Detailed Description
A visit to Adelaide gives any traveller an authentic Australian experience, with amazing food, wine, wildlife, and coastline all at your fingertips. Port Adelaide, only 13 kilometres from Adelaide’s city centre, provides an alternative heritage experience to your South Australian escape.
Take a look on the Port side across 2.5 hours, delving into fascinating stories as you embrace the recognised State Heritage Area for its mix of colonial architecture, modern street art and all-round charm. Meet us at the Old Troubridge Loading Ramp, once the major ferry gateway of South Australia, before exploring the old and new across Port Adelaide.
Known by early settlers as Port Misery, you'll hear the stories that shaped this vital heritage place and understand how it functions today. If you join us in the afternoon, you’ll get a glimpse of the relaxed pub vibe as you sit for a drink and listen to tales of intriguing local characters. A morning tour will provide you with a coffee fix. It’s about appreciating Port life for what it is – laidback. A friendly community awaits here, and you’ll stop at a local business to get an understanding of what makes locals tick in the modern day.
Taking in monuments/areas including Hart’s Mill, Lipson Street, the former gaol cells and Port Adelaide Lighthouse, the Port Adelaide Walking Tour is perfect for those wanting in-depth knowledge from a local guide. It’s an ideal way to see a different side of Adelaide.
