The bus had no air conditioning or workable ventilation - it was absolutely stifling and unpleasant seated downstairs. The issue is that I can't get up the tight and steep stairs to the upper deck and this was the same for other passengers. I couldn't believe that there was no air ventilation, let alone air conditioning. Was that an excuse or just something that isn't actually on the buses. They need to be kept in serviceable condition for this hot, humid area of Darwin and surrounds. I also felt the bus could slow down around some of the 'historic' points, enabling pictures to be taken at least through the windows. The commentary was good and the route showed a newcomer the sights and orientation of what to go back and visit. The QR code for my ticket on my phone could not be scanned by the bus driver as they did not have the capability to scan - so I don't know why that would be included as part of the ticket. On the plus side, the driver dropped me closer to my hotel, given the heat and humidity - which saved me a walk from the bus stop and I greatly appreciated that.

The activity did not take place. I spent 2 hours at the bus stop waiting for your bus to arrive, and it never happened.

A good script was provided. By my 4th time around I had it pretty well under my belt. But I will need to go on probably two more circuits to get ready for the exam. The quality of the driving was of a high standard. Not so, some of the "jokes" in the script. I had to block my ears when I knew they were coming up. Overall a very high quality experience.

We boarded at the number one "hop on hop off" stop, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The trip and commentary were excellent . We did have a "panic" moment because your website said we must have a printed copy of the ticket and as we were staying at an Air BNB and booked on line we did not have access to a printer. Your website didn't mention we could get a printed ticket at the number one stop. Perhaps you could mention this can be done at that venue.

Tuickrt was quick and easy to arrange. The driver was most helpful and made the online ticket translate easily to a physical one. We stopped at the museum and were very impressed with the wildlife displays, the stories about the local aboriginal people and the terror of Cyclone Tracey. We also stopped at Crocosaurus Cove and thoroughly enjoyed the visit.

All aspects of the Hop On Hop Off was easy from booking to purchasing ticket at the Information pop up stand. Loved the commentating. We did the full circuit then stayed on and Hopped Off at our chosen stop. Loved everything about our experience for 1 day. Thankyou Darwin

We loved being able to learn about the history of Darwin. We had 3 hours spare and this filled in our time beautifully. Next time we will get off and explore each location
