The Charles Darwin Dinner Cruise was one of the best experiences my wife and I had planned to do on our say in Darwin. Angela is a lover of seafood and the selection on board the cruise was fantastic. The Captain, (a very funny man) and crew were great and only too happy to assist in any way possible. The sunset in Darwin and photographs were priceless to us. A special mention to "Lina" at the drinks bar for one of best Cocktail's my wife has ever had in Darwin. Thanks for a Fabulous Dinner Cruise and excellent photo opportunities, Kind regards to all your great staff, Raymond and Angela Hansford from Northgate in Soth Australia.

What a great way to get around and see Darwin and the many interesting sights that it has to offer, particularly as we were first time arrivals in this fabulous city. We were amazed at the history of the place and its many interesting items which our tour guide went to great lengths to share what he knew about the places we were visiting. The minibus was quite comfortable and air-conditioned and the driver/ guide knew his stuff and went to great lengths to ensure that all on board had a good tour. Overall, a very worthwhile tour and is highly recommended.

Reptile park was a hit but organisers not ready to present when we arrived. ☹️ Great commentary overall. Ian was very knowledgeable. Super overview of Darwin historically and culturally. Very convenient introduction to Darwin. Wise to book directly with Karen. Can highly recommend Wallaroo Tours.

It was a great way to get a glimpse at some of the significant highlights of Darwin. The Art Gallery and Museum were a credit to the city but I really did wonder in amazement at the Oil Tunnels- difficult to fully comprehend the enormity of the project.

The tour itself was okay, mostly being driven around and buildings pointed out. The tunnels, market & museums were good, but think the tour could be cut down in length. The reason for the one star is the hotel pickup. We couldn’t ever get the tour company to respond to NUMEROUS requests to confirm our pickup location & time. Nor did they pick up repeated phone calls-left messages to no avail. Waited from 8:45 am until 9:20 for our pickup & decided they’d be a no-show. Just as we were about to head into the hotel, the guide pulled up & started checking for names. No apology for being late, just stated he didn’t even begin his route until 9:00. Wallaroo Tour Tub & Jumping Crocodile Adventure was the company we were booked through. Horrible customer service!

Good way to get around Darwin when it is so hot - young guide was knowledgeable and friendly - good way to see Darwin city

The driver plus tour guide was very informative as she was driving us around. Not only saw Darwin but the museums that we wanted to see. Picked up from our hotel and delivered back as well. Would recommend to all.
