The best way to explore the Darwin Botanic Gardens. John, our guide, knew a great deal, not only about plants but about the history of the gardens. He took us to places I would not have found without John's guidance.

We both really enjoyed the wide variety of plants that were on display. Our guide was very knowledgeable and informative.

A perfect afternoon having a guided tour of the tropical gardens with inside information and Darwin folklore. Our guides were Rachel and John, both providing excellent commentary on various trees and history of the area. I would highly recommend this tour, even for people who aren’t avid gardeners. Wear comfortable shoes, a hat and take plenty of water.

We did two tours with Walk Darwin during our short stay in Darwin, the ‘Meet the plants walk’ through the Botanical Gardens with Nerida and the ‘Hidden Secrets of Darwin walk’ with John the following day. Both walks were casual yet super informative and we learnt things we definitely would not have gained on our own. We enjoyed our walks throughly and would highly recommend for anyone looking to gain a further understanding of the history and stories of these fascinating places.

A pleasant walk around the gardens with a passionate Darwin resident as our guide. She explained that she was not a horticultural expert at all she is just a Gardens enthusiast. A pleasant way to see the Gardens.

Fantastic tour. As a local I enjoyed learning so much more about our beautiful gardens. I highly recommend to Darwinites and tourists alike. Thank you

This is an excellent, informative and well-researched tour covering the history of the gardens and many of the plants and wildlife living in the gardens. Yvonne, our guide, could answer all of our questions, and guide us through some stunning seasonal flowerings - of the boab tree, cannonball tree and many varieties of ornamental ginger. She also knew where to find a barking owl (snoozing high up in a tree) and lovely blue-winged kookaburra. I joined the final free walking tour of the gardens (mid Oct 2018), organised with Walk Darwin by the Darwin City Council. It would definitely be worth paying for this excellent tour.

A relaxed opportunity to learn more about the history of the gardens and some key features. It provides a springboard to further explore those areas that you are interested in. The talk was informative and conducted at a good pace. Questions were happily welcomed. A great introduction!

Very enjoyable 1 hour free guided tour of the Botanic Gardens by Walk Darwin funded by the government. This is not a serious botanic tour but an easy paced overview with history about the gardens and advice as to other sections that may be of interest to the guest. Suited us just perfectly.

A one hour walking tour in the heat was not something that I had planned but very pleased that we took the tour. The guide was knowledgeable and interesting and we walked at a pace that was easy to keep up with. Most enjoyable, as was the cold drink in the cafe afterwards.
