Very professional experience. Guides were informative and helpful. Coaches were comfortable and air conditioned. Need to check the day before what time the tour leaves, as times vary throughout the year. Emails I received with pickup time was different to the actual pickup time.

The most you can possibly make out of a one day trip to the outback :) it was a really lovely tour, that included all the must-do‘s! Especially the tour guide Glen and the driver Martin made the experience unique! Can highly recommend!
