Great tour - very well run - Chloe was an excellent guide and Lincoln a great driver/guide. The tour was really well run and enjoyable. We had enough time at each of the stops to be able to take in the sights and scenery.

KataTjuta is less well known than Uluru but we feel even more beautiful. - Wonderful desert scenery and a challenging small hike. A comfortable but ride to Kata Tjuṯa with an experienced and helpful guide. Less well know that Uluru/Ayers Rock but even more beautiful.

A lovely time and adventure. - The friendly and professional conduct of the staff. The guide Nerida and driver (?) were informative without being drones just rattling off facts. The staff were quite entertaining and passengers mingled well. It goes without saying, but, the locations are amazing. Definitely something we would do again.

Great Excursion to Uluru and Kata Tjuta - I had limited time in Uluru so this was a perfect way to see everything. The big bus isn't ideal- lots of people to manage- but it was a great excursion.

Come for the sights. Close your ears to the commentary - You can't beat the sight of these magical, stunning rock . If you've only got half a day to take in the magnificence of Uluru and Kata Tjuṯa then this is a good option. We saw sunrise at Uluru and it was amazing to see that rock emerge out of the darkness. The breakfast is a bit of a joke...some biscuits and a tea bag. But who cares! A short walk into Kata Tjuṯa. Again amazing. BUT the tour commentary is not what we ought to receive in 2024. It was white settler racism. Examples: White people thought aboriginal people needed "protection". Aboriginal people did not understand cattle on pastoral lands were not theirs. There was no mention that land was stolen from aboriginal people, that their children were stolen. How on earth does AAT tours get away with this? Just do better guys. We can tell a truthful story without spoiling the view.

Good but could be better. - It was great seeing the sunrise on Uluru but we had to leave just as the sun hit the rock. Not enough time here for photos of changing colours.
Kata Tjuta was only a walk in to the gorge platform and walk back out, nothing else. The guide was good and informative. Tour should at least be a bit longer at Uluru and perhaps a breakfast instead of coffee and biscuits as its so early and for the cost of the tour.

Terrible - The tour company did not pick me up at the hotel. No refund offered. I was at pick up location 15 minutes early, 75 people waiting for 4 buses. I asked each bus driver if I was on list. They all said no.
