We travelled with Mahesh as our guide. We found that he was difficult to understand due to his accent. The bus had a torn up floor when you stepped in so could be a tripping hazard. Even though some members of our party had mobility problems, we felt that he was not 100% considerate with the pace of walking. One member did not wish to walk up a steep path due to health reasons, but he insisted and took them up. We ended up finishing our trip early due to health reasons and he did offer to take us the next day to finish it but we could not. Overall a good way to see Alice Springs but would not go again.

Was an excellent tour, very knowledgeable, plus we achieved more than the itinerary the bonus near the 3nd was an unexpected afternoon tea.

Mahesh was fantastic tour guide and story teller. He regaled us with the history of Alice Springs and a feast at Jessie Gap.

Patricia_M

Best part was the telegraph station, otherwise most of the tour was boring. Tour guide was very knowledgeable though. If you like museums then do this tour. Wasn’t much to really see in Alice springs.

Mahesh was so knowledgeable and the tour was extremely interesting.. we feel we got a great overview of Alice Springs and it’s history in the afternoon. A must do if you want a half day experience plus a lovely snack set up in the bush. Highly recommend.

Kerry E

Mahesh was very informative & entertaining. He took us to all the highlights of Alice Springs with some fun & frivolity in between. We finished the day at sunset on ANZAC Hill

Recorrimos muchos lugares interesantes. El problema fue con la buseta, pues mi amiga dejó su jacket dentro mientras subíamos y bajamos para conocer. De repente la misma desapareció, porque el conductor hacia otros fletes mientras nos dejaba en algún lugar. Algún pasajero la tomó. Recomendación. Cuiden sus pertenencias.
