Very enjoyable. Katina is a knowledgeable guide & she makes the most of the city centre. The end stop was our downfall & an absolute pleasure. I forgot how interesting our city can be & the variety of cultures and tastes

There is no one word to sum up this tour, incredible, stunning and mesmerising just don't feel like they do this tour justice. From the minute Chris picked me up, it was incredible stop after another, from stunning views of a local beach I had to myself, through to the jaw dropping Flinders Chase National Park and onto the breath taking seal bay conservation area. Every aspect of this tour was 5 stars, there is not a single aspect I can fault, and it was simply one of the best tours and tour guides I've had in my life.

I’ve been to Adelaide Markets several times with family but had never done a food tour. I would highly recommend it. This company is now called Food Tours Australia. Our guide was very knowledgeable, very informative and managed to get us all around in the allotted time. We had a good amount of time to stock up as well. Wonderful!

Really enjoyed this tour (part funded by the govt voucher!). Rupert’s commentary was very well informed and entertaining in it’s delivery and Maddie did a great job in looking after us all with food and drinks. Appreciated the healthy and delicious lunch! Didn’t expect to see seals on the trip which was a nice surprise and just amazing to see the Coorong coastline and the Murray mouth up close and great to get out and stretch the legs half way and learn a bit about bush tucker.
