Shop where the chefs shop, and fastback yourself to become a local! Other things to note The Central Market is an indoor foodies heaven. Tours are accessible for everyone and we can cater for dietary requirements -please let us know on booking so that your experience is great.

On this walk we will see the imposing Parliament House, the oldest continually used Government House in Australia, and iconic memorials dedicated both to war and some of our noted citizens and influencers. This cultural tour also takes in the State Library, the old Destitute Asylum, the old Police Barracks, the Art Gallery of SA and the University of Adelaide and encapsulates the very best that the city has to offer. We start at Parliament House, which took 50 years to build before moving onto our first War Memorial erected in 1904 and the adjacent imposing Government House. A walk along North Terrace takes us past Prince Henry Gardens peppered with memorials dedicated to noted South Australians as well as an important early explorer, Matthew Flinders. The striking heritage architecture in Adelaide is notable, making a great contrast with the more contemporary modern buildings. Some of the older heritage style buildings date right back to the 1860's and have been well preserved for our viewing. We then pass by the iconic main War Memorial dedicated initially to the Great War and then visit the beautiful State Library of South Australia with its 1880's historic Mortlock Wing. A little visited area in behind North Terrace is the old Destitute Asylum and the old Mounted Police Barracks, which provoke many stories relating to crime, degradation and the human struggle to survive. Other things to note Easy paced 90 minute to 2 hour walking tours with the experience of a local guide. Starting and finishing points within reach of transport and cafes, shops etc. Wear comfortable clothing appropriate for the weather conditions as well as good walking shoes. Hats for warm days as well as water.

This is a small-group walk where you will gain more than just facts about monuments, going to intimate locations around the northern half of Adelaide's CBD. It's a mix of key monuments and little-frequented spots, all with great stories. You'll have a local understanding of how Adelaide became the city it is today, and how it’s still evolving! Other things to note I walk in rain, hail or shine - but will cancel 24 hours prior if the temperature forecast is 44 degrees Celsius or higher.

What is fritz? A Fruchoc? Frog cakes? Things that make any Adelaide local (including myself) proud. Take a walk with me to find out about these and other South Australian treats and where to purchase them, some being increasingly hard to find. As we walk through Adelaide, you'll learn about quirky culinary histories and how these foods have shaped a small but important part of Adelaide's identity (as well as mine!). You'll taste mostly sweet food as well as collect goodies to take away with you along the way, and leave feeling like a local. Other things to note: - This is not suitable for gluten free/vegans. Vegetarians will only skip the fritz sample of the tour. It is suited well to sweet-tooths :) - The Haigh's chocolate store we meet at is on Grenfell Street at the start of Adelaide Arcade, please do not get this confused with other Haigh's locations!
