Australian Outback Tour Companies

Excelleng tour with a highly professional driver/guide.

I had an amazing time on the tour from Uluru to Adelaide! The group size was perfect, with 11 wonderful people who made the journey even more enjoyable. A special shoutout to our tour guide, Gary, whose helpfulness and uplifting energy kept the atmosphere vibrant throughout the trip! The camping spots were fantastic, with well-maintained showers and other facilities readily available at every stop. Even as someone who’s not a huge fan of camping, I found the entire journey surprisingly comfortable. Despite the significant amount of driving involved, the itinerary was packed with exciting adventures and fascinating places to explore. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a memorable and well-organized journey through the Outback!

Good trip with knowledgeable guide. Felt a bit rushed sometimes, and would have been nice for daily itinerary to be clearer in advance. Also would have appreciated some interaction with the local people, perhaps at the cultural centre, to better understand some of the Aboriginal culture.

What a great way to discover the Red Center! Everything was better than what I expected in this camping experience.. I won't lie to you, it's not for everyone, but if your adventurous spirit is still a bit alive somewhere inside you, this is the way to go. Our guide, Adam, went over and beyond my expectation: he knew everything, showed us all places and animals encountered; he told us many stories, legends and local folclore and believes... I am confident to say that without him, this would have been just another visited place. HE MADE THIS TRIP INTO SOMETHING UNFORGETTABLE AND MAGICAL. THANK YOU ADAM. Natacha V.

Very nice trip :-)))

Great trip with some really great people and a fantastic host. Such a beautiful place to visit, can't wait to go back. Thanks contiki!

Our guide, Ryan, was excellent. He was well organised and knowledgeable about the places he took us to see and very amiable too. We felt the tented accommodation needed some investment as our second tent had a leaking roof which meant our bedding got damp during the storm we had that night. It would also be helpful if they ran some power for proper lighting in the tents as many of the lanterns provided had no charge so we relied on our own torches or smart phone lights to see. The food provided was plentiful and of good quality and it is a shame that these easily fixable issues took the shine of what was otherwise a fantastic experience.

I booked a 3-day tour at Uluru and added an extra night – one of the best decisions of my trip! Our guide, Troy, was absolutely fantastic: he had extensive knowledge about the region, spoke multiple languages, and knew so much about the local wildlife and culture. Thanks to him, we spotted many animals I would have missed on my own. He was also an amazing cook and really brought the group together. Overall, it was one of the best tours I’ve done in Australia – highly recommended! I had an incredible time. Thank you, Troy, for this unforgettable experience at Uluru. 5 stars!

Our guide, Robert with Intrepid Travel was the most outstanding tour guide we’ve ever had. He was so enthusiastic, knowledgeable, caring and informative. He set a very high bar for any future guides.

Great tour for our family. Just the right amount of activity. Tour guide was great. Very organised and knowledgeable. Accomodation in permanent tents was good, especially the stretcher beds.

AATKings was a great tour company to use to tour the Uluru area because they took care of every detail from start to finish. They are very well organized and have thought of every detail from the time you leave the airport after collecting your luggage to returning you back to the airport for your flight home. Tour guides were friendly, professional, encouraging and knowledgeable. The Red Centre Short Break Tour hit some of the biggest highlights and was a comprehensive tour of the area. My only advice to people booking in the future is give yourself an extra day or two here if time isn’t an issue. We never got a relaxing day at the resort pool or an evening to have a nice leisurely dinner because every day was packed with activities. If you’re planning a trip to Uluru, use AAT Kings to take all the planning off your hands - you’ll be glad you did.

Trip had good accommodation, tours were well organised and with friendly staff.

This was an amazing tour. We saw everything! The Bungle Bungles was amazing and our own infinity pool at the top of Bell Gorge was something I will always remember. What I liked best about this tour is that we went up to the Dampier Peninsula and saw some amazing coastline. Most of the tours I reviewed didn't include this. The rock pool castle was fantastic. I also liked that we were in proper 4WD's and not on a bus. I didn't know if I could camp for 21 days but by the end we were so used to setting up it was like second nature. I would do another tour like this.

Fantastic guides, really great camping set up, meals and route. The cultural component was also appreciated.

Trekking with light luggage was comfortable, but I think the pace is a little too fast for Japanese people.

Itinerary for the 7day Alice Springs, ulura , McDonald Ranges & Kings Canyon was Fantastic. I am glad i saw it all. The communication was great, buses were AAT King so nice coaches. Only one thing- i thought i would be with the same people for the whole tour- not day trips (seems the Outback works that way)

Disappointed this was not a group tour as that is the way the description made it sound. Wanted to travel with the same set of people for the 8 days and make new friends. Had I have known it was piece mealed together I could have done the same thing and scheduled things better. As after we had paid in full the tour changed and we did not spend the night in West Mcdonald mountain range it was a waste of time to do a 7+ hour bus trip for a 1.5 hour riverbed water that required you to be on the bus at 4:30am after being on a tour the night before until 9:30pm. It could have been set up to only spend 3 nights in Alice Springs and 4nights in Ayer Rock, if they were not going to stay in W. Macdonald for the 1-night original advertised. The 2 tours of Alice Springs could have been all in one. The tours were all very good the one I already mentioned about.

The communication from Tour Radar once I booked and paid for the tour was appalling. It was so incredibly difficult to gain any information at all, I called, emailed, used their ‘preferred’ messaging system that promoted itself as 24/7 communication and would not hear from anyone for 3-5 days. I ended up calling Inspiring Journeys directly to find out what was happening. Once I arrived in Alice Springs, the day before the tour, there was no booking for me. The hotel staff had to ring on my behalf and fortunately found my name! I met other people on my tour in the hotel and they had a different itinerary, different meeting time, everyone was so confused. There was no welcome letter or information available. It was a comedy show… The tour itself was great, the 4WD vehicle was so comfortable and well stocked, the driver kept us safe, the accomodation was good, the experiences were fun, especially Under the Desert Moon and Outback BBQ. Our guide was like a deer in headlights, he knew his stuff but was so unapproachable and made no attempt to get to know anybody. Thankfully, our group was excellent and everyone hit it off. I will NEVER book with Tour Radar again

The Red Centre had always been on my bucket list and it was incredible! I 100% recommend travelling with Inspiring Journeys. I chose this tour as it was small group and our Driver Myles was so knowledgeable and ensured we were looked after every step of the way. We booked an extra night in Ayers Rock so we could do Field of Light - well worth it!
