Simply put - wonderful!
It was great and all of the hikes were manageable - even by 2 55+ year olds who are not particularly fit. All of the named sights were excellent and the exclusive campsites on tribal land were beautifully kept and we had a great time stargazing around the fires in great surroundings. Our guide, CJ was passionate, knowledgeable and made the whole tour a very special and unforgettable experience. Many thanks!

Spectacular
The tour was really well organised and the pace was perfect. We got to spend enough time at each place to really enjoy it. The ranges are spectacular!
Lunch and a drink are provided/ the burgers were really good.
Our guide Emily was friendly and a wealth of knowledge about the ranges, the flora and history.
Highlights were Stanley Chasm, seeing rock wallabies and walks to the water holes. I would highly recommend this tour.

Set n Forget
Every need is met, a set n forget experience. Experiencing the red centre with Autopia was very easy and educational whilst offering the opportunity to push one's own envelope.

Very picturesque and interesting tour
Great trip to see the West MacDonnell Ranges including Simpson’s Gap, Standley Chasm, Ellery Creek Big Hole, where there was time for a swim, The Ochre Pits for a demonstration of how the ochre was collected and prepared, Ormiston Gorge, where there was a picturesque view of the Gorge from the lookout, almost 300 steps to the top.
Lunch was at Standley Chasm where we had a choice from the Menu board and also a drink. Morning tea was provided on the vehicle, fruit bars, mandarins, apples and mixed lollies, these were available all day.
All sites had extremely amazing scenery and was totally great value.
We left at 7:30am returning back to the Hotel about 6pm.

Awesome day trip—Great pace, plenty of food options and beautiful views!
If you are in Alice Springs, you definitely have to do this tour to the West MacDonnell Ranges. The bus was super comfortable and the whole ride felt really smooth. What I loved about the itinerary is that it gives you plenty of short, well-timed stops to just hop off, enjoy the scenery, and take photos without feeling rushed at all. The walking tracks at both Simpsons Gap and Standley Chasm are very flat, well-kept, and easy to walk, so you can just enjoy the outback at your own pace. Standing inside Standley Chasm right at noon when the sunlight hits the 80-meter rock walls and turns them bright orange was incredible.Another huge plus was the lunch. It had a lot of different options to choose from, which you don't usually expect on a remote tour like this. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. Definitely worth every single dollar! 5 stars.

The real Australia!
Where should I start? This was the first time we booked a multi-day tour on vacation and what a success it was! I can hardly describe how much fun I had here! This tour showed the real outback, which is much more than just Ayers Rock! You will be immersed in nature and wild animals for four days! Camping makes everything extra special. Go to sleep under the stars! Waking up in the most remote places! And then there was our fantastic tour guide! Sanne! What a wonderful person! We felt so much knowledge about the animals, the plants, the passion they have for the outback at every moment, which made our experience even better! I am so happy that I booked this tour! I would highly recommend this if you like camping, visiting places where there are few or no tourists!

Andrew is a chill guy....
Andrew is a chill guy. Sometimes, you have to enjoy the trip yourself so you can bring that happiness to the traveler. I went swimming because of him. He bought us coffee and burgers from a local shop. what a luxurious treat while touring.
