I really loved this tour with Graeme. Loved the historical detail and the folder of photos Graeme had to add to the context. Would highly recommend and next time we're in Adelaide, we'll definitely be booking another tour with Graeme.

Graeme was great. Very knowledgable about both his city and other goings-on in the South Pacific. Good mix of different architecture throughout the decades.
