The Northern Territory (abbreviated as NT) is a federal Australian territory in the central and central northern regions of Australia. It shares borders with Western Australia to the west (129th meridian east), South Australia to the south (26th parallel south), and Queensland to the east (138th meridian east). To the north, the territory is bordered by the Timor Sea, the Arafura Sea and the Gulf of Carpentaria. Despite its large area—over 1,349,129 square kilometres (520,902 sq mi), making it the third largest Australian federal division—it is sparsely populated. The Northern Territory's population of 244,000 (2016) makes it the least populous of Australia's eight major states and territories, having fewer than half as many people as Tasmania.

Inclusions: Local guide, Spoken commentary
Exclusions: Food and drinks, Hotel pickup and drop-off
The guide really makes the experience on tours such as these. Regretfully our guide, Brian, was inclined to talk more about his life and his experiences than move on with the tour. We were kept standing in one spot for the first 30 minutes of the tour while he spoke about his Cyclone Tracy and work experience, which was initially interesting however, we were keen to get on with the tour. He has obviously led an interesting life in Darwin but a walking tour is what we had signed up for. Another half an hour got us to visit two sites in the mall and then with some coaching we moved on with the walk, but with insufficient time to really see the subsequent sites. Overall, we were disappointed with the tour. Brian had some aids to show but at times they were hard to see and often they faced him, rather than the group. From previous review of the walk, it sounds like John is the tour guide to request.

Can’t recommend a tour with Christine and Peter more highly. Their hospitality and knowledge were a highlight of the trip. Learnt a lot about traditional farming and food production, medicine, weaponsAnd culture. Also a chance to learn about more recent painting techniques and beadwork. They were happy to answer any questions I had and getting a sense of the landscape through their lives and culture change the way I experienced the rest of my trip.

It was quite hot on the day in Nov 2020 but it was worth it. The wallabies young ones hanging around on the grounds were very friendly and sweet. Alex and the Aboriginal guide, Manuel, are a worthy duo. Highly recommended.

Anyone with a pass to the national park could’ve easily done the walk themselves (flat and easy 12km) but it was fantastic to hear about the history and culture behind the significant site! The tour was very well organised- the bus was comfortable and punctual, and the tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Breakfast was provided in a little pouch you carry yourself which included muesli, milk, fruit cup and some sachets for tea and coffee and hot chocolate. Also provided was a flask with hot water which was a nice touch considering it was such a windy and cold morning! Would recommend this tour for those wishing to learn about the rock!

I do postcards with my drawings and budget tours to top attractions and hidden gems of Transnistria. Honestly, I can’t make Maldives of my country, because it is not Maldives. But i can make an unforgettable journey through all contrasts of what it really is - beautiful panoramas and impressive soviet lost places, curious history and nowadays life in the country that doesn't exist, combining classic walk with forays for true explorers and adventurers. Now I started virtual tour, it is a teaser, a sneak peek, but I made it as close to real tours as possible. Everything can be customized, there is no Stalinism, we will decide where to go and what to talk about along the way. Default route is 2 hours, I will show my favorite bits of Tiraspol and Bendery, first part - city, second part - urbex. You can use smartphone or notebook web-browser, and write your questions and comments in chat in same window. There will be jaw-down abandoned USSR places where I never took real tours before.
Inclusions: Postcard for the memory! Cards, magnets and maps made by the guide himself available for purchase!
Exclusions: Postcard set, magnets and maps of Transnistria available for additional price
Wonderful story to enter one of the most fascinating places on the planet. Anton explains aspects of the local reality and shows totally incredible images from different locations. It is entertaining and visually spectacular. Also, he is very attentive and his English is perfectly understood. Highly recommended for any type of public, both for lovers of Eastern European history and for the general public. You do not miss the hype!
