Cemetery Tours

An intriguing journey of discovery awaits you at West Terrace Cemetery. Follow one of the self-guided interpretive trails and explore South Australia’s rich history through the eyes of the people that helped shape it. Download the digital trail guide onto your mobile device using the QR Code just inside the cemetery entrance.

The trail map and coloured way-finding markers will help you navigate your way through the cemetery. Self-Guided tours can be undertaken 7 days a week within cemetery opening hours. We recommend at least one hour to complete the trail.

Delve into almost two centuries of real South Australian stories as our knowledgeable guides bring to life the many captivating and long forgotten tales of our State’s great leaders, pioneers, humanitarians and scallywags.

From the triumphant to the tragic, the society pages to the scandalous underbelly, and the surprising to the strange, there is something for everyone. There are a number of different guided walks to explore.

We are pleased to be bringing back our Guided Tours for SA History Festival in May – keep an eye on our Social Media for updates. 

We’re excited to be launching a new West Terrace Cemetery by Night tour in the later half of this year. Full of history and surprises, it’s an amazing and entertaining night out. Special light and sound effects combine with actors to bring to life stories full of achievement, humour, tragedy and intrigue. This is a whole new perspective on some of the colourful characters resting in this heritage listed cemetery.

Whether you’re organising a community group outing, a school excursion or looking for a unique team building exercise, Adelaide Cemetery Tours offer a range of tours and experiences to make your next event one to remember.

We offer day and night guided tours, as well as options for catering and refreshments to be served. With flexible menus and pricing to suit every budget.
