5.00Excellent visit, knowledgable and friendly guides. Stunning views as the sun set. Well worth adding on the BBQ.
Uluru at sunset and under the stars -10/10!

5.00This tour is a great mix of visiting the cultural center, seeing Uluru as you drive around it in a comfortable coach, with a short walk to the waterhole along with some stories about the area and the history of Uluru, followed by a drive to watch as the sunset across the rock while you enjoy canapés and wine/softdrinks. Truly magical. But they saved the best for last and that was the beautiful bbq dinner under the stars close to Uluru where we engaged in conversations with people from all over the world and were treated to a delicious meal and plenty of wine. They ended the evening with star gazing which was simply unbelievable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone that wants a more relaxed (not real physical) experience here at Uluru. Amazing overall experience and very well run.
Save your money, don’t book

2.00Waste of time. Guide talked way too much while saying nothing. Couldn’t answer any questions. Took 10 minutes to tell 2 sentence stories. Not at all worth paying this exorbitant price; just book the hop on/hop off bus and DIY.

5.00A wonderful afternoon and evening from start to finish. Very well organised, excellent guides (Kevin and Hayley) who both gave very good commentary and information. The walks at the base of Uluru were a great experience. The sunset was fabulous with very generous tasty nibbles and a glass of fizz. We then thoroughly enjoyed the optional, fine-dining, truly delicious BBQ and wine under the stars, followed by a fascinating astronomy talk from Neil. Don't miss it!
Excellent tour! Very...
