5.00Very informative guides on the bus and on the boat. The tour around Darwin, Parap etc on the bus seeing old houses and places of interest with stories to go along with it was great. The boat ride was both cooling and exciting. Learnt so many interesting things, heard stories that were both sad and happy. Just wish we had more time at the WWII museum
Very informative
