    The visit of Uluru and Kings Canyon were very high on my list of places to visit in Australia. Unfortunately, the qualifications of Ronaldo, our tour guide, did not meet my expectations. I understand this tour is on a very tight schedule. A skillful tour guide is capable to get everyone to keep up the pace without feeling the constant pressure. It was stressful the way the directives were communicated. The directives were also unclear. Also, the information he shared about the history was not interesting to listen to as he was constantly repeating himself. These comments were acknowledged by other fellow travellers.
