Overview

A perfect, personalized introduction to Adelaide, with plenty of highlights and hidden treasures.

Adelaide has so much to offer, so close at hand. A vibrant city bursting with culture, flavors, and events, you’ll find yourself perusing local markets and admiring historic buildings, lush parklands, seaside villages, and sprawling botanic gardens.

Before discovering Adelaide, trace the coast past sleepy seaside villages to get your specialty coffee fix – with a view. Dine-in or do it like a local and take your latte for a beach walk in the vibrant, historic beachside suburb of Semaphore, known for its white-sand beaches, antique shops, and the oldest working carousel in the Southern Hemisphere or in Henley, an up-and-coming seaside town, popular with swimmers, paddlers, and fishermen. As you get back on the road to head into town, get to know your personable guide and share a few tastes and interests to help personalize your tour.

Your guide will show you around Adelaide's downtown, taking time to get oriented both geographically and historically. Then, wander the backstreets of central Adelaide and traipse the grand Cultural Boulevard of North Terrace with time to admire its architecture, local sites and plenty of street-art. Learn about local folklore and come to know the archetypes separating the East and West end of town. You'll hear about the local saints and sinners, innovators and creators who have shaped this unique Australian city.

You'll visit the bustling Central Market, a melting pot of culture overflowing with fresh produce, gourmet cheeses, patisseries, and big personalities. Hear about the stories of the oldest living culture in the world at the Tandanya National Aboriginal Cultural Institute, listen to the ancient songlines of this land, and browse the vibrant art installations.

Stretch your legs with a stroll over the Karra Wirra-Parri footbridge for panoramic views beyond the river. See ts towering redgum trees and the Festival Center, Adelaide's performing arts venue, with the city’s unique city skyline as the backdrop.
