Adelaide: North Terrace Cultural Guided Walking Tour
Discover the captivating history of Adelaide on our popular North Terrace Cultural Guided Walking Tour. Specially designed for passionate history buffs and people looking for an easy-paced, accessible walking experience, this two hour journey brings South Australia's past to life.
We focus on the vibrant, real stories of the pioneers, leaders and working class characters who built our colony and eventual State. Led by a locally born and bred Adelaide tour guide, you will discover the hidden secrets behind the magnificent facades lining our famous cultural boulevard.
Our gentle amble down North Terrace stops outside of Adelaide's most iconic cultural institutions including:
The beautiful Mortlock Library - Step inside to admire this spectacular 1884 architecture treasure, widely ranked among the world's most beautiful libraries.
Former Old Police Barracks - Uncover the moving lesser known social history of South Australia's police force and accompanying justice systems.
Government House and Parliament House: Marvel at Australia's oldest continuously used Government House and hear how South Australia led the world in pioneer democratic reforms.
National War Memorial: View the symbolic reliefs and step inside to pay respects at the sacred World War 1 honour list.
University & Museum Precincts: Admire the striking Victorian and Gothic architecture that established Adelaide as a centre of early educational reforms.
