- Kakadu, Katherine & Litchfield Explorer
I did the 5 day Kakadu tour with Anna Teneggi and she was the best tour guide I've ever travelled with. She was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the area and she took excellent care of everyone. The tour was amazing with spectacular scenery everywhere we went. The campsite and bus were very comfortable and the food was excellent.
