Enjoy and good time - I was glad that I purchased my vouchers on line via Viator.com. When I hopped on the bus, I showed the voucher to the bus driver and he issued me the ticket. The bus driver was very helpful and friendly. I really enjoyed the ride and also visited a few places along the way.

Great bus trip - The hop on hop off bus is always a good choice to get around and see the sights of a city and this was no different in Darwin. We always do one full loop to see what we want and then on the second loop we get off. We chose the markets (wouldn't bother with them again), the Bombing of Darwin/RFDS and the Oil Tunnels, both of which were excellent.

Delightful way to explore Darwin - The Darwin hop-on hop-off bus service is a delightful way to experience the city's key attractions with ease. The bus service offered a well-planned route with several convenient stops. The commentary provided useful information about the landmarks and neighbourhoods we passed. We stopped at the Parap Markets. The markets were a vibrant and lively experience, brimming with local produce, arts and crafts, and delicious street food. I enjoyed browsing through the stalls, sampling some fresh and tasty treats, and soaking up the lively atmosphere. The convenience of the hop-on hop-off bus really shone through here. After a fulfilling time at the markets, it was easy to catch the next bus to continue our sightseeing.

Sightseeing in a double decker bus - The hop on hop off bus was worthwhile catching to see the sights of Darwin. The commentary provided relevant and historical information about Darwin & surrounds. The bus stops at all the tourist sites or within easy walking distance. The bus stops were easy to find and the timetable was easy to read. Would recommend.

Very convenient way to explore Darwin and learn a lot of its history. - The hop on hop off bus, as in many cities of the world, is a great way to tour Darwin City and learn much of its history as you go. It is easy enough to do a complete lap before deciding what attractions you wish to get off and spend time at! Could not recommend it more highly as a great tourist service.

Worthwhile when walking is too hard. - Cringed at the thought of using something so ‘touristy’ but we learnt a lot in comfort on a very hot steamy day and didn’t have to do a lot of walking.

Like most all Bus Tours, this was good. - how do you rate a bus tour? maybe it's not the tour itself but the city you're touring which needs reviewing. a bus is a bus is a bus, and this bus is the same as every other bus on which i've done these tours overseas. it suited our needs perfectly, allowing us a good general view of darwin. the whole trip took just over an hour, which is a good way to go before deciding where to get off and explore. what perhaps deserved it's own rating was the commentary given. talk about australian humour - it was either eye-rollingly embarrassing or tongue-in-cheekly hilarious.

Restricted services - The tour and information was excellent The problem was that there was a 90 minute wait between stops. This meant we were unable to make the stops we wanted to in the timeframe we had. When I asked about the 90 minutes between pickup I was told they only run one bus this time of the year as it’s not worth their while. For a restricted Service we should get a discount.
