Beautiful historic homes and lush greenery in Adelaide

Helen_T, Sep 2024
We enjoyed seeing historic and grand houses as well as workers cottages. We heard about the stories behind their build and the life stories of those who funded the construction or lived in the homes. The tress, shrubs and plants along the way added to the beauty of the streets along the walking tour. We lived the experience!

Wonderful tour of North Adelaide

Karena_L, Sep 2020
Had a wonderful tour with Graeme, I was born and have lived in Adelaide all my life and did not know the history of some our beautiful buildings and homes, I especially liked the stories regarding the mansions and then to see where the workers lived with their families, such a contrast from the rich to the not so rich. I highly recommend this Tour, as I mentioned I am from Adelaide and had no idea about some of the details of our great City, so glad I learned more about my home Town

Response from Host, Sep 2020

Thanks so much for your kind review. Glad you enjoyed discovering more about our home city - it was my pleasure to host you both.
