Magnificent Uluru - Collected at hotel door by driver Alan and guide Mitch. This trip includes a walk around Uluru base to see some cave art and also a waterhole. We also visited a cultural centre to see some artwork and tools etc.. The guide shared lots of stories with us about Uluru and Aboriginal folklore and how it is not written down. All knowledge and skills are passed on verbally from Mother to Daughter and Father to Son. We then travelled to a place where we were to see the sunset and how Uluru changed with the different light. While waiting for the sunset we were served canapes, cheese ,meats, crackers, pickles, soft drinks and bubbles. It was amazing to see how well organised this is and how well everybody was looked after. Unfortunately the day we were there it was a bit cloudy and we did not get a great Sunset but we still had a great time and a wonderful vantage point to see" The Magnificent Uluru"

Yup - another must do! - The afternoon tour was excellent, mostly due to the experienced guide, Mike, who shared so much of the local culture, heritage and history. Locations visited were well chosen. Sunset with Uluru Rock was interesting to see. Supper/BBQ after was just alright. Not much selection.

Majestic Uluru up close and far away - This tour really made us appreciate Uluru because of the great storytelling by Chloe and Lincoln who made a great tag team. There was so much to learn and seeing Uluru up close with all the markings was augmented by all the stories. There is a part of the drive where you are not allowed to take photos or videos as that is the sacred part of Uluru and after hearing the stories behind the rock markings, you will understand why these need to be respected. The Cultural Centre was also a photo-free zone, but again there is so much history to be revered here that you will understand why. It was a 30-minute stop but it was enough time to take it in. You can also buy souvenirs and grab a bite/drink here, but the tour provides water so as long as you've got a reusable water bottle you should be okay - no need to buy 3 liters of water to carry around! Although it was March, there were still some bothersome flies so fortunately we brought flynets which saved us from constantly doing the Aussie salute :) When it was time to view Uluru at sunset, they drove us to the sunset viewing area where there was a reserved area for our tour - they also provided folding stools for us to sit on as we waited for the changing of the colors. We were lucky that it was a sunny day, so true to what our guides told us, we saw the changes from orange to a deep red, and finally golden yellow. A couple beside us were smart enough to have brought a tripod and took a timelapse of the sunset, and they shared it with us - you really get to see the changing of the colors that way. All in all this was a great trip to wrap up our Uluru adventure and would highly recommend!

Beautiful site, sunset we saw nothing special. - We drove up to Uluru itself and walked through several areas, learning about the aboriginal stories of this place and about the site itself. We saw a cave and a watering hole. We also drove around Uluru. Sunset is supposed to be spectacular, but the one we saw was nothing special, as there were clouds on the horizon. Still, a great experience.

A very special experience. - This was a very special experience. The guides (James & Glen) explained about the culture of the aboriginal people, showed us some of their sacred places around Uluru and told some of their creation stories. At the end of the day we shared a BBQ dinner under the stars and in the shadow of Uluru with people from all over the world. We felt privileged to spend some time in that special place.

An unforgettable experience - Having great tour guides can make a tour. Both Hailey and Julian were very knowledgeable about the area and the indigenous people. We learnt so much about the historical stories and morals which were pointed out and explained so well at various locations. Diana and Beverley
