    Friendly and fun foodie experience

    We really enjoyed our Adelaide Food Odyssey walking tour with Radelaide Tours. From the outset, organisation and communication were excellent, and everything ran smoothly on the day. I also appreciated that this is a genuinely local business which added a personal touch to the whole experience. Our group of five family members ranged in age from 23 to 81, and the tour catered comfortably to all of us. Although it is a walking tour, the amount of walking was very manageable (our 81 year-old mother had no difficulty at all). The pace was relaxed, never strenuous, and made smart use of the free tram for the longer section of the route — keeping things easy for everyone while also giving us familiarity with using Adelaide’s tram system (helpful for the remainder of our stay in Adelaide). Dax, our guide, was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about Adelaide, its food culture, and the local tourism industry. We learnt a huge amount about the city — its history, culture, and plenty of interesting facts. He was happy to chat about a wide range of topics and made the experience feel personal, engaging, and fun. We visited a number of local gems that we simply wouldn’t have found on our own, with a focus on locally owned and operated businesses that have a long and strong history in Adelaide. The food selection was excellent, with a mix of savoury options, sweet treats, and snacks to take away with us. A couple of standouts for us were the Dumplings and the Portuguese Tarts. It was also a nice touch to finish the tour at a coffee shop near the Central markets where we could linger or go back to explore the Central Markets further. Overall, this was a wonderful tour that showcased Adelaide’s food scene in a friendly, fun and relaxed way. It exceeded expectations and I’d highly recommended it.

    Response from the operator: Hi Leonie, Thank you so much for such a detailed and wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the Adelaide Food Odyssey and came away with a greater appreciation for Adelaide’s food scene, history and culture. It sounds like you discovered exactly what we love about this Adelaide food tour — locally owned businesses, hidden foodie gems and plenty of delicious food along the way! We’re especially happy to hear the dumplings and Portuguese tarts were standouts. 😋 One of the things that makes the Adelaide Food Odyssey special is that it’s about much more than just eating. As you explore the city, our local guide shares stories about Adelaide’s history, culture, characters and food scene, helping you discover places you might easily walk straight past on your own. We’re also glad you enjoyed finishing near the Adelaide Central Market. It’s a great spot to continue exploring Adelaide’s incredible food culture after the tour. Thanks again for recommending the Adelaide Food Odyssey and Radelaide Tours. We’d love to welcome you back for another Adelaide food tour and help you discover even more of the city’s great food, stories and hidden gems! Kind regards, Dax Radelaide Tours.

    Lovely time.

    Had a great time. Dax was very professional and personable. We both enjoyed the tour and Dax took us to some great nooks and crannies of Adelaide. Appreciated the frog cake!

    Response from the operator: Hi Hugh, It was a pleasure to show you and your wife around Adelaide on our Food Odyssey Tour. Am super happy to hear you enjoyed the day and that the frog cake was appreciated as an extra little South Australian Birthday treat!! Hope to see you back on another Radelaide Tour in the future. Kind regards, Dax Radelaide Tours

    Great way to feed your head and belly!

    I was told I would be the only person on the tour. Other tours would cancel but Dax said he would go ahead (other tour operators, take note!). A local, Dax was incredibly well versed in the history of Adelaide and his love for the city showed. I was well stuffed by the end from Korean dumplings to vegan Greek ( you wouldn’t know) to wine samples, desserts and coffee while exploring for two and a half hours. Highly recommended.

    Response from the operator: Hi James, We always do our best to accommodate solo travellers so we are so glad to hear you appreciated us running the tour for you. It was a pleasure to share our love of Adelaide with you and am chuffed to hear you enjoyed the tour. We hope you enjoy the Fringe Festival and we will see you back in Adelaide when you bring a Broadway show (maybe Operation Mincemeat) to our beautiful city. Kind regards, Team Radelaide Toues.

    Adelaide Food Odyssey Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Adelaide.

    How much does Adelaide Food Odyssey Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $114 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Adelaide usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Adelaide Food Odyssey Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Adelaide is not rushed.

    Is Adelaide Food Odyssey Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Adelaide, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Adelaide Food Odyssey Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Adelaide Food Odyssey Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Adelaide Food Odyssey Tour?

    +

    Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Adelaide can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Adelaide and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Adelaide Food Odyssey Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Adelaide within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Adelaide?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Adelaide experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Adelaide Highlights, Hahndorf & McLaren Vale Wine Tasting and Sightseeing Tour, Premium Barossa Small Group Tour: Wine tasting, Lunch & Chocolate, Barossa Valley Hop-On Hop-Off Wine Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Adelaide?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Adelaide?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Adelaide Food Odyssey Tour?

    +

    Included: Donation to local charity; Meals; Local Guide; Tea and coffee; and Alcoholic beverages. Not included: Bottled water. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Adelaide Food Odyssey Tour?

    +

    Meet your guide at the reception desk of the National Wine Centre in the Adelaide Botanic Gardens. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Adelaide Food Odyssey Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Adelaide Food Odyssey Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Adelaide Food Odyssey Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; Transportation options are wheelchair accessible; and All areas and surfaces are wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Adelaide Food Odyssey Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.

    What do travelers say about Adelaide Food Odyssey Tour?

    +

    Across 9 reviews averaging 5.0 out of 5, recurring themes include food and drink, the guide, knowledge and storytelling. The tastings and food stops are a highlight for most reviewers. One thing to know: Several reviewers comment on how the schedule is paced.
