Very interesting, loved...

Nathalie_B, Apr 2026

Very interesting, loved the aviation and natural museums we visited. Warren and Jess our tour guide and driver were excellent.

Not all that great experience

Kewal_a, Apr 2025

Had difficulty booking. Meeting location was totally confusing because the hotel had changed its name (few years ago) but Viator never updated the information

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Dear Kewal, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad you chose to travel with us and hope you enjoyed your overall experience. Regarding the meeting location confusion, we always recommend that guests contact the tour supplier at least 24 hours prior to departure to reconfirm pick-up details. This helps ensure the most up-to-date information is received, especially in cases where hotel names or pick-up points may have changed over time. Thank you again for travelling with us—we appreciate having had the opportunity to host you. AAT Kings Team. Sonia

The driver / guide was very informative. Hotel pick up provided We had a nice tour after our Ghan Trip. Recommended for the price.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Thank you for your kind words! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your tour after your Ghan trip and found the experience informative and convenient with our hotel pick-up service. It's wonderful to know you felt the tour was a great value. Jess, AAT Kings

Darwin city tour.

Diane_V, Oct 2024

Mel was a great guide. We saw a lot in a short time. The airplane museum was interesting. I could have spent more time in the gardens. And the museum was great.

Bus tour was not good.

spider, Jul 2024

The Aviation museum, Darwin botanic gardens, Aboriganl art museum were all fantastic. Unfortunately the big bus we were on you couldn't see anything the driver was pointing out along the way and it would have been great if he had of stopped in some places and let us look and take a photo. Bus way too big, smaller bus and fewer people and maybe we could have seen out the windows.

Great intro to Darwin

Peter_M, Jun 2024

Very informative; a good way to get oriented in Darwin. Knowledgeable guide. The Aviation museum was well worth the trip

Highlights of Darwin’s History

Karen_F, Mar 2024

Mark at AAT was very knowledgeable on Darwin’s history & provides some light hearted comedy along the way. Great way to spend a 1/2 day in Darwin.

Great professional guide. Bus immaculate and on time. Really enjoyable tour. Thankyou!

ursula_k, Jun 2022

It was all enjoyable. Commentary from the guide was informative and interesting. Maybe a little more time and information about the botanical gardens would have been a bonus…. Especially about the local fauna and flora.

Fun and informative bus trip around Darwin

Michelle_P, May 2022

Our driver/ guide Mark (Marcus) was very informative. He was punctual, welcoming and make the trip very interesting pointing out various locations

Local spots

Miranda_S, Sep 2021

Would of loved more time at each main stop as there was so much to see in a short amount of time. Full day would be ideal - plus enjoy an lunch somewhere.

Response from Host, Sep 2021

Dear Miranda_S, Thanks for sharing your feedback with us, and I will pass along your comments to our Senior Management Team. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in the Top End, and see you soon on another AAT Kings tour. Thanks, The Team at AAT Kings

A precis of Darwin in style

Peter_T, May 2021

Perfect way to get your bearings. Good commentary about the devistating cyclone Tracy. The air museum was the highlight. Thoroughly recommend it. Disappointed that there was no sunset cruise, but on the end the bus driver solved the issue by recommending dinner at the sailing club and watched the sunset from there

Response from Host, May 2021

Dear Peter_T, Thanks very much for taking the time to provide us with feedback and we are delighted to read that you enjoyed touring with AAT Kings and learning from our Guide. Many thanks for the suggestion, and I will be sure to pass this on to the Management team for review. We hope to welcome you back to the Top End again in the future. Thanks, The Team at AAT Kings

Pleasant, informative

Peter_C, May 2021

Pleasant tour, met similar age people. Web page misleading, appeared to have hotel p/u at 12 pm, optional sunset cruise, pm? Recievef phone call at 8:30 am for hotel p/u. Was informed itinerary changed recently

Response from Host, May 2021

Hello Peter_C, Thanks for your review, and we are glad to read you had a great time and met fellow travellers on the trip with you.

We will certainly review the website to see where it shows a an alternative pick-up time, and we apologise for the inconvenience this may have caused. We hope you enjoyed your time in the Top End, and see you soon on another AAT Kings tour. Thanks, The Team at AAT Kings

Andrew_T, Mar 2014

You were left alone for 4 hours with no one to help you. If not for the staff at Croc cove we would have been lost. The 8 hour guided tour is only 4 hours because the first 4 hours it's up to you to take the tour yourself. This was a waste of cash, don't do it.

When I arrived at Crocosaurus Cove I...

Norma_J, Feb 2014

When I arrived at Crocosaurus Cove I found there was no group and no guide. Plus it was raining. I visited the different exhibits and enjoyed the wild life presentation. About the time I was leaving a large group of school children arrived and the area is a bit small for such a large group in the rain The man in the gift shop gave me my voucher for lunch at The Tap but before that I had to go further up the street to find out the details for the afternoon tour. Lunch was pretty good but I had to stretch it to fill the time. The city tour was also in the rain. The driver/guide was very knowledgeable about Darwin and I got to see a lot out the bus window. The museum stop was very good as I enjoy going to museums--especially the aborigine display and the one on Cyclone Tracy. Unfortunately the sunset cruise was canceled due to the bad weather--no visibility and rough water. The tour ended on a high note when she took us back to the hotel instead of leaving us in the Transit Center where we got on. It would have been much better if it had not rained.
