A "Must Do" in Adelaide - We did this walking tour on our first day in Adelaide. Dax was a great guide, orientating us, giving all sorts of interesting facts and recommendations on other things to do during our trip. We did the tour on a hot day, and Dax was considerate with stopping in the shade where possible. I would definitely recommend this your to anyone coming to Adelaide.

Informative easy tour - Very informative walking tour. Good way to learn more about Adelaide rather than aimlessly walking around. & missing lots. He adapts the tour to the walking ability of the weakest in the group - in our case a toddler in a pram. I'm sure you could do the tour again & have different stops.

Great get to know Adelaide tour - Our tour guide Dax gave us a wonderful overview of the history of Adelaide. The tour started with how Adelaide was named and how the city was planned by its early visionaries. The walking tour (we did get to ride a tram for part of the tour) lasted about 2.5 hours and took in many important historic sites. At each stop Dax explained the relevance of where we where in terms of how the city had developed over the years.
If you are looking for a quick deep dive into Adelaide’s history and development then this is the tour for you. Dex was very enthusiastic about the city and his clear explanations made the tour very enjoyable.

A highly enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours - We have just completed this wonderful tour, Dax was extremely informative and we found content very enjoyable, we were the oldest in the group and it was no struggle at all (anyone could do this tour, keep up and enjoy it)
I just wish we had done it at the beginning of out holiday, I would recommend that you book this in the first couple of days you're in this wonderful city.
