Outstanding Tour - My wife and I had the great pleasure of having Dax as our tour guide for 12 wonderful days in Australia last year. He is very knowledgeable, a great communicator, passionate about his work and he has amazing interpersonal skills. What more could you ask for in someone leading your tour! We would highly recommend him and Radelaide Tours.

Fantastic Walking Tour. - We had a fantastic, knowledgeable & enjoyabke walkabout with Dax,
He is so informative & told us just about everything that there is to know about the locations we visited & the sights that we saw.
The sampler picnic was an added bonus aswell.
All in all, a great 3 hr’s of walking around the beautiful city of Adelaide & the surrounding parks, gardens & down beside the River & would definitely do it again & recommend to others.
Thanks Dax for a great afternoon & also for accomodating Danny’s bad knee, see you again next time we are in your neck of the woods.

Ultimate Adelaide. - Really interesting mix of sights and information on Adelaide and its history. You have an opportunity to experience a lot and you can actively interact and ask questions. He knows his stuff. Also had the delights of tasting unique South Australian snacks and drinks. We had a really great experience. Thank you. Looking forward to his street art tour.
