5.00Great tour with plenty of interesting facts and insight from our guide Jad. He brought the place to life explaining the cultural significance of the region and the importance to its original inhabitants. Hard not to moved by the place. Like nowhere else we have ever been

5.00Great tour and tour guide gave you plenty of time to take photos and check out the Uluru Cultural Centre! Well worth doing and dinner was large! Heaps of Steaks and Sausages left and left overs was given to the local indigenous guests selling paintings to bus tour guests. Added value of sunset photos….we got a full rainbow over the Rock! ❤️❤️ The guide mentioned to us he has seen a rainbow only once over the Rock in 3 years here!
Great tour.

5.00What an incredible day! From start to finish, this tour was thoughtfully run and thoroughly enjoyable. Our guide was not only knowledgeable but also accommodating (even with the locals). The coach was comfortable and well-equipped. Every stop on the itinerary was delivered as promised, giving us a spectacular experience into the heart of Uluru. We were treated to chilled apples along the way, and the sunset BBQ was a true highlight—generous servings of fresh salads, bread, and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. The tour begins in Alice Springs, with convenient pick-up and drop-off at Ayers Rock Resort before returning to Alice Springs. A driver change mid-way ensures safety and professionalism throughout the journey.

3.00The tour and places visited were pretty much as expected. Sadly the main cave with drawings was closed due to cultural activities. The guide was not the easiest to listen to.
Good time with emu run

Overpriced and under delivered

2.00Over priced, over cooked, over promised and under delivered. Staff doing their best, with what little they have been given. Let me start with the first stop, sun set with nibbles and bubbles. Nibbles left under sunlight as we share it with flies and broken tongues. Then to buffet bbq dinner,cheapest cuts of meat, if you could cut the steak you would be lucky to eat it, as it was like leather, vegetables like rubber, salad socking in dressing. Dessert a lamington or a mini pavlova with cream from a can, all of which you can get from a local supermarket. Help yourself to hot drinks but make it with cold water. This is over priced and one of the worst food experiences we have had. And if it was under the stars maybe we would be able too see what we were eating, I guess the reason you get to eat in the dark is because you don’t want you customers to see what you are feeding us. Shame on you for the not giving us the experience we paid for.
Felt very well cared for!

5.00Yad was very informative and patient, everything went smooth and calm. Had plenty of time everywhere. I could've maybe liked a bit more at the cultural center, but I understand certain priorities need to be made, and I had all the time I needed at Uluru itself, so that's what really matters.

4.00Nice sightseeing bus trip with sunset BBQ. The flies were a bit annoying, which made eating dinner an “adventure”! Also, most of our travel companions made the trip from Alice Springs; so we didn’t envy their long ride home.
Super tour

5.00Didn't realise tour company comes out of Alice Springs but it was an excellent tour. Some people came from Alice Springs but we got picked up from Desert Sands. Super efficient organisation. Guide, Yad was very friendly and knowledgeable and the whole tour ran like clockwork. Snacks and cold towels very welcome and the BBQ at the end very good quality. Efficient drip off for local participants whilst the new driver took those from Alice Springs back there. Clever scheduling so that there was no delay for those with a long journey home.
