Adelaide's Secret Flavors: F Factor Foodie Expedition

I loved every part of this tour. Katina was so knowledgeable and friendly and it felt like I was chatting to an old friend about food. A must tour when in Adelaide.

We had the most delightful foodie tour this morning with Katina from Flamboyance Tours. From the moment we met her, she was warm, welcoming and full of genuine enthusiasm for her city and its food culture. Katina is a natural storyteller — she generously shared personal memories, family traditions and fascinating stories about Adelaide’s food scene through the decades. It felt less like a tour and more like being guided by a proud local friend who loves to feed you. The many little treats along the way were thoughtful and delicious, and each stop revealed another layer of Adelaide’s culinary heritage. Her passion for local producers, history and community really shines through. It is no surprise her company has won a star in the culture category of the SA Tourism awards— she absolutely deserves it. If you’re visiting Adelaide and love food, culture and authentic experiences, do not miss this tour. Highly recommended!

Awesome tour, we learnt lots about the local food industry in Adelaide and Katina is an amazing tour guide super knowledgeable! highly recommend this tour to anyone travelling to Adelaide with children is fun, educational and you get yummy goodies!

Great way to learn history of food in Adelaide. Plus get to try many different foods and take away goodies.

Our guide was friendly and enthusiastic. We loved the family ties she added into her food stories. Very generous amounts of food only criticism ( maybe bonus for others) was it was very sweet focused. Maybe a little nod to the rich Asian culture in Adelaide would break up the sweets. 😀 over all a great experience. Xx

Very interesting plus a lot of interesting food to sample. The tour director was very helpful, knowledgeable and made the tour very enjoyable.

Tour guide was very knowledgeable. Too many sweet items, more savoury items would have been nice. Definitely make time to stay at the end and enjoy the central market.

The (Fabulous) Flamingo Factor did not disappoint. From the very first stop, Katina, my host made it clear that this experience was more than just tasting products locally produced, it was about connecting food with local culture, history, and its people. Katina is knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about South Australia’s food and, its relevance historically to her city. Each stop was carefully curated with hidden gems and local favourites along with her early family memories of growing up Adelaide. Thoroughly enjoyed our tour together. Thank you Katina.

This was a fantastic way to explore the city’s food spots, hear the stories and history. I wouldn’t hesitate to say give it a go, you won’t regret it.

The tour was really great and Katina, our tour guide, introduced us to a lot of really great local foods that we wouldn't have found otherwise including a really great shepherds pie! It was a nice introduction to the city of Adelaide and its great food scene.
