What people love about Family Tours in Red Centre
- 【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)
It was better than we expected, the landscape and vegetation green and alive and rain on Uluru with it’s waterfalls were something very few people experience

I would highly recommend this tour to any one thinking about it as it was brilliant
