A very friendly easy city to get around - I found adelaide beautiful loved there old meets new homes felt like I'd gone back in history. The cottages where all old stone and just gorgeous plus taking the tram made getting around the city easy. Then the train can take you right out to the beaches where there is delight to the eyes of different things there is much to do and of walking of course. Lots of beautiful food in cafes and restaurants plus the main central markets not to be missed. Plus if you get the chance to go to carrick hill house the house and gardens are amazing spent the afternoon there.

Must do to get local knowledge in Adelaide - This is our first time in Adelaide and we wanted to find out about the city and gain a better understanding of the history, arts, food and culture. Radelaide gave us all of this in the tour and more. Dax was friendly, made us feel very welcome as set off on our private walking tour around Adelaide city.
He walked at our pace and share many stories around the characters that helped Adelaide become what it is today, share stories of the history and gave us tips around where to go, what to see or look out for whilst we were in Adelaide. No big sales or push to certain cafes or souvenir places, just really great local knowledge that we would never have found searching in internet. The city is very easy to walk around and the time went really quickly. Thank you Dax it was an absolute highlight.
