Prior to a recent visit to Broken Hill, I booked a tour with Aussie Tom. Unfortunately there was a problem with the weather but I was kept fully informed and a cheaper alternate tour was offered. I accepted the offer of the alternative tour and received a prompt refund of the price difference – a sign of a very honest business. The alternate tour was very good and I was well looked after. I hope to visit Broken Hill again and will plan another tour with Aussie Tom.
I was delighted to find Aussie Tom’s Tours on the Visit Broken Hill website. Tom kindly arranged an airport pickup which fit perfectly with the tour timing. I really enjoyed the tours, discovering Broken Hill’s unique attractions and learning so much about outback life from Tom’s excellent local knowledge.
We came for the drinks but ended up with a surprise! Great tour, Highly recommend.
