Great experience with super nice guide Jim (Gemma) - We had a very nice experience and our tour guide Jim (Gemma) was really great and enthusiastic 😃. She took care of everything and told a lot about the history and fauna👍 We had beautifull walks and our group was also very nice. The only negative remark is that the foam mattresses at the camp grounds need to be replaced because some of them were really bad 😫 So our rating of excellent is for Jim and the walks 👍 Greetings Bianca and Marlie

Unforgettable - Just been on a trip with Autopia Tours Red Center Kata Tjuta to Kings Canyon. A great trip, can be highly recommended, our guide and driver Jim, she does a great job, from early morning to late evening. Read from 4 am to 9 pm She stood for both morning awakening, cooking, driving and an incredible knowledge of wildlife, geology and the ancient tales and legends that the Aborigines have held for centuries. Just want to say it's his thing to drive such a bus, on hollow ground roads. Had to upgrade my trip with an extra day, the day I found out there was one. On the last day, we went to Ellys Creek Big Hole, where we had a refreshing water. Super guide, great company and perfect weather. 18 stars from here ⭐️

Great Adventure - It really felt like a roadtrip with friends! Our Guides Jenn & Josie were competent, friendly and gave a lot of background information about the sights, plants and animals of the Outback. Internet signal is better than expected, but of course there are a lot of black spots along the tour. You can also charge your phones on the bus and at the campsites (if solar pannels could create energy through sun). You should be aware, that a certain fitness level is needed to be able to deal with the hikes and temperatures! We highly recommend this Tour!

A unique and once in a lifetime experience - We just got back from this tour and it was a unique experience that we will remember for a very long time. Our guide, Ashley, took fantastic care of us and looked after our well-being. However, guests who book this tour should be aware of a few things: it is not a walk in the park, you need to be physically fit and be able to tolerate heat well. We were there in mid-October, in spring, and it was up to 40 degrees celsius (100 degrees fahrenheit). Getting up early (04:00) is a must in these temperatures and to watch the sunrise. The camps are simply furnished, some with showers that are heated with wood. It is also a very long drive from Alice Springs to the sights. Ash always made plenty of stops for coffee and toilet breaks. He always informed us about the programme in detail and gave us lots of interesting details about the plants, animals and inhabitants. So if you are up for an adventure and enjoy hiking (3 tours between 2-4 hours and some climbs), you will get your money's worth. However, those who prefer to stay in an air-conditioned hotel and swim in the pool should not go on this tour. After all, this is the Australian outback

Great tour, wonderful scenery, best tour guide :) - If you have time for a tour for 3 days and want to get the most out of it, that's the best decision! Our tour guide Ash was well informed and always kept us happy with snacks and his open and funny manner! Thanks to him our tour was a complete success:) By the way, this was my first guided tour on a holiday and was really positively surprised as this is not my first choice for Trips otherwise. But maybe my group and I just got lucky with such a great tour guide;) Thanks, Ash!

A delightful experience - My husband and I did the 3 day/2 night Red Centre experience. Alex was our guide. We had such a great time. Be prepared for early wakeups and to help out with meals and more. There were 21 of us, of varying ages, endurance and eagerness to pitch in. By the last day we were tired, happy and stunned by all we had seen and done. We even made some new friends. We were so impressed with Alex’s ability to do it all. She is an absolute pleasure. She kept us on track, drove the rig, arranged for our meals, ensured our safety, and made sure we understood the important details of the sacred places we visited. We will remember this adventure for many years to come.

Fabulous, gorgeous, Fantastic - Shearna was our hardworking energy bunny of a guide. She was filled with fabulous information about the geology, plant and animal life and had a sharp sense of humor!! The group all helped each other out and enjoyed each other’s company!! The second nights camp sight near kings canyon was extra special with our own private campground just for our group, wood fired boiler for hot showers and a lovely sight for sunset! The hikes were progressively more difficult and each day was spectacular!! Highly recommend

Travel from Alice Springs to Uluru to Kata Tjuta to Kings Canyon back to Alice Springs with Sanne - How do I describe this trip? We were picked up by Sanne early in the morning (6am), then drove to pick up others from the airport at Yulara, as well as the township. With everyone onboard, we made a cultural stop at the centre to learn about the area, followed by a breathtaking whistle-stop tour of the majestic Uluru. Getting up close and personal to this magnificent structure makes one realise the innate sacredness of Uluru, and you immediately understand the decision to close down the walk to the top of the rock. To me, it really did seem that it was simply way too sacred to set foot on. Just being in its presence was awe-inspiring! Another really early start saw us at the incomparable Kata Tjuta to view daybreak, then sunrise from the first lookout, followed by a leisurely stroll to the second lookout. For those that wanted to continue the full circuit were given the opportunity, with Sanne giving us credit for knowing which way we wanted to go and supporting our decision to enable that to happen. A stop in Yulara for a hot chocolate was a welcomed break, then it was off to Atila and the Salt Lake on Curtin Springs Station at Petermann for a viewing of both, before driving to Kings Creek Station for the night. Another early start saw us at Kings Canyon for a 6km walk around the rim before returning to Kings Creek Station for lunch. Even though we got drenched, it was spectacular and easily doable. It was probably better than walking in full sunlight! We then drove back to Alice Springs to recover from the action-packed tour. Although this was marketed as a backpackers tour, and we were the oldest, by far, in the group, it was brilliant and easily doable. The group was very cohesive, even with a 51-year disparity in ages. Sanne's knowledge was impressive for a young lady, and she handled herself and everyone else with ease. The days were very long with extremely early starts, but I always figure that there's no time like the present to cross off everything on your bucket list. You could be dead tomorrow, so don't wait! If you are lucky enough to get Sanne as your guide, then you will have the best time ever. Just do it!!! Thank you so much, Sanne. We hope to see you again soon.
