Amazing Spot - Geoff led a fantastic tour. It was so personalised. He stopped whenever we saw something of interest. I saw so much amazing wildlife. It was a highlight of my trip to Darwin and I would highly recommend it to anyone heading to the NT.

Best Tour Guide in Darwin - We had a fantastic time in Darwin with Look About Tours. Nothing was too much trouble for Geoff, who went over & above to ensure our holiday was one to remember. It was a lovely relaxed pace and we still got to see and do so much. We had amazing immersive experiences tailored to everyone in our group, aged from 16 to 80! Look About Tours put together the most comprehensive itinerary, that ensured we saw all of what Darwin & the NT has to offer. If you want a tour guide who is passionate, entertaining, with fantastic wildlife knowledge and lots of local insights (we got to see hidden gems and visit the best swimming holes!), Geoff is your man! We would do the trip all over again in a heartbeat with Look About Tours. Thank you Geoff & Jane

Great nature and senil views and a charming pub with good food/drinks - A perfect 5-6 hours at Fogg Dam and Humpty Doo. The Nature and wildlife at the Dam was fantastic and the sunset was right up there. A little group of people with a local guide who makes sure everybody has a good time. Lots of info on Darwin and a great guide to be with. The Humpty Doo has great food and beers and has the top END charm. A great time and value for money. The Vikings

Fantastic Fogg Dam / Darwin experience - We couldn’t recommend this tour more highly. Informative, fun, stunning wildlife and environment. Geoff is extremely knowledgable about the history and features of Darwin and the NT. The tour is like a template of the places to go in Darwin, (with background information ) and an exciting wildlife experience. Geoff is also a skilled photographer who sends great pictures after the tour. Sandy and Terry Foley

Fogg Dam and Humpty Doo Hotel - Our tour host was very friendly and knowledgeable about Darwin and its history. Geoff was very accomadating with my mum who is not a good walker. I loved Fogg Dam and Humpty Doo hotel. Meeting some of NT local wildlife was fantastic. I highly recommend having a tour with Geoff and his team from LookAbout tours.

Fantastic evening chasing Australian wildlife. Like stepping into the pages of National Geographic - I had a great evening chasing Australian wildlife at Fogg Dam with Geoff. He picked me up right on time and off we went to see everything from wallabies and spoonbills to black-necked storks (locally called jabirus) and magnetic termites. The photos attached to this review were taken that evening. Geoff is extremely knowledgeable about Fogg Dam as he very clearly spends a lot of personal time there. He isn't a guide reading from a guidebook, but rather a guide who knows other regulars there by name and has favourite spots along the dam for seeing certain things. He knows when a new island has formed in the marsh or the times of day or year when certain creatures are easiest to spot. We spent until sunset scanning the waters of Fogg Dam for birds, lizards, crocs, and marsupials and then went to eat some tasty steaks at the Humpty Doo Hotel. He knows a lot about the rest of Australia and is a great conversationalist, so we stayed well into the night discussing the other great nature opportunities Australia has to offer. This tour is a ton of fun!
