Grandfather, grandmother and three curious grandchildren spent our last day in Darwin with Tess and what a special day it was. We went to Australia in Oct. 2010 but I have just started writing reviews on Trip Advisor and had to put in a good word for Tess. She was patient with the children (ages 10, 12, 13). She painted...

An indigenous tour into Litchfield for the day was one of the highlights of our visit to Australia. Tess our guide was a bubbly vivacious person who gave us a more detailed insight into the lives of the indigenous peoples of her community and her personal aims and aspirations for the future. We also experienced Bush Tucker and our eyes... More

We are a family of four and we booked a tour with Tess from the UK so I must admit I was a little apprehensive about what we might expect ... but ... within minutes of meeting Tess for the first time at our hotel we relaxed. Tess is a remarkable lady - very friends and full of smiles so... More

A day with Tess is a "must do" for anyone spending time in Darwin. Our day with Tess exceeded our expectations based on her knowledge of the Litchfield region, her ability to articulate her peoples' perspective, her knowledge of flora and fauna and most importantly her passion and absolute love of what she does. We look forward to getting back... More

Having spent several days in a hotel and conference centre, it was a delight to be transported to the great outdoors at Litchfield Park by Tess Atie who helped us appreciate her land through the senses of an indigenous person who had grown up in the area. The scenery was stunning, the guide informative, entertaining and caring and the food... More

We started out at the Territory Wildlife Park, where we were given the opportunity to feed rays and various fish. After that we went to the acquarium containing fish and turtles. Tess had a recipe for every one of them, apart from the ones not worth eating. I never knew how to cook turtle; but Tess supplied the recipe for... More

I had a great day with Tess in beautiful Litchfield region. The tour was perfect, just the sort of thing I was looking for, out of the touristic scheme. Tess is fabulous, her knowledge of the region is, of course, impressive and I felt privileged that she shared it with us. I would definitely recommend it ! More

Tess' day tour was special and unique - on my day, we had 4 women in the car, but she can take up to 6 people in the 4WD. I asked for lots of waterholes - we visited 3 different spots; Wangi falls was glorious. Tess grew up in the area, so has heaps of stories. She will also show... More

I rang NT Indigenous Tours, the week before I went to Darwin as her tours sounded like something a bit out of the norm. I was specifically interested in bush tucker as i worked in the food industry and was looking for something special which I could add to a new product i am introducing onto the market mid 2012....
