Super special. Really worth it. - What a place. The Valley of the Winds was thrilling. Our guides were three young women - Italian, English and Australian - who did their best to meld our small group of five. But it was the walk that was so special. There is no photography permitted in the Valley of the Winds because this is a sacred men's site. Somehow this makes it even more special. You are forced to be present not TAKE pictures and instead take it in.
If you have the time and have a reasonable degree fitness (because there is some rock scrambling and hiking a bit uphill) do this tour.

Breathtaking views, great tour guides. - The valley of the winds hike was my favourite in the park. It isn't hard if you are moderately fit and go in the morning before it gets hot. You do need proper hiking shoes/boots thigh as the trail is very rocky.
Dan the tour guide was a great communicator. He gave us insight into the geological and cultural history of Kata-Tjuta.
We were well looked after and the views were stunning. Well worth it.

“Valley of the Winds tour is a must-do.” - The tour guide, Jim, was fantastic, and AAT King had excellent area knowledge. This time, I did the Walpa Gorge part with my mum (80). But if you are fit, you must do the Valley of Winds, as it's the best hike I have ever done.

Kata Juta - Kata Juta is a mesmerising experience. We went on a small group tour and enjoyed every bit of it. Walking shoes is a must. Our tour guide provided us water bottles.

Well worth the early morning start 🌅 - Watching the sunrise over Uluru and a rainbow over Kata Tjuta as it was raining are memories we will never forget. Such an accomplishment to complete the walk through the Valley of the Winds and be 1% who get to see streams and waterfalls in Kata Tjuṯa. The guided tour by AAT Kings was excellent and due to weather conditions was adapted accordingly to our abilities.

Best one of our 4 tours😀 - We loved this tour! The sunrise views of Ulura & Kata Tjuṯa were amazing. The hike was tough but so worth the effort. Our guides, Glen, Rob, Tim, Christine, Col were outstanding. Glen’s knowledge & personal life experiences he shared with our group was the best part of our experience. We highly recommend booking this trip!!!

Live in the moment! - This was a tour worth doing and the early start really makes a difference because you finish just before the day gets extremely hot. Our tour guide Glen was an absolute legend. Funny, friendly and knowledgable, he really made this good tour, great. Jessie was at the back with the stragglers (us) but made our time equally enjoyable with his knowledge and hospitality.
Glen's mantra was to live in the moment and the most memorable part of the trip was when we sat down in the valley facing these amazing rock formations and he simply told us to keep silent for 10 minutes. This really captured the tranquility of the environment when you could hear the sounds of the wildlife and outback. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic sunrise experience……..walks more difficult than expected from the Viator description and pictures - This tour was a brilliant experience. The sunrise didn’t disappoint, in fact it was far more beautiful than i had expected.
Our tour guides Michelle and Lucy, were very knowledgeable, and approachable, and they bought the whole thing to life.
If i have a negative comment, it would be that the tour description on Viator, doesn’t give any indication on how difficult the two walks are. It would be useful to know this before embarking on the tour, as footwear, clothing and temperature are all important factors to consider. I did the easier walk into the gorge, and found that difficult in places due to an issue with my knee. Had i known the grading of the walks when booking the tour, i would have booked a different sunrise tour, however the tour itself deserves a 5 stars for the overall experience, and effort from our tour guides to make it special.

They did not provide water and insulted me - Compared to other tours we did, this was by far the worst. We were provided with no water. When I gave feedback that the operator should advise tourists to bring their own water - Will the guide told me it was common sense and it was my fault. As a result we were told we couldn’t go on the walking tour. Other tours I went on provided water, sparking wines and refreshments. This one however was a real disappointment.
