Great things to see and great guide - Had s really fantastic time! It was a magnificent experience and great sightings. The days were planned well with sufficient time to see it all and not too much or too little to do. A shout out to our guide Damian who also did a great job. He was good at meeting everyone at their level and you could feel he was just a genuine nice and friendly guy. It was nice he did everything he could to help everyone and make us feel safe and accommodate our needs and request in terms of food, shelter, tours and things to see. He had also a lot of knowledge of both the sites and the nature and animals. If I would improve one thing it should be the sleeping bags in the tents. They were not made for the cold during the night where it got really cold.

An outstanding experience. - I've given Damian and his offsider Leah the maximum 5 stars for an outstanding experience in the "red centre". These guys provided a safe and highly professional fully catered tour over 3 days and 2 nights. I finally got to experience this amazing landscape despite living in Australia for 67 years.This experience was only made more memorable by the indepth knowledge of Damian and Leah into the ecology of the area and insights into the aboriginal significance of the landforms. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Wonderful experience with spectacular sights and a tremendous guide - The 3 day tour led by Jim (Jemena) was absolutely fabulous. It was a wonderfully active tour where we all participated in everything. The sights were amazing, Jim made sure we got the best experiences getting us to the various spots at perfect times, making sure we had enough food !, getting us all involved in the prep which resulted in the group really gelling. It was clear that Jim wanted to make sure that everyone got the best experience and really enjoyed it. The camp site at Kings Canyon was spectacular with being a bit remote so that we saw a wonderfully star lit sky at night and loved the eco friendly showers. The permanent tents were comfortable and the swag people told us that they too were not only comfortable but loved looking up at the stars at night ! The indigenous stories connected to the sites were really great to truly appreciate the mountains. The sights, food (loved the sparkling wine watching Uluru at sunset surprise treat also - very memorable !), travel, logistics were all great and Jim did a tremendous job of 'managing' us all ;) - her passion for the land, people and guiding were all so evident - thank-you !

A very happy family from Germany!

Best tour ever - We di the 3 day kings canyon tour and can honestly say one of the best trips I've done. Our guide Adam was the best, very informative and everything ran so smoothly. And it was the best bunch of strangers that made up our group, all pitching in with cooking and cleaning. Adam made us feel safe for first time swag campers. The places we went on this trip were amazing, I've seen the Grand Canyon from all sides and KINGS canyon tops it. 10 out of 10 for this tour

Fantastic location,... - Fantastic location, perfect organization. The places visited are very beautiful. There are wake-ups before dawn, repaid by the fact of being able to see the sunrise and the places without other spectators and with some wild animals. The nights in the camp were exciting (very particular experience with the swag). Obviously you have to be ready to adapt, and be prepared for long hours on the bus, but sharing stories with other participants around the fire, having wild horses around and sleeping in the middle of the desert under the stars is spectacular. Our guide Deon was very professional, well organized, clear in his explanations and very friendly.

Amazing nature experience, even better guide - Giving this tour 5 stars driven equally by the wonderful experiences of the outback (Uluru, Kings Canyon, sleeping in a swag by the campfire in a really nice and cosy camp in the middle of nowhere), and the absolute outstanding guide Brent (might be spelled wrongly). Brent is probably the most smiling, charming and happy guide, we have ever had. Super good at accommodating everyone’s needs, and just making it a good and funny trip. Come for the nature and stay for Brent.

Unforgettable experience - With my family, we took a three-day tour with Autopia to go to Uluru. We went to Red Rock the first day, to Kata Tjuta the second and then to Kings Canyon the last day. We have really enjoyed this tour. We will remain these fond memories all our life. These three exceptional sites deserve money we’ve spend. And nights in campsites are really amazing. You can sleep in a tent with a roof or in a swag bag whom is perfect for stargazing. Besides, we were only 15 people in our tour, with a good ambiance. We emphasize only one weakness in that tour : the weak quality of food. Finally we want to say thank you to our amazing guide Shearna for her lovely mood. She was always dynamic, took care of us and did her best to make our experience as the best possible. Thank you again Shearna, keep going !! Alexandre, Cécile, Marc-Antoine & Pascale
