Not knowing too much about the ins and outs of Darwin we decided to go with the hop on hop off experience. We learnt so much about Darwin's history that we now know what to do and see for our remainder of our stay. It was money very well spent

HOHO was great in Darwin. On time, friendly safe drivers and 48 hour ticket plus two excellent inclusions was great value.

A great tour, but why did the App refer only to Sydney when I was in Darwin? Surely it should include the city you booked in!
