Fantastic day out! Our tour guide Orion was fun, helpful and super informative! Good amount of time spent in each spot. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone - a really good way to see the highlights the tablelands have to offer!

Scottie our driver/ guide was excellent. He provided a great commentary the whole tour and interacted well with us. It was a long tour but considering the distances needed to travel to see highlights, it was worthwhile.
