Excellent customer service - I did an off train excursion from the Ghan. Scotty was an excellent guide and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the tour. However he went above and beyond to get me some much needed medication even delivering it to the train in his own time. Thank you so much Scotty.

Informative - It was a small group of 6 and Josie, the guide was well informed and very nice. The Royal Flying Doctors and the Alice Springs School of the Air were both fascinating. Telegraph Station was interesting. Was confused that the ANZAC memorial did not include a New Zealand flag as it is the Australia New Zealand army memorial. Josie gave us a wonderful commentary, answered all kinds of questions related to tour and otherwise and great suggestions for what else to do.
