Dingo picked us up promptly from our hotel and his English was terrific and he was highly engaging and committed to providing us a wonderful experience. Great humour and knowledge of Australian as well! His ability to guide us through the tunnels and history was first class. Nothing was a problem for Dingo. Highly recommend.
