We went on a tour with Katina today and had such a lovely time. She was fabulous, and you could tell she really loves showcasing Adelaide. She was informative with lots of tips for how to best see the city. Highly recommend. She also has great taste in natas! Iykyk!

We have been traveling for 45 days and the Flamboyance walking tour in Adelaide was by far the best. Katina knows all about Adelaide and shares the history, architecture, and anecdotes to make it come alive. She was also sensitive to mobility issues and kept us in the shade to minimize the heat. She kept us thoroughly engaged and entertained for over 3 hours. She showed us the wonderful museums here and told us about restaurants and shopping we would not have known about. What a joy to spend time with her. We really can’t say enough about this splendid tour. She showed us what a cool and appealing city Adelaide is. If you are visiting Adelaide, please book with Flamboyance for your first day to enhance all the rest of your time here.

A must when you visit Adelaide is to join a walking tour of Adelaide with Flamboyance Tours.
Our walking tour of “Paint and Palate Street Art” within Adelaide CBD was an absolute highlight! Our party of four had a wonderful time exploring the city with such an excellent host - Katina. She was incredibly knowledgeable on the street art, especially “Jimmy C”. Sharing fascinating insights to the street art in laneways. We also loved the thoughtful small treats provided along the way. Despite it being a warm day, Katina was very considerate of the heat, ensuring we stayed in the shade and moved at a comfortable pace. A perfect, well-paced experience that I can’t recommend highly enough!
When visiting Adelaide again will definitely include another walking tour with Flamboyance Tours.

Kat's food and wine tour of Adelaide was amazing. She has complete mastery of her craft. The two hour tour was efficient and to the point, we covered not only food and wine in Adelaide, but also history and her personal experiences as a native of the City. An amazing person doing an amazing job, Kat opened our eyes to all that Adelaide has to offer in a short amount of time. I would recommend doing this tour as soon as you arrive. Upon ending the tour, we had a clear grasp of the City and dinner reservations (that we absolutely adored) for the remainder of our stay... we were ready to explore Adelaide with confidence.

Ollie was fantastic and so knowledgeable about everything historical, rumoured and interesting. Plenty of fun facts! Walking pace was perfect and the places he chose to pinpoint were always from a perfect vantage point- great for photos. I’d definitely recommend this tour!

We enjoyed an excellent and informative 3 hour tour of Adelaide with our guide Andrea. The tour covered a lot of the history of Adelaide and we saw many of the key buildings of the city. Andrea provided us with lots of information and anecdotes about Adelaide and the three hours absolutely flew by! I’d recommend this tour to anyone visiting Adelaide for the first time!!

Olly was a great tour guide, very informative and we learnt lots about the CBD. Was an excellent and fun way to start our mini stay in Adelaide
So much more than the photos I took.

A wonderful, heartfelt taste of Adelaide

We had the most delightful foodie tour this morning with Katina from Flamboyance Tours. From the moment we met her, she was warm, welcoming and full of genuine enthusiasm for her city and its food culture.

Katina is a natural storyteller — she generously shared personal memories, family traditions and fascinating stories about Adelaide’s food scene through the decades. It felt less like a tour and more like being guided by a proud local friend who loves to feed you. The many little treats along the way were thoughtful and delicious, and each stop revealed another layer of Adelaide’s culinary heritage.

Her passion for local producers, history and community really shines through. It is no surprise her company has won a star in the Culture category of the SA Tourism Awards — she absolutely deserves it.

If you’re visiting Adelaide and love food, culture and authentic experiences, do not miss this tour. Highly recommended!

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Katina, who took us on an amazing walking tour around the Adelaide CBD and the Central Market. From start to finish, she was incredibly knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and professional, bringing the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems to life in such an engaging way.

Her passion for Adelaide was infectious — she shared fascinating stories, local insights, and food recommendations that really made us feel like we were exploring the city with a friend who knows all its secrets. The Central Market tour was a particular highlight; Katina’s connections with local stallholders and her deep knowledge of South Australia’s food scene made it a truly memorable and delicious experience.

We can’t recommend Katina’s tours highly enough — fun, informative, and full of personality. If you want to see Adelaide through the eyes of a true local expert, this is the tour to book!

Katina runs a very professional guided walk. It was an energetic three hours while never seeming rushed. Katina has certainly studied her subject - her home town, Adelaide - which adds authority to her enthusiastic presentation. Thoroughly enjoyable and set us up for our 4 days in charming Adelaide

Extremely informative walk around the city visiting many sites and learning about the history behind special icons as well as the early white settlement of Adelaide and the first indigenous people of the area.
Diana was a wonderful guide. From listening to her I got a good understanding of local city neighbourhoods which I got to further explore later.

