What to expect
You'll follow a mapped route through central Adelaide, stopping at key sites while Dave's voice fills in the backstory—architectural decisions, historical twists, wine industry turning points. The narration is conversational rather than lecturing. You control the rhythm entirely: sprint through suburbs or spend an hour in one precinct if something grabs you. Maps and photos appear on your device alongside audio, keeping you oriented without constant screen-checking. This works best on a phone or tablet with decent battery.
Good to know
Bring a charged device and headphones or speaker. Public transport options nearby if you'd rather skip walking sections. The route is wheelchair-accessible. Allow 2–4 hours depending on how many stops you want. No private transport or accommodation included—you're navigating yourself.
