4.00It was very expensive tour as park entrance was not included and it was $38. But it was worth it as the bbq was very nice . Long day and very tiring. We did not see Simpson’s gap and a few other places as it was a very long trip.
Wonderful day

5.00My husband and I had a wonderful day at Uluru with our tireless driver, Andy and knowledgeable tour guide, Yad. My husband celebrated his 80th birthday with a sunset barbecue at Uluru, a truly memorable experience, made even more memorable by the staff of Emu, who went out of their way to help me surprise him. Special thanks to Krisna and her manager at Emu., who were truly extraordinary. Our driver, Andy drove over four hours from Alice Springs to Uluru and then another more than four hours back at night. Yad, our tour guide, provided interesting and beautifully balanced commentary on the cultural significance for the Pitjantjatjara people, as well as the geological explanation for the existence of Uluru. Oh, and the barbecue with bubbly provided just the right finish for the day. P.S. A netting helmet is a must, as the flies (of the non-biting kind) constantly buzzed around our heads as we toured the beautiful Uluru Rock. But this was a small price to pay for visiting this iconic site.
