The Aviation museum, Darwin botanic gardens, Aboriganl art museum were all fantastic.
Unfortunately the big bus we were on you couldn't see anything the driver was pointing out along the way and it would have been great if he had of stopped in some places and let us look and take a photo.
Bus way too big, smaller bus and fewer people and maybe we could have seen out the windows.

I went on a tour with aat kings and our tour captain was Warren. The tour itself was a good taste of Darwin but the driver was not helpful and hard to understand. A few of us felt quite uncomfortable how much he was coughing though the day and didnt feel safe. The nt history museum was great with plenty to see. Would love an extra hour here. Coach was clean and had usb ports to charge phone. All Museums have good air con to beat darwins heat. Enjoyable information provided at museum with darwins aviation history.

Enjoyable and relaxing. The guide was good maybe a few less 'ums' requires a bit of effort but can be done. Why is there always one passenger who lives in a different world and arrives late but over the years got used to it. As with all fairly quick overview tours could have spent more time at the museum and was unfortunate the Aboriginal Art part of the museum was closed for rehanging. They do have an excellent collection. Was 25 years since last in Darwin to see it and as an 85 year old maybe will not be back. It is time the museum had a major expansion as a number of Australian Galleries have done in recent years.

Great guide and she took us to very interesting places, only problem I encountered Was the TripAdvisor app. All contact details by phone out of date or just plan wrong. Same goes for the tour operators AAPKing, would not answer phone on hold for over 30mins and contact details all wrong. Tour bus turned up 22 mins late.
