A very knowledgeable and engaging tour guide. If you are looking for a tour takes you through Adelaide city, then I would recommend this. Timing of the tour was on point, we learnt many different interesting facts. Graeme was exceptionally accomodating and factual, he left us all with a smile. Satisfied with the tour and pricing schedule. Not as much walking as expected so therefore everyone could do it. Would recommend.

Yesterday we went on the walking tour and our guide was Graham. We had a wonderful experience. Graham is passionate about his home town of Adelaide and his knowledge of every area we covered was extraordinary. We found out things, that had we not gone on the tour, we would not have known without Grahams insight. It was also an easy walk so anyone could do it. Well worth it. I will be recommending to my friends when they visit Adelaide. Keep up the good work Graham. thank you Sandra and Kevin

Graham, our tour guide, was informative, interesting and attentive to the group's interests and questions. I have been to Adelaide many times over the past 25 years, but I still learned a lot about it's history, architecture and culture. Thank you Graham, really enjoyed your tour.

Super knowledgable host - Graeme Flanning will take you down North Terrace where you’ll find most historic buildings of which he can cite the how and when these buildings were all built. By who and then what these buildings were all used for over their time. Adelaide has a super interesting backstory with lots of integration to create the city we come to visit today. However, I found it sometimes difficult to keep up with all the information Graeme could offer. Maybe its just that I retain information better when read rather than heard or maybe there was simply too much to share in such a short time frame. I wouldn’t have minded taking the walk a little further through the city to see more, rather than hearing too much. I also wish I had been walked through the history of the land’s usage by the Indigenous custodians of the land, but I was informed that it was the Kuarna people, that took care of the land before explorers came to take it away. In my opinion, this information is just as important to share with those visiting as is how the city was drawn up and by who and then how it was named. On another note, not entirely relevant - I found it quite preposterous that we felt the need to create big shrines for people such as King Edward VII who never even visited Adelaide and yet we can hardly acknowledge the land for what it was before it was all settled into blocks of infrastructure. But that doesn’t speak for the tour itself. All up, I had a lovely afternoon with Graeme, I only wish I could have better been able to keep up and retain all the information he was able to offer.
