Gourmet Lunch and Gourmet Dinner Tours
Enjoy a wide range of tasting plates at three of Darwin’s top restaurants for a 4-hour tour. There’s an emphasis on fresh local ingredients including Aboriginal bush foods, and chefs and staff who talk about their creations. It’s an easy, escorted walk between top spots that feature different kinds of food. There’s lots to eat and a welcome drink of beer, wine or spirits is included at the first restaurant, as are non-alcoholic drinks throughout. And along the way you’ll see cultural and historic landmarks and Darwin’s fabulous street artworks, many that jump off the walls with futuristic augmented reality.
