What people love about touring Australia Northern Territory solo
- 3 Day Uluru Kata-Tjuta Kings Canyon (Camping) - From Alice Springs
Really amazing experience with the 3 Day Red Centre Uluru Kings Canyon tour! Everything was extremely well organized, and our guide, Jordan, was incredible. His warmth, kindness and humour set a great tone for the group and made for an exceptional experience! Highly recommended!
- Kakadu, Katherine & Litchfield Explorer
I did the 5 day Kakadu tour with Anna Teneggi and she was the best tour guide I've ever travelled with. She was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the area and she took excellent care of everyone. The tour was amazing with spectacular scenery everywhere we went. The campsite and bus were very comfortable and the food was excellent.
- 3 Day Uluru Adventure
Loved every minute..the well organised itinerary, magnificent Australia! Fun sharing in working together and meeting some really lovely people..thanks Nat...tour guide extraordinaire
