Escape into the most serene and charming corner of the city of Adelaide on our Adelaide: East and South Terraces Walking Tour. Specifically tailored for history buffs and lovers of colonial architecture, this 2 hour stroll takes you through the beautiful, leafy streets of the south-east corner of Adelaide's CBD. Discover a world where grand colonial fortunes meet the quiet streets of a growing middle class.

The Mansions of East and South Terraces: Admire magnificent, wealthy heritage estates facing the sprawling eastern Parklands.

Leafy Halifax and Gilles Streets: Stroll past beautifully preserved middle class Victoriana villas and charming historic cottages.
