A day with Neil will starts with a 9am pick up from your chosen Adelaide CBD location, or meet at Victoria Square where we discuss the first peoples in this area, significant buildings close by and why religion was so important to the first settlers and how Adelaide got its name. This will involve a little walking.
Then we take to the road in a luxury car to drive past some of the important places in Adelaide City which are considered a must for visitors to Adelaide, and, with a local’s view point, the best activities. Then we:
1. Visit some of the most expensive mansions in around Adelaide and it’s sounding area of Prospect, Medindie and Walkerville and hear the interesting stories behind them. go to the original RM Williams’ house & factory – now a South Australian icon clothing outlet and museum.
