It was our first visit to Darwin and we got on the Darwin Hop on Hop off bus. The descriptions and great commentary was so informative. At one point our driver who was very upbeat and happy saw some wallaby's in a field and pulled over so we could take photos and see them- such a highlight . We went back to some of the museums the next day. HIGHLY recommend this bus trip to see all the highlights of Darwin. Steve and Sharon from Arizona USA 😄

Our Hop on Hop off bus excursions around Darwin was the highlight of our visit. The bus was comfortable and gave us panoramic views of this unusual city. The running schedule provided us with the opportunity to see many of the places of interest including the waterfront, museums and casino. Our favourite was the Tunnels museum. Our bus driver couldn't be more helpful and his commentary was informative and entertaining. A great experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed the hop on hop off bus tour of Darwin. From the friendly greeting before we boarded to the excellent commentary as we travelled, topped off by our visit to the Military Museum with its fantastic movie about the bombing if Darwin Harbour. My grandson and I highly recommend this tour.
