It made our day very easy. Bus was at Port when we disembarked our cruise. No waiting around. Drivers very helpful. Commentary very good

Gave a great overview of the City, and was easy to use to see major attractions. The staff were terrific and very helpful. The buses were of a high standard.

Was nice and easy, went straight to Crocosaurus Cove and collected my ticket, walked around and watched the big crocs being fed, jumped on a bus opposite the Cove entrance and went for a lap around Darwin. Jumped off a couple spots and had a beer or two and jumped back on to finish the tour back where I started. Great day

Ticketing was a bit of a pain. We had to restart the ticketing, 3 times. I wish we'd realized that we could buy tickets there. Also the stop with the casino/gardens is really spread out. Would be nicer to have a couple of drop zones along there.

This was a great way to learn about the history of Darwin and an easy way to travel between locations. Highly recommend this experience. The only downside was that we bought the ticket with the extra admission to Crocosaurus and the RFDS/ Darwin bombing museum. The RFDS was fabulous but we were not advised that Crocosaurus was being renovated. About half of the place was closed to the public. It was a very disappointing experience.
