    Terence_T, Sep 2023
    The tour stops were very interesting and guide had excellent knowledge and manner. Tour exceeded my expectations.
    Darwin overview in a few hours
    Cathy_S, Aug 2023
    Reptile park was a hit but organisers not ready to present when we arrived. ☹️ Great commentary overall. Ian was very knowledgeable. Super overview of Darwin historically and culturally. Very convenient introduction to Darwin. Wise to book directly with Karen. Can highly recommend Wallaroo Tours.
    Bad Customer Service Experience
    Claudia_C, Apr 2023
    The tour itself was okay, mostly being driven around and buildings pointed out. The tunnels, market & museums were good, but think the tour could be cut down in length. The reason for the one star is the hotel pickup. We couldn’t ever get the tour company to respond to NUMEROUS requests to confirm our pickup location & time. Nor did they pick up repeated phone calls-left messages to no avail. Waited from 8:45 am until 9:20 for our pickup & decided they’d be a no-show. Just as we were about to head into the hotel, the guide pulled up & started checking for names. No apology for being late, just stated he didn’t even begin his route until 9:00. Wallaroo Tour Tub & Jumping Crocodile Adventure was the company we were booked through. Horrible customer service!