What a great tour. Even though I lived in SA for most of my life, my guide Katina showed me buildings that I didn’t even know were in Adelaide.
She is a wealth of knowledge about our history & very up to date with what is going on now.
Thoroughly enjoyed my 3 hour walk around beautiful Adelaide. Would recommend Flamboyance Tours to visitors and locals.
Thanks Katina.

We contacted Katina and asked if she could run a special Icons of Adelaide tour for us as we only had a Saturday available and she doesn't usually run them on Saturdays. Fantastic tour for our family group - her depth of knowledge is extensive and her story telling intriguing and captivating. We loved it - do yourselves a favour whether local or visitor and book on a tour ! Thank you Katina - great tour

I visited the beautiful city of Adelaide in May, early fall, as all the leaves were turning colors. It really is the City of Festivals and Arts. The month long History Festival, and the 10 day Taste of Australia Event were both happening at the time of my visit.

I wanted the perspective of a local guide so I found a well reviewed (and woman led) company called Flamboyance Tours. 👍

The F Factor: This 1st tour was a short visit to the shopping district to taste the famous Haigh's chocolates and we were introduced to the early ornate shopping arcades still gracing this city. We then went on to a substantial tour of the delicious goodies at the bustling local Central Market which was full of local produce. Andrea, our guide did a very good job on the histories of the local merchants and she also introduced us to many delicacies!

Iconic Adelaide Tour: The 2nd tour was led by the owner Katina, who has a journalism background and has trained in Europe on tour guiding. She was super knowledgeable and was able to provide deep details when asked. The tour starts with some of the earliest structures in Adelaide, namely the Mounted Police barracks and Armoury established in 1838. What mostly amazed me was how many women were prominent in governing, social services and academic roles in Adelaide. Their statues are all along North Terrace and are there as proof. I LIKE this city ! A most welcoming place for ALL….

Walking tour with Andrea today was awesome. Andrea was an excellent guide with a great knowledge of Adelaide and gave us an interesting 90 minute tour of the city centre. Very worthwhile to get our bearings and get some history of the city.
Would highly recommend.

This is a great tour. Our guide, Katina is very knowledgeable of everything to do with Adelaide, from the history, the sites, the street art, how to get around and where to have dinner. Her enthusiasm made the tour a lot of fun. I have no hesitation recommending the tour.

What a great way to see & learn about the unique Pt Adelaide area! Katina's tour was fun & fascinating. She's friendly, has an infectious enthusiasm & really knows her stuff! A thoroughly enjoyable walk (the beer & cheesecake were pretty nice too!), thanks Katina :)

My partner and I did the Port Adelaide walking tour with Katina and was absolutely amazing! Katina was super knowledgeable, showed us some amazing parts of Port Adelaide. Would highly recommend using Flamboyance Tours and giving the Port Adelaide tour a go

We did the F Factor walking tour today as part of a cruise ship shore excursion. Katina was there to meet everyone on time and introduced herself. The tour was excellent, Katina was awesome and informative. The tour lived up to expectations with lots of samples tried and tasted. Would thoroughly recommend this tour. Peter and Kandy, Sydney Australia.

Fantastic. Highly Recommended. What a wonderful walking tour of Port Adelaide this was, with far less actual walking for a walking tour than we had expected. Kat’s knowledge of the area was fantastic. She was able to relate lots of little Gems. The tour oozed history that Kat had taken the time to delve deeply to find. Kat is a wonderful tour guide, and certainly knew how to find the bits of history that we would find most interesting.

We had a great walking foodie tour of Adelaide. Our guide Kat was passionate and knowledgeable about the history of South Australian produce and its successful brands. Tasty treats along the way topped it off.

Andrea was an amazing local guide, her knowledge and expertise was evident and really enjoyed the tour. She was patient when I had an event which caused me to arrive late for our tour, and just gave me a brief overview of where they were up to and carried on with the tour. And I love how she shared her own family history with us. Adorable! Thanks Andrea!

We really enjoyed hearing historic stories and learning about the food culture of SA! Kat was such a great guide and gave us a great experience as well as full bags of goodies. Highly recommend you book a tour on your visit to Adelaide.

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 had a great experience with Katina. Her passion and enthusiasm for Adelaide and its food really shone. Lots of yummy treats on the way a very enjoyable way to learn more about our favourite city to visit.

Lovely, relaxed walking tour with Katina in nice small group.
Katina provided the tour of Adelaide’s history, sights and culture in an interesting and informative way.
Accessible friendly tour, we had our 9 month old in a pram and had no issues.

Katina was wonderful! The food was authentic to growing up in Adelaide and you felt like a local by the end of the day. Would highly recommend

Had a great 2hour walking tour with Kat yesterday. We learnt some great facts about Adelaide her knowledge was excellent and the spots worth visiting. The tour ended at the Markets and on her recommendation the Portuguese tart was the best. After a drink we had dinner at a restaurant in China Town another recommendations of Kats. Highly recommend this walking tour to really see about the city.

