Great intro to Darwin

Excellent way to become familiar with Darwin. We did a full loop then got on & off at the attractions that we were interested in. They even did an additional run to drop patrons off at Mindil markets too!

Best way to see Darwin in off peak season

It was a great way to get around Darwin. We liked it so much we did 2 loops on it. The commentary was excellent and the ease of getting a ticket from the driver was a real feature. I think in peak season the bus could be full and you can't get on. Would be worth enquiring about bus seat availability during peak times

Operator response

Hi Andrew, thank you so much for your positive review! We're glad you enjoyed your experience on our bus and took advantage of our commentary and ticketing system. We will definitely look into increasing capacity during peak season to ensure all our customers can hop on board. See you again soon! Andrei @BigBusTours
