Highlights
Discover Port Adelaide’s fascinating stories and relaxed pub vibe on this small-group walk. Known by early settlers as Port Misery, you’ll hear the stories that shaped this vital heritage place and understand how it functions today. See how beautiful architecture, intriguing tales and modern street art all give the Port its unique appeal, including a visit to a local business to see how new and old elements of the area seamlessly intertwine. You’ll also appreciate port life as the locals did – and still do – by visiting a pub for a refreshment included in your ticket price. Participants under 18 will receive a non-alcoholic drink, while adults have a choice of an alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverage. We’ll make sure you get the most out of the Port by sending you a recommendations list after your tour!

We take a look at Dock 2 from a distance, explaining the importance of maritime life along the Port River and the ships that were vital to the growth of settlement in the area's early days.
This is where we end the tour, and take a group photo that is sent to you via email after your experience. You can climb the tower at a small cost, but at the time of writing this is unavailable because of COVID restrictions.

About Adelaide
Adelaide is a relaxed, green capital of South Australia, laid out as a grid inside a ring of parkland, with wine country and beaches close by.
Colonel William Light planned Adelaide in 1837 as a tidy grid of streets and five squares, then circled it with the parklands that still separate the centre from the suburbs. North Terrace lines up the state library, art gallery, museum and university, and the Torrens River runs through the middle, with the Adelaide Oval on its bank. Rundle Mall and the Central Market cover shopping and food.
Top-ranked sights in Adelaide: Mt. Lofty, Kangaroo Island, Adelaide Oval.