Adelaide Walking Tour
Fun Introduction to Adelaide
What a fun and informative walk with Katina around Adelaide’s Central Business District. This is a must-do tour for newbies to the city and probably even for long-time residents. Katina is a local (born and raised). She exudes energy and passion for her beautiful city of Adelaide. I learned a lot about the city’s history, architecture, and controversies during the ninety-plus minute amble from Rundle Mall and alleyways to peek at local Street Art. This was an excellent tour and is highly recommended.

Great way to discover Adelaide.
Katina is a fantastic guide with a wealth of knowledge.
Take the time to enjoy the tour. Well worth it
????

Host: Wonderful, enthusiastic, passionate about her city, knowledgable and full of energy.
Tour: 3hrs, did not feel that long, though remember decent walking shoes and a bottle of water. There were many stops along the way while Katina was giving us info on the various sites. For what we thought was a small area, there was definitely 3hrs worth of things to see and find good info on. And there are some absolute gems there. Who would have thought a library would evoke a sense of interest.
Katina has a good clear speaking voice and her passion and pride in the city and what it has to offer shows through.
Adelaide, you have a good ambassador.

Fabulous art tour by foot. Good walking on a fine day enjoying Adelaide city. Our guide showed us street art present and photos of removed art. Our guide was engaging, informative, passionate and funny. We, enjoyed a lovely afternoon with her, straight after the Art Museum. We were so in the zone. Highly recommended!

We had a great tour with Katina, she had a great knowledge of Adelaide and was able to convey this to a very ‘knowledgeable’ 77 year old and also to my son (who is 5) - she kept us engaged throughout the whole tour. I would definitely recommend if you want to get to know Adelaide a bit more.

This tour was a great introduction to Adelaide.

We ended up on this tour by chance as we were keen to do a walking tour and had another one cancelled. I am so glad we did!

The tour gives a brief overview of the main sites in the city centre (on the South of the river only).

Kat our guide is an Adelaide native and has a real passion for the local history and culture and this really shines through when she is showing you around.

Kat was very knowledgable and full of recommendations and tips for you to further explore the city in your own time. We followed up on most of Kat’s suggestions and none of them disappointed.

I thoroughly recommend Flamboyance tours to anyone and everyone.

10/10

Really enjoyed our walking tour of Adelaide with Katina. It gave us a great introduction to the city with lots of points of interest and anecdotes along with a bit of history. Katina has a very broad knowledge of the city and her passion for Adelaide shines through. Definitely a good starting point for anyone visiting and a very enjoyable, not too taxing 90 minutes.

Katina was warm, engaging, funny and shared her inspiring passion for the history and beauty of the port. It was a lovely afternoon walk around Port Adelaide covering topics like historical fires, how the land was reclaimed, various industries in the area, street art, and more. There were also a few tasty delights on the way! A great day!

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!

I took Katina’s food tour and it is a MUST-DO for anyone visiting Adelaide! She has thoughtfully designed a tour that showcases many of Adelaide’s local foods and family businesses. Katina has an engaging storytelling style, often weaving in her own personal connections to the places we visited. The best thing about the tour is all of the food you get to try along the way! I highly recommend!

We were very fortunate to have participated in the F Tour around the Adelaide CBD yesterday, with Katina. Katina is an exuberant, professional and very knowledgeable tour guide. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend it to others. Thanks Katina!

Kat is able to make a tour relaxing, chill, fun, and informative! I would have never learned what she taught had I walked around Adelaide aimlessly on my own. She is a young historian and I enjoyed taking in every bit of information she provided. Your mind will explode with Australian history and culture!

I had a wonderful experience touring with Flamboyance Tours on the F Factor. Katina is one of the best guides I've ever had on a tour. She is knowledgeable and passionate about local foods of Adelaide and South Australia and shares her personal experience of growing up in the food culture of the city. The food selections were incredible and delicious.

Katina is a hoot! Knows the city inside and out. Extremely knowledgeable and a great communicator. A must if visiting Adelaide for the first time.

Excellent tour. Informative and interesting. Katina, the tour guide is professional, friendly, energetic and knowledgeable. It was a perfect fit for us as we have been to Adelaide a few times in the past as a stopover but never explored the city itself. Katina’s introduction was very helpful to get a good perspective of the history, culture and way of life. Highly recommend.
Ps: she is also very good with the street art ( see photo example)

A wonderful tour to be introduced to some of the historic South Australian businesses and amazing produce that is on offer in the heart of Adelaide. Katina is a passionate, effervescent tour guide that imparted lots of fun facts and shared some personal memories of some of the places we visited. As a visitor to Adelaide I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know some of the businesss in the CBD and the iconic Adelaide Central market. Highly recommend.
