Ensure you take your hat on the harbour cruise. The tour of the military museum was very emotive so be prepared for that.

The whole tour is very interesting especially if you don't know much about the bombing of Darwin . The cruise helps you get a better perspective of how the bombing happened. The guide was very informative and very helpful. Very enjoyable.

Very informative and both our guides were extremely knowledgeable, great 1/2 day spent. Would recommend to anyone interested in knowing about the history of Darwin.

A morning well spent. Clear communication on pickup time and location, and pickup was precisely as scheduled. The information provided covered the establishment of Darwin, events in Darwin prior to World War 2, the thinking behind the military presence, and the various air raids. The stops on the tour complemented the information, and added to the experience. The guides engaged, entertained, and educated the guests, which is the benchmark for any tour.
