Amazing fun day - A few things to say... They are super professional and their busses are modern. It is a 4.5 hour drive each way, so I got back to Alice Springs at 1 AM, but so worth it. The Rock is beautiful and their guide took us all around it stopping at interesting spots to walk around. Shortly before sunset they have everything set up for a huge BBQ, we have steak.

Highly Recommended - Uluru was at the top of my bucket list for our visit to Australia. This tour did not disappoint. After lunch and shopping on our own at Yulara, we made several stops to see the water hole and other points of interest. The guide was very informative and gave clear information about how strenuous the various activities were. He also told us which side of Uluru is most sacred to the aboriginal people and asked us to refrain from photographing it. After the tour, the guides turned into chefs and prepared our BBQ of steaks and sausages. It was delicious! The sunset views were magnificent!!! This trip makes for a long day (7 a.m. pickup and 1 a.m. drop off) from Alice Springs, but there’s no question that we would highly recommend it.

Perfect day! - John our driver was amazing and shared a ton of information and stories. Yad our guide was very knowledgeable and explained everything. The sunset dinner was nice and Uluru is amazing! Emu Run is the company to travel with because they are still small enough that they care about every individual guest!

It's worth it!! - It's really worth the strenuous ride. A wonderful experience. The walks on the Uluru were very revealing and the crowning glory was the barbecue (with many other groups) at sunset.

A great trip - Great day out. Although a long day it is well worth it. We had a hiccup on the way there but this was dealt with and we continued to enjoy our trip. Well done to Miguel :) All staff were amazing and knowledgeable adding to the day. The weather was a bit grey but this did not detract from our enjoyment. A great BBQ to finish the day and watch the sun set. Would highly recommend.

Double rainbow - It was a perfect trip and we saw a lot and learned interesting things. Finally, there was a BBQ with sunset and a great double rainbow. Although the trip took a long time, it was completely worth it.

A long day, but worth it! - Uluru is a must to see…very spiritual or cool, no matter what you are looking for. But expect a LONG day. I enjoyed the fact the tour was bigger for this length, made so many friends and by the time it was dinner it was like family. Surprisingly the steak was LEGIT! Very surprising. Lesson learned though, was trying to be polite and avoid the line. Some people went up for seconds before I even got firsts and some of the food had run out. There was still plenty to eat, certain people got greedy with particular plates….like on kid had about 30 cherry tomatoes. Sunset is amazing, if you have a GoPro make sure to use your Timelapse.

Amazing day trip, truly Australian experience - Amazing experience! Great views and exceptional guidance, highly recommended! Uluru is a truly magnificent place and I was very happy with my choice, only thing I’d recommend is to consider combining the Kata Tjutas as well, which we only saw from the road. Sunset BBQ was a great way to finish the day with amazing outback sceneries and naturally the rock itself. Be prepared for long rides to and from Alice Springs, approximately 5 hours each direction
