From kangaroo tail to wichetty grub snacks and Uluru close up and desert roads the trip was a true outback experience. Great guides and small group.

The places we went to were amazing, especially being able to go on the land of the Anangu people and watching the sunset from the viewing dunes with an amzing view of Uluru and Kata-Tjuta. However, I hoped to learn more about the culture of the Anangu people or even about the places we visited. Even though the guide was really nice and enthousiastic, she did not tell us much about the places we visited which I would expect from a guide. The traditional owner of the land who was with us only spoke a few words of English and did not speak much either. The tour was a bit disappointing in that regard.

I did an aboriginal tour with my sister and we loved it. The tour guides were very nice and caring and provided a lot of knowledge about the local plants and animals. The stories the aboriginal guide told us, we're also really interesting. A very unique experience getting to know the aboriginal history. Would highly recommend it.

Very interesting afternoon. Learning about Anangu culture, plants which give honey and sweet nectar and digging for maku.

The SeeIt guides Matt and Georgia were amazing. From the time they picked us up until returning us to our camp ground they were professional, fun, knowledgeable, great driver. They cared for us in every way possible to make us comfortable. The Anangoo guide Sammy was a great representative for the First Nation people. He made us feel welcome in his country. The afternoon tea time was a great experience as Sammy educated us on Uluṟu history. Seeing wild camels was amazing. The culmination of the excursion was the spectacular sunset seen from a special site on Aboriginal land.

This was simply an amazing opportunity to spend time with an aboriginal community leader sharing his experiences of the land and culture and family history.

This was the best tour at Uluru as we learned of the many significant places in the aboriginal homelands. It was lead by Sammy Wilson who is an elder of the aboriginal community as well as a board member of Uluru Park. He killed an iguana and cooked it for us.

We loved every minute of this adventure. Both Kayla and Ken were absolutely wonderful- authentically themselves, kind, informative, and lively. And Kayla is a very good driver! I don’t want to tell you too much because it is so good to let the whole adventure just unfold. One thing I will say is that spending time with Ken gave us a lot of insight into Anangu culture. It’s true that we went to marvel at the landscape, but ended up truly appreciating the people.

Simply the best tour I have done. It is a must do if you are coming to Uluru. You get to learn from a local anangu (indigenous) elder who's family's traditional lands are around Uluru. From pick up at the hotel until drop off in the afternoon, you are taken care of the entire time. You are taken onto traditional aboriginal lands and learn about indigenous culture, stories, bush tucker and bush medicine. I had the honour of being on one of these tours with local anangu elder - the one and only Sammy Wilson! I had bought his family's book I am Uluru and was lucky enough to get him to sign it and had my photo taken with him. I had a wonderful time learning directly from Sammy. He told us many stories about his family and pointed out areas of interest throughout the day and we even had a few laughs throughout the tour group. I even got to try some bush tomatoes! We had a lovely morning tea of tea and italian fruit cake with sammy telling us more stories. We stopped for some views of Uluru as well. We had a light lunch at the cultural centre as well. A thoroughly enjoyable time spent learning directly from a local elder. It was very inspiring and I learnt a lot! I will definitely do this again when I am back at Uluru.
