What a fantastic afternoon!! Our guides: Sebastion and Andy with Emu Run Experience gave us a premium tour of the Alice Springs highlights. Every stop was impressive! We learned so much...things we would not have known or been able to do on our own. We highly recommend!!!
The tour was very informative and covered the three stops as planned with a bonus ride to a memorial site about the town Our tour guide was delightful and covered the stops with great insight
Well run and interesting tour. Guide was informative and helpful Interesting places on tour and we enjoyed the tour
Professional Guide/Driver. Well informed person. Our needs were very well taken care of. We will recommend to family and friends.
I did an off train excursion from the Ghan. Scotty was an excellent guide and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the tour. However he went above and beyond to get me some much needed medication even delivering it to the train in his own time. Thank you so much Scotty.
Thanks for the fantastic review, Lyn! We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed your excursion and that Scotty made such a positive impact on your experience. Going the extra mile to get your medication shows true dedication! We’ll be sure to pass on your thanks to him. We hope to see you again on your next adventure! Regards, Patrick - CEO
It was a small group of 6 and Josie, the guide was well informed and very nice. The Royal Flying Doctors and the Alice Springs School of the Air were both fascinating. Telegraph Station was interesting. Was confused that the ANZAC memorial did not include a New Zealand flag as it is the Australia New Zealand army memorial. Josie gave us a wonderful commentary, answered all kinds of questions related to tour and otherwise and great suggestions for what else to do.
Was a very informative tour and saw all the main tour attractions around the town our tour guide Felipe was very friendly and accommodating and made sure we got the most out of our first trip to Alice Springs will definately be booking with them again
