Great way to see the city of Darwin when you have limited time to explore. A short walk from the cruise terminal, hop on the bus prices are reasonable then you are off.

The driver was especially attentive and informative adding his own personal touch. A great way to see the sites of Darwin when you don't have a lot of time!

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.
