After doing a tour with heading bush 5 years ago trough the Finders, I knew, if I will be back in Australia, I have to do this 10 Day Tour. Our guide, Angie, was great. She has a big knowleg of the region,australia in general and aboriginal topics. We were a small groupe, which was great. But if you go at this time of the year be prepared, like I was. It can be around 0-5 degress at night and 20-25 during the day. But that's the Outback in winter. I loved it. If you would like not just to see the Outback rather feeling it. That's the Tour to do. Just go for it!!!

What an amazing experience we had on this tour with Simon & Rob! From the moment they picked us up in Alice, they were so friendly, accomodating, knowledgeable & fun! My partner & I were travelling with family and Simon & Rob went above and beyond to be inclusive to all the needs of the group (vegetarian, walking arrangements etc). We also had the most wonderful group & really jelled together to make a tour family which made the trip even more incredible. We are only sad that the tour ended so soon, wish we could have stayed longer! Simon & Rob had abundant knowledge on all aspects of the N.T, the food was delicious and plenty, the many experiences such as the campfires & walking tours were incredible and really added to the overall experience. We truly enjoyed our experience & we hope to book a Kakadu tour soon with Simon & Rob ! Thanks again guys :)

If you like a road trip this is great. I enjoyed watching the scenery from Alice to Uluru. Our driver, Barry, was professional and friendly. He provided interesting commentary through our journey. I liked the fact the road stops that served food had good coffee which is super important to me. The coach was comfortable to travel in.

wow !! Such a great trip with very knowledgable Paul (meatloaf) & enthusiastic, very helpful young Elliot who were our tour guides. Elliott was great help to us 'oldies' on the walks & had great concern for all the members of the group (young & old)..we had to change our itinerary around abit because of Anzac Day holiday & some were dissapointed as they couldn't go on the optional flight..but it meant we could see & do other things along the way E.g, visit the war cemetary at Adelaide River !! The standing tents were clean & functional -although the ones at Litchfield Park were fairly open & we had a very cold night with only 1 blanket supplied for 2 in a twin share!! but the other two nights were more comfortable... My advice for others going on this tour is to rug up at Litchfield & to take a bath towel along with your beach towel -as only the camp at Katherine supplied one!! The camp kitchens were such fun with the group helping with preparing food & cleaning up ...everyone got on really well & Kakadu National park was spectacular!!
