This was an awesome experience! Even though the weather was overcast, the joy of trekking along the shores of the Indian Ocean in a camel caravan made for vivid memories which we will never forget. Steve, Adrian and Jeremy were fantastic. Steve had a definite rapport with each of his camels and could speak their language. Jeremy was the lead guide, assuring the caravan stayed on course and proceeded in a nice, comfortable pace. Adrian served as a our walk along guide, taking the time to be aside each of the camels in the caravan to answer any questions and provide insight to the passing scene. He even was so kind as to use each traveler's camera to take personal shots of them to assure clear photos of them as we traveled! We highly recommend this tour.

Due to this tour being cancelled by the company on our first full day in Broome and changed to the last day of our holiday, it still did not deter us from enjoying this city sightseeing tour of the town. Our first stop was Sun Pictures which is the oldest operating indoor/outdoor theatre in the world. Then on to the the Cygnet Bay Pearls showroom for an interesting insight into the pearling industry. A viewing of the dinosaur footprints were also on the agenda at Gantheaume Point just outside of town before a welcome tasting of cold beer at Matso's brewery. To top it off we went on the optional camel ride which was just lovely at sunset and worth while taking part in. Our bus driver and guide for the afternoon was Lindsay who did a fabulous job, well done.

The tour was a wonderful experience except for 4 things._br/_ The tour guide was a little side-tracked and constantly talked about his sore back whilst travelling on the bus. So when we got to some of our destinations we sat in the bus hearing the tour commentary we should have been hearing on the way. 1. The Sun Theatre was the first example of this. We sat in the bus for almost 10 minutes before going in. 2. The Pearl shop visit was too long, the shop representative gave a talk about farming pearls but he was very slow and repeated himself so it was way too long. As soon as he was finished our guide literally kicked us out of the shop. 3. I am not a beer drinker I had been looking forward to getting to the pub to taste their fruit beers I had heard so much about but again too much time was spent in the bus outside the pub listening to the guide. Those of us who were doing the camel ride literally walked in drank our 2 samples and had to leave straight away. 4. The last things was during the camel. The actual ride, the camels and all the staff handling them were extremely nice, friendly and professional except the man in charge of the camels. He was the one who helped everyone get off the camels after the ride. Mounting the camels was no problems, you just get on exactly like a horse and as I ride my horses almost every day of the year, not a problem at all. However when it came to getting off I expected to get off the same way however he would not let me. He insisted to the point of leaning over the saddle and pulling my right foot up and over the camel even though I tried to explain to him that as I had a back problem I should get off the same way I got on but he insisted and forced my leg over the camel as he wanted. This of course let me in some pain but his attitude was that he didn't care!! Even his staff standing behind him were not allowed to help me. So that was not a good finish to my day and overall I was a little disappointed in the tour overall.

Review by: Peter G, July 2017
Enjoyed the tour i hadn't,t been to Broome for years and so much has change so going on this tour helped us get our bearings. Particularly enjoyed the Cygnet Bay Pearl talk and the old picture theatre. Grantheum Point was a bit disappointing. We did the sunset camel ride and would recommend this.

Great tour guide throughout Broome to the best spots with interesting histories. Recommend it.
Review by: Marion E, May 2017
The camel ride at sunset was the highlight of this tour. That was amazing and I would recommend this to anyone visiting Broome. Cable beach would have to be one of the best beaches I have every visited._br/_ And This is from someone who lives on the Gold Coast of Queensland._br/_ A bit of a hassle finding our bus in the dark but all well in the end._br/_ The earlier bus tour was interesting but I wouldn't say exciting. Loved the pearl section of the tour. Would have liked to see a bit more scenery though.

This tour covers Broome's must-sees. I found the presentation about pearls very interesting. My highlight was the camel ride though. It's a good tour but there isn't enough time for the sights visited.

Sightseeing Tour is a Great way of getting your bearings and learning general history of Broome. We were able to plan where we wanted to revisit through the information gained. _br/_ Camel Ride option was a highlight and highly recommended. Suitable for all age and sizes. The camel team leaders are highly experienced and are a smooth operating team. An iconic experience of Broome.
Review by: David B, October 2016
Broome was a new adventure for us. We had not been to Broome or the Kimberleys. This tour was a way of learning about Broome and the immediate vicinity quickly and easily. It gave us an orientation on the town and its history. Brett provided a running commentary on locations as we stopped at them or passed them. It was extremely useful.
Review by: Judy C, September 2016
The Broome City Sightseeing Tour with guide Brett was well worth it. The tour gave us great insight into this amazing town - the sights, the people, the history and the things that make this town very special. We chose the optional camel ride which capped off a great afternoon of experiences.
Review by: Elizabeth P, September 2016
Due to bad weather our tour was split over two days which was quite good. The Broome tour was good with the guide Brett who is very knowledgeable and obviously loves his job. The history of Broome is very interesting and we witnessed a lovely sunset at Gantheaume Point._br/_ The camel ride was fun if not slightly uncomfortable and again the guides are very knowledgeable and happy. We were lucky to experience another spectacular sunset. The photos that you purchase at the end of the ride are a little expensive so suggest just buy the single photos not the USB which is just full of photos of everyone else on the ride and not of much interest after the ride.
Review by: Helen N, July 2016
Everything went smoothly and covered many experiences. Brett was an excellent guide.
Review by: PamF, July 2016
I and several others felt this tour was rushed because 4 people were doing the camel ride and had to be there by 4pm. It would have been better if we could have got off the coach at Town Beach to take photos and go to the Pioneer Cemetery. The same at the Japanese Cemetery. Otherwise very enjoyable.
Review by: Karen M, July 2016
This tour was excellent. Brett and #39;s local knowledge was impressive and he was the perfect host (comedy 101 included). Our only complaint is we should have done the tour on our first day! Thank you and cheers Brett! for everything.

This tour was amazing!
Review by: Clare M, July 2016
This was a very good tour giving you all the main sites of Broome. As the area is fairly compact this is done easily in an afternoon. The camels were an great way to finish the day.

Viator stuffed up! - our tour was not confirmed by Kimberley Wild - Viator didn't advise us that trip had not been confirmed and now waiting on a reply from Viator as to why we weren't advised that tour was not confirmed and waiting on Viator to credit our 310.00 which was paid online in March!!!!
