Well what surprise this tour was. If you only have time to do one tour in Darwin, make it this one. We enjoyed this tour so much. Our tour guide Paul was so informative. We had no idea the extend of what happened during the Darwin Bombing. It was also backed up by the water tour which showed a different perspective of the bombing. The tour guides on the boat were very informative also. The whole tour went together seamlessly. We can highly recommend this tour.

Informative and interesting.

Fantastic experience-our guide was very informative and we visited a whole range of WW11 sites including a boat trip. The bombing of Darwin harbour and the surrounds by the Japanese over a 21 month period needs to be more acknowledged in Australia’s/ANZAC war history.

Professional, knowledgeable and prompt tour with great insights into the lives of those who were there

Paul gave us a historical insight into Darwin before the raid, and that sets the scene for the bomb by bomb story later on the harbour cruise where Alan and Rob provide many factual anecdotes of what it would have been like for soldiers and civilians. Both the bus and boat rides were very comfortable, professional and fun. Would have liked more time at the c Military Museum but it's only a half day tour.
