Beautiful historic homes and lush greenery in Adelaide - 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 - 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

Great Insight - Enjoyed a great 2 hours with Graeme matching stories to buildings I had only driven past and wondered about before. This tour was absolutely enjoyable and informing. Not a trek but a walk through the early history of Adelaide. Will be booking another of his tours.

Great tour - It was very informative and easy to walk around. We are very happy that we did it, as we would have missed all of these great homes and their history. Highly recommended.

Friendly and informative - Graeme was waiting for us with a friendly smile and a welcoming 'hello' for our four-year-old grandson. The tour was just the right length, full of information, and just what we needed to get in-depth yet light-hearted insight into the various buildings and homes on the tour. Highly recommend Graeme's tour.
