5.00An amazing half day full of incredible sights and a really enthusiastic tour guide team who shared their knowledge generously. The Cultural Centre was a very informative start to the afternoon and the gallery there was amazing. Visiting Uluru was a very special experience - we learnt so much about this sacred place and felt privileged to be able to get close to it in a respectful way. The afternoon ended with welcome refreshments and a great spot for viewing of the rock as the sun set. Thank you for a great tour!
Excellent tour

5.00Stef and Andy are great tour guides. A lot of interesting information and local indigenous information shared. The explanations were excellent and highly informed. Really enjoyed the trip, the sunset was perfect and loved being able to see local artists at the lookout.

3.00aatkings was impossible to reach by phone to confirm the trip as they had requested. No one picked up even after 20 minutes. Found their email on Google and got tour confirmation. The tour itself was OK but nothing special. Got to see Ayers Rock at sunset which was great!
Fascinating tour

5.00Great commentary from both guides about the history of the area and the indigenous peoples. You get up close to Uluru and are even able to touch it.

5.00It was a wonderful experience. I travelled with a friend and my two young children and we all had a wonderful time.The guides were really great, very knowledgeable, polite and happy to help. The tour was on time both departing and returning. The sunset view of Uluru was breathtaking, and the nibbles and drink made it even more enjoyable. I would recommend this tour 100%.
Fabulous Experience

5.00This was a great trip with a visit to the Cultural Centre and a guided walk to the watering hole before getting to watch the sunset. The evening BBQ was absolutely delicious and we finished with a star gazing talk. Our guides Alex and Marc were very informative and good company. We were lucky to have clear skies and the night sky was absolutely magical. We would definitely recommend this trip.
Great

3.00If you can, book the walk along the entire rock or so it yourself with the Audioguide. This tour was very basic and not worth the time and price. The sunset was great but Yiu can also get there on your own as everyone goes to the same place.
