Red Centre Family Trips/Tours Reviews
- 【Alice Springs】Uluru Ayers Rock & Kings Canyon 8 Days Touring Package
Itinerary for the 7day Alice Springs, ulura , McDonald Ranges & Kings Canyon was Fantastic. I am glad i saw it all. The communication was great, buses were AAT King so nice coaches. Only one thing- i thought i would be with the same people for the whole tour- not day trips (seems the Outback works that way)
- 3 Day Uluru Kata-Tjuta Kings Canyon (Camping) - From Alice Springs
Ben was THE Most incredibly gracious, kind, and friendly host. He ensured that we all felt safe and he truly cultivated an amazingly memorable experience that helped the group, as a whole, bond and connect. Our dinners were lovely, and that bonfire in Kings Creek was the best night! I feel as though I walked away with many new friends! I highly recommend this tour and Ben!!!!!
- Uluru & Kings Canyon Adventure
Tents no hassle, well organised. Passionate tour guide Robbie went above & beyond to pack a lot in. A great story teller. Flies a nuisance but hey, that’s part of the Aussie experience!
