This tour is a must-do if you enjoy history, and having a guide with a wealth of knowledge and passion. We enjoyed the vehicle, the music and the quirky anecdotes. Darwin is a beautiful city and it was interesting seeing the sites also. Highly recommended indeed. You seldom get to meet people with this level of passion and knowledge in what they do. Our bus didn’t arrive for our original trip, our tour company was awful - we couldn’t book anything as seemingly it was all booked up and were feeling pretty fed up. By 10 AM we saw this wonderful vehicle and made enquiries and after that our day got better and better. It really turned yesterday around and we even ended up having dinner at one of the places he pointed out - Pee Wees which was awesome. Thank you for making our first day in Darwin great !

Fantastic tour! We loved all the interesting facts and riding a round in the truck added an extra unique factor to the tour. It was quite hot but the openness of the truck meant we didn’t feel it so much. Affordable for a family and really a great way to start our time in Darwin!

Dave provided excellent knowledge of the role of Darwin in WW11. He was utterly engaging and personable with the group. I learned more in this 90 minutes than in 4 previous visits to the city

Non-stop information throughout this 80 minute tour. Terrific guide. Travel in an original 1940s Studebaker military transport vehicle. Breezy and comfortable. Excellent sound quality so its easy to hear what the guide is saying. Lots to see around Darwin. The time flew by because it was so enjoyable. One of the best tourist activities in Darwin. Great value

We took the first tour of the day at 10am and it was really interesting particularly to those of us who aren’t Darwin born. I learned a lot about Darwin’s early history, WW2 bombings and the tour also covered post wartime with Cyclones and more recent news stories ie. the imprisonment and subsequent release of Lindy Chamberlain. The truck is pretty original ie. expect skinny, hard seats, open sides and the occasional, delicious odour of petrol fumes. It was a little hard to hear the commentary at times especially at the end of the tour when the song, Santa never made it to Darwin played right through the end of the tour....I would suggest turning it down or off so that those in the back can hear the round up by the driver. Also, if you have long legs, avoid the front left seats and those of us on the larger size could find it difficult to fit in the seats at all. On a beautiful, sunny winter day as we had, I can’t think of a better way to learn history it just needed a little tweaking for those of us a little hard of hearing!

This tour was wonderfull,driver was very knowledgeable.Ended the tour at Darwinat Darwin Military Museum.

Whilst sitting in the WW2 genuine army truck you learn about pre-war Darwin, the devastation of Cyclone Tracy and Darwin's historical sites. A visit to the Darwin Military Museum (drop off/pick up) is also a "must see" which is a great war history lesson and includes the wonderful Bombing of Darwin Experience which makes you feel like you were there in 1942.

We were delighted with the tour and obliging guide. Great introduction to the city and its pre and post war history.

This is one of the best tours in Darwin. So much knowledge of the history of Darwin . Gives you an insight of why Darwin was bombed and the morning of Feb 1942, and includes history of Cyclone Tracy. Great value for money. Totally recommend this tour , a must do!!

We turned up and managed to get onto a tour immediately and were very happy we did. The truck is fantastic and the running commentary so interesting. You visit a fair amount of the city and get photo opportunities in many places. We did not have time for the museum up those getting back on the truck seemed to enjoy that very much. Highly recommend

This was a really interesting tour. The truck was fabulous and the driver/tour guide really new his stuff and was a really interesting person to listen to. Would recommend it to everyone, even if history isn't your thing.

The bloke running this is someone I’d like to spend some time with. It seems he has got this 75yo truck running very well, and he has a wealth of knowledge about Darwin, not just the bombing. There is a non-stop commentary which sounds professionally recorded, but it’s done live as we found out due to a minor glitch. Dunno how he remembers it all! (and he is driving a heavy old 6wd truck and negotiating traffic while he does it). There is the option of including the wartime museum and I strongly recommend you do this. We had planned on taking the hop on hop off bus to get an orientation of Darwin, but found that to be unnecessary - and we got enough knowledge from our guide to be able to visit Burnett house and the Yacht Club separately, plus a couple of other places we will see when we have time. He runs a good little operation.

We had an amazing tour today. The tour guide was so knowledge and you could tell he loves what he does. Comfy ride, great scenery, what more could you want?? Would recommend

Great tour. Its a lot of fun cruising around Darwin in and old army truck. This tour gives you a mix of Darwin sightseeing as well as a strong military and war history tour. I learnt a lot of interesting facts about Australias involvement in the war that i didn't know.

I recently travelled on the 10am tour and really enjoyed the experience. Our guide David was really passionate and a great guide. The tour took us around various parts of Darwin, with ongoing commentary. A highly recommended experience in Darwin!
