Anyone with a pass to the national park could’ve easily done the walk themselves (flat and easy 12km) but it was fantastic to hear about the history and culture behind the significant site! The tour was very well organised- the bus was comfortable and punctual, and the tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Breakfast was provided in a little pouch you carry yourself which included muesli, milk, fruit cup and some sachets for tea and coffee and hot chocolate. Also provided was a flask with hot water which was a nice touch considering it was such a windy and cold morning! Would recommend this tour for those wishing to learn about the rock!

Great small group tour. Connor our guide was fantastic and was very knowledgeable about the local culture and the area. The tour was very well organised and all on time. Very nice simple breakfast while watching the sun rise over Uluru and then very informative walk into Mutijulu water hole before a drive around the base of Uluru. Would definitely recommend this tour.
