5.0Best way to see the main attractions. Plenty of time to spend at each with superb guides to give information.
Interesting & Well organised - but too brief - tour around the places that made & still make Alice Springs special

5.0Spent the morning at Desert Park (option) and then an enjoyable afternoon with guide Martin. So well organised and interesting content at all our stops, but barely enough time to take it all in even with only a small group. Reptile Park talk was a real treat - debunking much of our knowledge about saltwater crocs and venomous snakes.
Informative and wonderful

5.0The driver/tour guide Phil, was excellent, lots of interesting information and very considerate. The locations on the tour were varied and fascinating. We particularly enjoyed the AS school of the air and Rex was very amusing and informative at the Reptile Centre.
Great tour.

4.0Macca was a top tour guide. Looked after us very well. Only dropped one star as the coach air conditioning broke down. Not ideal in 39C heat.
