							City walking tour and Market experience. Good tour of city centre in a group of 13 after a bit of a slow start. The meeting point (back of Town Hall) is a little obscure, particularly on a Saturday morning when the city seems slow to awaken! Graeme knows his city and its history well and is a genial host. We followed with a tour of the impressive market with Kevin who seems to know all the stall-holders personally and arranged several snacks along the way. Thoroughly recommended.

							Great overview for day one of your visit. Carol was a great guide. She made the history of Adelaide personal with stories of her family coming to Adelaide five generations before and following the family to the present. That made the people, culture, markers, buildings and events very real. Carol also remembered bits about each of her guests and pointed out things we were each likely to especially enjoy. This was a great overview for our week in Adelaide.

							Absolutely must do for first timers to Adelaide. Our guide Rob was fantastic, he was friendly, welcoming, very knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. Doing this tour on arriving in Adelaide cuts out a lot of the guess work and made planning our coming days super easy due to all the info we found out. We also did the tour to the Adelaide food markets afterwards, was really interesting. The walking tour is at a leisurely pace and suitable for most people. Highly recommend doing it.

							Had a great time on both the tours I did. It’s always nice to visit somewhere and actually get a feel for the place through learning from someone who knows it, Dax did a great job and you could tell he really loves his home. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to get to know the place they are visiting or live in but don’t really know.

							We had booked on a Radelaide walking tour with Rob at 10am which was a 2 1/2 hour tour of the city. Rob was a great guide and took us to some of the main sites around King William St, North Terrace, Rundall Mall, Adelaide University and Adelaide station. It was a very good tour and he also gave tips on places to eat. His chocolate and biscuit treats were a nice touch as well.
