Lovely way to spend a morning - Great short tour if you want highlights of the stunning West Macs and a general intro to the Alice Springs area. Our guide Ruben was very knowledgeable and generous with his insights into the land, wildlife, culture and life in Alice Springs. The scenery is beautiful and there's enough time to wander around each site (all very easy for any fitness level). Then still enough time left in the day to explore the town - or do the guided town tour if you want.

Wonderfuly 1/2 day tour to MacDonnell Ranges - 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!

Wonderful trip - 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.
