Overview

Escape into the most serene and charming corner of the city of Adelaide on our Adelaide: East and South Terraces Walking Tour. Specifically tailored for history buffs and lovers of colonial architecture, this 2 hour stroll takes you through the beautiful, leafy streets of the south-east corner of Adelaide's CBD. Discover a world where grand colonial fortunes meet the quiet streets of a growing middle class.

Led by a locally born and bred Adelaide guide, you will wander past stunning heritage estates and quiet lanes, entirely forgetting that you are still within the heart of the city limits.

Highlights include:

The Mansions of East and South Terraces: Admire magnificent, wealthy heritage estates facing the sprawling eastern Parklands.

Leafy Halifax and Gilles Streets: Stroll past beautifully preserved middle class Victoriana villas and charming historic cottages.
