This was a fabulous tour!! Our guide was awesome. Informative and the afternoon tea was great! The walking trails were not to long or short.

I was with a small group of travellers enjoying a wonderful sunny day wandering thru the two walking trails. I would recommend wearing bug nets over your hats to keep the little peskie flies away. Scenery was amazing. The trail wasn't busy which was good as it allowed us more room to explore and take photos without alot of people in our pictures. Matt, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and provided us with plenty of history about the ranges. Enjoyed scones and or your choice of tea, coffee, hot chocolate after the walk which was great.Although it was a short tour, I was able to head back to the hotel, relax around and pool and enjoy the rest of the day. Super tour!

David, our guide, knew so much about Alice Springs - amazing! A comfortable, small van ride with tea and scones at the Park.

Great trip that gave us time to take in the scenery and finish each of the walks without rushing us from one place to another. The driver guide was really knowledgeable and made the experience even better with his commentary. Scones were freshly baked , coffee could have been better. A perfect introduction to the area. Highly recommended.

Excellent driver/guide. Why are you forcing me to say more. Viator is annoying me with emails and texts.
