    Excellent tour, three hours went so quickly and learnt so many details about the history, art, music, culture, architecture and modern Adelaide. Our guide Katina was a walking encyclopaedia. Thanks

    Response from Host, Dec 2025

    Flamboyant Tours - top notch experience

    David_B, Jun 2023
    While walking through the Adelaide CBD with our tour guide Katina, it was clear that there was a passion to instil as much of the Adelaide experience through the history and stories and pack it into 2.5 hours. A few hidden surprises await. Well worth a look if you're at a loose end and have time to spare.

    Response from Host, Jul 2023

    Thanks so much David, I'm glad you enjoyed the hidden surprises and gained a lot from the experience! Take care :)

    Perfect walking tour
