Adelaide City Tour Including Adelaide Oval
Adelaide, Australia
Enjoy a warm welcome to Adelaide with a morning city sightseeing tour followed by an in-depth walk through the iconic Adelaide Oval. Your expert guide shows you the city’s heritage buildings, lush green space, modern architecture and vibrant culture while sharing the history of Australia’s fifth largest city. Visit top attractions like St Peter's Cathedral, Light’s Lookout, the North Terrace and Haigh’s Chocolates. Top it off with an insider’s tour of the Adelaide Oval to get a close look at the famous sporting venue.
Your day starts with morning pickup at your Adelaide hotel for a 3-hour city tour by comfortable coach. Motor through the heart of the city to take in Victoria Square and King William Street, an elegant boulevard with many of South Australia’s most important government buildings.
Cruise through lively districts such as Gouger Street and O’Connell Street, and enjoy a highlight for any chocolate lover: a visit to Haigh’s Chocolates. Sip a cup of complimentary tea or coffee accompanied by tastings of fine chocolates as you hear about the family-owned business, which opened a century ago in the historic Beehive Corner building on Rundle Mall.
Other sights you may see include the Terraces (South, East and West), Parliament House, the State Library of South Australia, Trinity Church, Hutt Street, St Peter’s Cathedral and the charming suburbs of North Adelaide. Get an overview of Adelaide from Light’s Vision, a lookout point named after the city's founding father, Colonel William Light.
From Light’s Vision you can spot your next destination: the Adelaide Oval, a renowned stadium for cricket and football. Your coach takes you to the River Torrens where you walk across a new footbridge to the recently renovated stadium. Inside, have time to purchase lunch and explore the Bradman Museum, which features a collection of cricket memorabilia donated by legendary batsman Sir Donald Bradman.
At the designated time, meet for a behind-the-scenes tour of the Oval with a knowledgeable guide who shares stories from the famous venue’s history. Get a close look at one of the cricket world’s most recognizable scoreboards and admire how heritage elements blend with modern updates in this world-class facility.
When your guided tour of the Oval ends, you are free to make your own way to your next destination. You might like to explore the nearby shops and restaurants of the River Bank Precinct or stroll through gorgeous parks near the stadium.
The city tour was okay - driver was knowledgeable and provided Adelaide background / history - spent too much time around hospital area and driving around in general - little time for photo opportunities.

Could not do the Adelaide oval tour because it was close to the cricket World Cup
