To top it off, the food we had was amazing and at two of our favourite places, so this made it even more enjoyable.
Thankyou to our tour guide Richard, it was a lot of fun






Artwork was really interesting and would not have known about it without the tour
The Tour guide Katerina was very knowledgeable about Darwin itself and also its local cuisine


















Reverse visits to the two properties so that you finish on a higher note.
Add nice Australian morning tea.















The food we tasted at each of the three restaurants was delicious and generous. The street art was awesome (make sure you download the AR app) and Chris’ enthusiasm and knowledge was invaluable. She also showed us several little local gems we might not otherwise have found.
One of us has some mobility issues following an injury and Chris made sure to pace the tour accordingly.
All in all one of the best luncheon experiences we have had anywhere.

Great evening food 3 courses in 3 different restaurants.
Street Art walk very interesting and informative..
Food is great and ample quantity.
Guide was excellent.We thoroughly enjoyed the food, the walking between restaurants , local information from Richard and the company, and discussions with the other participants.








Great fun Street art tour with unique interactive art.
Very informative guides, Caris & Richard. Thank you.


The street art that we saw was amazing, and the app that brought some of it to life is totally fascinating.
Well done




Phat Mango with 3 selections including 2 fish and one beef.
Rubys for Vietnamese with awesome duck salad, chicken wings, and scrumptious veggies.
Snapper Rocks down by the beautiful wharf area for amazing barby red snapper, crocodile and luscious banana dessert.
The sun went down and it was beautiful evening. Darrell was fun and most knowledgeable on Darwin's history and culture. We went to bed happy and full.


Food was delicious at the restaurants we went to.


However the truly unexpected part of the tour for me was the street art, augmented by an app, so that many of them came to life via the app on your phone. Playing music or having the art interact or change. It’s a fabulous use of technology and was well explained by guide Chris.
If you can, book on this tour for your first night in Darwin, it will orient you and give you ideas about where to eat next and other places to visit that a local guide can tell you about - apparently the High Court has a spectacular mosaic floor, but I’ll have to see that on my next visit. Thanks Chris.




Coming from Melbourne where the food and art is so diverse, I was happily surprised by the quality food and colourful street art of Darwin - it really puts Melbourne CBD street art to shame.
It was worth the money for me and I was lucky to have Michael, Ella and Carol as my tour guides who are incredibly friendly and lovely to chat with. We visited Roma, Ruby and Snapper Rocks which were all great. It was a shame Phat Mango was closed on the Sunday because I’ve heard great things about it so will pop in another time.
This is definitely for the foodies who appreciate good meals, also a word of warning - there’s lots of food so skip the previous meal if you’re having lunch or dinner to make room because it’s a feast.
