Top July Tours
Roof Climb Adelaide Oval Experience
Skip a pedestrian visit to the Adelaide Oval—one of the region’s most recognized landmarks—for an excursion to the roof with unique city views. After a safety briefing and climbing into your suit and harness, follow your guide across a link bridge to an open viewing deck. From there, have the chance to walk a lean-out point 164 feet (50 meters) above the Oval’s cricket field.
Cultural Caper Adelaide Walking Tour
This leisurely small-group walking tour explores the North Terrace area of Adelaide. Filled with cultural institutions and other public buildings, this mile-long avenue also boasts many historical buildings, including an 1838 church, the colonial-era Ayers House, and the Adelaide Casino in a restored 1920s railway station. Tour highlights include Parliament House, Adelaide University, the War Memorial, and more.
