Itinerary:

Experience the pulsating heart of South Australia as Adelaide's culture, arts, food and wine draw you in on this tour through the city's highlights. Pin-pointing the centre of the city, the trip begins in Victoria Square. Jump on a local tram and head down to Rundle Mall - the famous chocolate frogs lovingly produced by Haigh's chocolate shop await.

 

Take your treats down to Beehive Corner and admire some of Adelaide's 19th Century architecture. Meet the resident bronze pigs - Truffles, Horatio, Oliver and Augusta, and admire Bert Flugelman's Sphere's - nicknamed 'The Malls Balls'. Hold onto the chocolate-fuelled sugar rush as the tour continues down to North Terrace, considered to be Adelaide's Cultural Boulevard.

Learn about the heritage of the city as we pass the University of Adelaide, the Art Gallery of South Australia and Parliament House.

 

Step inside the South Australian Museum, where the world's largest collection of Aboriginal artifacts is on display. Meander through tranquil Elder Park, where the shores of Torrens Lake provide the perfect backdrop for a relaxing stroll. End this elegant Adelaide affair with a jaunt to the Adelaide Central Markets, before winding down and refueling at 'Eat Street' - Adelaide's Gouger Street.

Your trip:

For your Urban Adventure you will be in a small group of a maximum of 12 people.

Tipping:

If you are happy with the services provided by your local guides and drivers a tip - though not compulsory - is appropriate. While it may not be customary to you, it is of great significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels, inspires excellent service, and is an entrenched feature of the tourism industry across many Intrepid Urban Adventures destinations. Please consider this when budgeting for your extra expenses on this tour.
