Queen Adelaide, our city's German-born namesake, is already wishing everyone a merry Christmas in !

As the wife of King William IV, she continued the tradition of displaying a Christmas tree in Windsor Castle, which had been started by Queen Charlotte before her.

What do you love about Christmas trees? Do you have a special ornament that goes up every year?

Stuck on Christmas gift ideas? A Flamboyance Tours gift card will do the trick!

For anyone wanting to give their nearest and dearest something unique, they can have a fun, quirky and immersive day out around Adelaide with us! Giving the gift of an experience is so enriching, allowing someone the chance to discover a place with great insight. And we have two ways of doing it that gives you ultimate flexibility:

👉 Buy a set amount to be used towards any tour (we sell in denominations of $50, $100, $150 and $200) (see picture two), OR
👉 Buy a gift card specific to a particular tour. Say your parents are totally keen on the food tour The F Factor. You can go to the booking calendar (see picture three) and instead of choosing a date to book you simply 'Buy Gift Card'

So easy.

It comes to you as an e-voucher which you can then pass on. Printing it out and presenting it in a lovely card/envelope is all that needs to be done - or if you want to be eco-friendly, simply forward it via email. They can then redeem it for a date of their choice whenever they choose!

Our River Torrens is such a serene spot, and one way you can take in this area is on a Popeye boat.

The Popeye and Paddle Boats on the Torrens River takes you on a short trip as a way of sightseeing, but these days they also hold Devonshire tea cruises and gin tastings for special events!

For those of us who grew up in Adelaide, these bring back nostalgia as it was a rite of passage to get on a Popeye boat as a child 🥰

Do you have a Popeye memory?

Anyone remember these?

If one piece of clothing is symbolic of Adelaide, it's these pink polyester shorts, worn by Don Dunstan to Parliament House in 1972 during his time as South Australia's Premier. As the state's leader he wasn't afraid to turn heads, both with his fashion statements and policies. Knowing he would be seen by the media, and apparently against advice from advisers, he gladly posed for cameras.

It was hot that day and he wanted to make a statement. But it meant so much more at a time when Adelaide was seeing progressive policies reflecting an increasingly diverse population. What would follow included laws decriminalising homosexuality - the first in Australia.

Our Adelaide Q***r History Tour delves into those game-changing laws and how they came about. It's a self-guided audio tour taking you through the city for a q***r perspective on Adelaide's history.

Did you know we offer bespoke corporate tours to groups? We recently took this fantastic group from New Zealand around Adelaide's historic East End area as part of a day of activities!

We can tailor something to suit any group, and we think an Adelaide walking tour makes for a great addition to your team experience. This can be any time of the year, but now is the time to get in for CHRISTMAS - which is only A MONTH away! (Oh. My. Goodness.)

What makes a walking tour with us great for your group?
👉🏼 An easy, active way to get from point A to point B (for example from a morning excursion to end at a lunch location)
👉🏼 Packing in SO many facts to make the journey a fun, quirky and immersive experience
👉🏼 Getting interactive with the city's streets
👉🏼 Content that suits you - we can make the tour about whatever you like

November is known as Pridevember in Adelaide amongst the LGBTQIA+ community, thanks to the likes of Feast Festival which promotes q***r cinema, performance and all things inclusive.

I entered the Feast program in 2020 to launch our Adelaide Q***r History Tour, an audio tour that starts by detailing the story of Dr George Duncan. My latest blog is about this story, and how it led to national reform. Find the link in the comments!

Adelaide's reputation as a friendly, vibing city is something we're super proud of and we love showing this on city walking tours every day!

Our tour of the Adelaide Central Market gets up close and personal with some of the market's wonderful stallholders, including the amazing Valerie (left) from Smelly Cheese Co.

Riitta and Matti from Finland took a private Adelaide Central Market Tour experience with us, immersing themselves in learning about its history and what makes the market so special more than 150 years on.

We absolutely love seeing the instant connections made between visitors and stallholders - to us it's magical, and what travel is all about.

There's plenty of purple adorning Adelaide's streets right now as the beautiful jacaranda trees are in bloom for another year!

We have a video about these trees posted on the Flamboyance Tours YouTube channel, check it out through the link below.

A gold star goes to anyone who correctly comments where this photo was taken 😁

We recently had Amber from Downunder Travel in Canada come on an Adelaide Central Market Tour with us, and we couldn't help but share her awesome images!

There's always so much going on at the Adelaide Central Market and we love connecting travellers with stalls, the faces behind them and their stories!

Grateful and humbled to win SILVER in Cultural Tourism at the 2024 SA Tourism Awards! We congratulate gold winner (Adelaide Zoo) and all other winners and finalists... it was a great night and I was blessed to have my nearest and dearest with me.

Huge shoutout also goes to my fellow guide Andrea, who has made a huge impact with Flamboyance Tours this year and couldn't be at the awards. Together we continue to work sharing Adelaide and South Australia's cultural heritage, because we love our home and its stories.

Our Intimate Walk tour is something special. Adelaide Town Hall is one of many beautiful places we explore on this private tour, where olden grandeur meets with the modern day.

This is our premium private tour designed for couples or small groups. Our set route covers some of Adelaide's best-known sites while also taking in underrated gems of the city.

Visit our website for more information, and to book.

The Chihuly glass art exhibit at Adelaide Botanic Garden is simply awesome! Works are scattered around the gardens in a trail you can follow, with older works displayed as well as new pieces. There's a flamboyance going on with this that we just love!

We've been recommending this exhibit to our walkers, who have gone and then told us they loved it. It's here until April, so there's no excuse not to go and see some of the world's best glass sculpture!

Our Nature Festival Walk and Cruise with Port River Cruises was so much fun to host! Big thanks to our guests (pictured and not pictured) for joining us across two weekends of exploring!

A lot of people asked us how this ties into nature. For the walking component it's definitely about urban nature - explaining how the Port came to be a settlement from first being swamp country, as well as what exists of nature around the area today. But it's also about getting out and about on foot, exploring and wandering - which can be so naturally refreshing for the mind, body and soul! And on the water, the cruise allows a look at the natural habitats of the surrounding area and how dolphins and birdlife thrive!

Curious to know why the frog cake endures more than a century later as an iconic Adelaide food? I've written an overview of the Balfours frog cake on our blog which details all!

What makes a good storyteller? I think about this all the time because its the most important thing for a tour guide to consider. My response here is not complete given reels only have a 90-second window... but tell me, what do you want from a story being told to you? What makes you interested in a story? #flamboyancetours #walkadelaide #adelaide #southaustralia #adelaidewalkingtour #adelaideblogger #storytelling #story #opinion #storyteller #smallbusiness #tourism

We adore @haighschocolates (like any other South Australian), and love starting our food tour The F Factor at their @adelaidearcade location.

We would say spending a Friday at the @adelcentralmarket is the way to go - with three tours on Friday, these unique adventures kept us busy!

Walking with flamboyant feet

Hey there! If you’re reading this, you must be curious.

We like this trait in people. Flamboyance Tours is a company for the curious. We want travellers on our tours who want to really learn about the city of Adelaide.

You may know little about Adelaide or a lot, but either way, you’ll walk away with some new knowledge and the feeling you’ve been let in on a little secret. Because Adelaide’s that kind of place. People don’t know what to expect, but within the city centre there are a lot of stories to be told.

On a Flamboyance Tours walk, we walk with flamboyant feet. This is our way of saying tours can be fun, inspiring and interactive. It’s about being together with like-minded travellers to explore a new destination and feeling great.
