A good script was provided. By my 4th time around I had it pretty well under my belt. But I will need to go on probably two more circuits to get ready for the exam. The quality of the driving was of a high standard. Not so, some of the "jokes" in the script. I had to block my ears when I knew they were coming up. Overall a very high quality experience.

We boarded at the number one "hop on hop off" stop, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The trip and commentary were excellent . We did have a "panic" moment because your website said we must have a printed copy of the ticket and as we were staying at an Air BNB and booked on line we did not have access to a printer. Your website didn't mention we could get a printed ticket at the number one stop. Perhaps you could mention this can be done at that venue.

Tuickrt was quick and easy to arrange. The driver was most helpful and made the online ticket translate easily to a physical one. We stopped at the museum and were very impressed with the wildlife displays, the stories about the local aboriginal people and the terror of Cyclone Tracey. We also stopped at Crocosaurus Cove and thoroughly enjoyed the visit.

On time, chatty and helpful driver. Commentary ok but a bit Aussie corny. Comfortable bus. Runs every 35 mins. Seems to cover most areas of interest. Able to get a seat at each stop we boarded. Bus stops could be a more clearly labelled.

Ticketing was easy on my phone and the driver was very helpful with information when we boarded the bus. As we didn't hire a car this trip the hop-on bus enabled us to still sightsee around Darwin and visit key attractions as required.

Was nice and easy, went straight to Crocosaurus Cove and collected my ticket, walked around and watched the big crocs being fed, jumped on a bus opposite the Cove entrance and went for a lap around Darwin. Jumped off a couple spots and had a beer or two and jumped back on to finish the tour back where I started. Great day

Ticketing was a bit of a pain. We had to restart the ticketing, 3 times. I wish we'd realized that we could buy tickets there. Also the stop with the casino/gardens is really spread out. Would be nicer to have a couple of drop zones along there.
