So much more than the photos I took.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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….

Would highly recommend.
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.
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.
Katina is a fantastic guide with a wealth of knowledge.
Take the time to enjoy the tour. Well worth it

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.
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
Ps: she is also very good with the street art ( see photo example)
