4.00The tour took us to all of the places we wanted to visit in Darwin. We had limited time but wished we could have stayed and experienced more of the museums. We thought there could have been an acknowledgement of country and statement that most of the information was regarding European history. Otherwise we'll worth the tour if you don't have a lot of time.
An awesome days experience

5.00I had a fantastic day. So much history to take in. Being a New Zealander I learnt a lot more. Would highly recommend this tour. Especially when you have limited time in Darwin.
Excellent Experience

5.00If you booking directly with the operator of the tour you can get more options for pickup. The driver was knowledgeable and very accommodating to everyone's needs. He made suggestions on what to see at each stop. He also was accommodating to those that needed dropped off when different from pickup. Good knowledge of history and various places of interest.
Enjoyable tour

5.00This was a fantastic tour! We had entry tickets to many great top spots of Darwin! These were places that helped us understand Darwin and the history of this Northern Territory region. We went to a museum that was great regarding the art and history of the Native Aboriginals, the flora/fauna of the region, and general history of modern day Darwin. The oil tunnels were very interesting, the bombing of Darwin was reviewed thoroughly at a couple of museums, and we took in some fabulous harbor views. The tour also included admission to and time to view the Aviation history museum. Our driver/guide was very informative and enthusiastic, and she made sure everyone had a good time. This is a great tour and we would highly recommend this!!
A great introduction to the city of Darwin

4.00The Darwin City Explorer Tour was great with an excellent driver/guide. She was very informative and helpful. We had just enough time to view the highlights of the WW2 Oil Tunnels, Darwin Museum & Art Gallery and the Aviation Museum, but needed more time at the Military Miseum to really do it justice. Being dropped off at Mindil Beach for the Sunset Markets was a bonus!
It was a bit long

3.00The lunch break was confused and not well planned. Stopped outside spots in bus too long. Not enough time in the museums.
A Short Taste!
