Staying in Adelaide for the TDU we booked this tour for a change from the cycling. Port Adelaide was a bit of a mystery to us but Katina’s extensive tour provided us a great insight into the port as it was and is now. Her knowledgeable explanation of the history and land marks was peppered with great stories of the people and events in the port’s history. We thoroughly enjoyed the 2 1/2 hours which represented great value for money. Highly recommended!

We were fortunate to have Kat all to ourselves on this Port Adelaide Walking Tour on a pleasant winter’s afternoon last week The pace was relaxed and unhurried, and Kat has an excellent knowledge of this part of Adelaide with its many historic buildings, which she imparts with many interesting anecdotes about early residents and businesses.
We thought it was good too to have a couple of short breaks along the way, one at an historic hotel and one at a long-established bakery.
A very enjoyable afternoon tour that we’re happy to recommend.

My husband and I love walking tours and this one of Port Adelaide with Katina was an excellent one. Katina is a great guide, she's articulate and passionate about the area, she gives a great overview of the interesting history, highlights and future plans for the area. We loved the local insights and treats and came away with a greater understanding and appreciation of the Port area. We hope more people take this wonderful tour, you won't regret it!

Do yourself a favour and take advantage of this walking tour if you can.
A very different way to see and understand the history of the early settlers to Adelaide. Not to mention seeing a different part of South Australia, which we would probably not have visited without an informative guided tour.
The buildings and architecture as years progressed, having a stop at the British Pub for an ale or similar in the Cellar, and the stories from their past makes this tour of Port Adelaide a worthwhile experience.
Thanks Katina for squeezing us in on our weekend stopover in Adelaide.
We enjoyed meeting you and partaking of all 4 tours you and your company had on offer for us.
