When you want to learn about a city, go with the local who can uncover the hidden secrets.

This 5 day ‘In Style’ tour showcases the flavor of South Australia – from the stylish and elegant Adelaide, to the cultural and historical significance of the Outback, while traveling with your Aboriginal guide in a small group tour.

Arrive into Adelaide and transfer you to your historic cottage at the exquisitely furnished Buxton Manor. Buxton Manor, an Arts and Crafts Mansion, owned for many years by Sir Josiah Symon, a respected South Australia jurist, parliamentarian and one of the Fathers of the Australian Constitution. Relax in the fragrant rose garden, or journey into North Adelaide for a meander through the city. A free connector bus will get you into Adelaide for shopping, dining and entertainment.

Escape to the spectacular Flinders Ranges for a unique Aboriginal cultural experience. Join your Aboriginal guide on a trip into his traditional homeland area of the Flinders Ranges and share a cultural experience 40,000 years in the making. Listen to Adnyamathanha Creation stories at traditional significant sites and see ancient paintings and engravings. Learn about the history of the area in the beautiful Ranges landscape with rugged mountains, scenic gorges, ruins of early settlement and abundant wildlife.

Your chauffeured 4WD tour is an all inclusive package with everything catered for - deluxe accommodation, meals, entry fees, tours to significant sites and the sharing of extensive knowledge, interpretations of the land and Aboriginal cultural stories from your Aboriginal tour guide.
