Adelaide City Tour
The gorgeous South Australian city of Adelaide is definitely one of Australia’s most enchanting destinations. Its stunning churches and cathedrals tower over quaint homes and charming sandstone cottages, extensive emerald green gardens and beautiful natural greenbelts, giving the entire Adelaide area an old-world atmosphere. Despite this atmosphere, Adelaide is certainly not behind in the times; the city is buzzing with a contemporary vibe, hosts many renowned festivals and events and is known as the food and wine capital of Australia.
During your Adelaide City Tour, you will be introduced to the very best of features within this beautiful city, beginning with Victoria Square and Gouger Street’s amazing restaurants. Next, the terraces, greenbelts and parks, churches and cathedrals will leave you in awe and give you a taste of what Adelaide City is all about. Beehive Corner at Rundle Mall will introduce you to some of Adelaide’s finest historical buildings and North Adelaide will delight you with its beauty.
Walking alongside the cool waters of the River Torrens, you will see some of the picturesque garden banks that line the waterway, while at Colonel Light's lookout, you will see amazing, sweeping views over Adelaide and further afield. Afterwards, you will visit St Peters Cathedral – Australia’s own version of the famous Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris, France.
The refurbished Adelaide Oval and the charming Botanic Gardens will give you a dose of nature’s beauty before a winning conclusion to your tour – indulging yourself with some of Australia’s most delectable chocolates, tea and coffee at the infamous Haigh's Chocolates (Haigh’s Chocolates visit is available every day except for Sundays).
