What to expect
The experience splits neatly: first, a two-hour stroll through Adelaide's core, where your guide unpacks the city's layered history and indigenous significance. You'll move at an easy pace, soaking in how the layout reflects Adelaide's design philosophy. Then it's down to the river for a leisurely cruise aboard a heritage boat, where the cityscape unfolds from the water. The landscape shifts as you drift past cultural institutions and green spaces. Most tours let you hop off near the zoo and gardens if you fancy a closer look.
