5.00Best way to see Darwin and the locations of the main sites to get a feel for the area, definitely a must do and very reasonable for the information provided, distance covered and the ability to get on and off at specific sites of interest. The driver was excellent providing a background to the real Darwin history as well as an overview of the main sites and key information about the site. Plan to do a full round trip first up to see where sites are located with respect to your accommodation then visit those furtherest away first. Additional note: Darwin public buses are free so check the bus number and route as they are worthwhile to go to and from some of the more popular sites however keep in mind that the only way truly get the most out of a trip that may be limited in time in the Darwin City Explorer Tour.

5.00Very informative and interesting trip- our guide Ian was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of time to explore each of the venues visited. The small group enabled us to get to know our fellow travellers
Quite poor

2.00I was quite disappointed. Our driver Karen was thoroughly jaded. Yes we were picked up on time and that was fine. The reality is that we actually had the experience of a hop on and hop off bus. At every destination, Karen pulled in and then sat gave us a departure time whilst staying in the bus on her backside. Every destination except one was free so the free entrance element was slightly misleading. I did feel it was expensive for what we got.
City tour but not exactly what we expected. Th females would have like to visit a shopping centre not were we taken.

3.00Not a bad trip but didn’t suit our expectations. The driver was very informative about what we wasn’t very interested in.
