What to expect
You'll move through Adelaide's streets following GPS-guided routes and Dave's recorded commentary, which contextualises landmarks and shares overlooked stories. The tour adapts to your speed—pause to sit in a park, duck into a wine bar, or skip ahead if something doesn't grip you. Expect a mix of grand civic buildings, residential streetscapes, and explanations of how a planned city differs from organic sprawl. By the end, you'll see Adelaide's grid not as abstract geometry but as a deliberate act of vision, and understand why wine became central to the region's identity.
