Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Perfect day with Graeme touring Adelaide Hills and Handorf. Great local and historical knowledge. Professional, friendly and well orginised. Couldn't have asked for more. (Also a great rainy day option).

Excellent start to our stay in Adelaide, did a Cultural Caper with Down to Earth Tours. Entertaining and very informative trip through the Festival City’s early days. Great way to get a feel for the city.

Just enjoyed a great Cultural Caper tour with Graeme.
Very interesting and informative tour, just the right amount of information.
We never felt rushed at any stage. Graeme remembered where we came from and gave information which he then related back to our home town.
Thanks Graeme for a great tour!

Well run and enjoyable informative tour, full of history, culture, facts and interest. Graeme is welcoming, professional and very knowledgeable.
The tour concentrates on North Terrace and a good starting point on arrival to the city to learn all about its beginning. Visiting the various buildings over the next few days made it more enjoyable.
Would highly recommend this tour.

Loved learning about Adelaide from Graeme - he is an outstanding guide who showed us a part of the city we might have missed ! He is very accommodating and helpful too - I only wish we had more time in the city to take another one of his tours !

I did the "Cultural Capers" tour which was excellent. There was so much to see and learn within the space of just a few blocks along North Terrace. Graeme was extremely knowledgeable about Adelaide’s history. I thought the tour was very good value for money. It was advertised as being 2 hours duration, but went for a good 2.5 hours . As a solo traveller, I was also pleased that Graeme was prepared to run the tour for just one person.

I had a great time exploring the west side of North Adelaide. Graeme is very friendly and knowledgeable. I cannot recommend this tour enough, and I'll soon go on the other tours that Graeme offers in town.

Graeme's tours are first class. Each one is thoroughly researched and Graeme's extensive knowledge of Adelaide adds huge value to the experience. This combined with Graeme's relaxed style and generosity when it comes to time and content make the tours a 'must do'. I am an Adelaide local but always learn new things about our unique city on these high quality, affordable tours.

Graeme talked and walked us through a relatively small area of Adelaide and explained some of the history as it relates to a variety of early settlers and other famous people. Including for example Matthew Flinders and a few of the Governors General.
