dax, our tour guide, was great! He showed us things I would have walked right by and explained the history of Adelaide. Although it was a damp, dreary day, Dax kept us moving and sheltered us when the rains kicked up a little. Great value and a nice group of people, from Virginia, US, where I happen to be from! Go figure 😁
