Bienvenue à Walk Darwin ; une entreprise familiale locale spécialisée dans les visites guidées à pied en petit groupe de la ville de Darwin et des jardins botaniques George Brown Darwin.
Vos hôtes, Nerida et John Hart, ainsi qu'une équipe passionnée de guides locaux, vous invitent à découvrir un avant-goût de ce qui fait vibrer Darwin, en visitant des lieux emblématiques et des histoires régalantes du passé frontalier de Darwin. Ils offrent aux visiteurs une perspective locale de la vie à Darwin aujourd'hui et de ce qui fait des Territorians in the Top End une race unique.
Avec son design urbain pratique, Darwin est l'une des meilleures villes d'Australie à explorer à pied. Ils se promènent toute l'année dans la ville animée à travers toutes les saisons, s'adaptant aux besoins de nos hôtes pendant l'été tropical lorsque le rythme de la vie ralentit et que le drame énergique de l'environnement naturel annonce un changement merveilleux.
La marche et le confort sont ce qu'ils sont. Un changement de rythme, un arrêt à l'ombre ou un coup de main en cas de besoin, fait toute la différence pour les clients et ils n'aiment rien de mieux que de passer du temps avec des voyageurs heureux.
