Red Centre Family Trips/Tours Reviews
- 【Alice Springs】Uluru Ayers Rock & Kings Canyon 8 Days Touring Package
The trip was excellent. All of the companies that were a part of my trip are top notch!
- 3 Day Uluru Kata-Tjuta Kings Canyon (Camping) - From Alice Springs
Damian is a brillant guide and tour leader in this very interesting environment.
- 3 Day Uluru Adventure
It was absolutely exceptional experience! Knowledgeable tour guide (Luke) with his great stories and music coverage to almost every single thing that was mentioned ;) Camp sites "in the middle of nowhere" - in the real desert with its unbelievably beautiful sky (with thousands of stars!!!); food perfection and sharing experience in the kitchen area :) And places - that you can not forget. Uluru with its mysterious Aboriginal history and Kings Canyon, where you can feel like being on the top of the world. Extremely hot though :) I thing, what you learn here pretty quickly is: drink water ;) and have shoes on - at all times ;) ATA with no doubts gave me a great time in the Red Center. With amazing people, unforgettable places, adventure and fun. Thank you ATA! It was a pleasure to be your passenger ;) All the best!
