Good value for money spent... loved the enthusiasm of our guide and most of all, sleeping under the stars. No regrets booking with The Rock Tour or through ntstandby.

Wow! What a tour. Loved every minute of it. Uluru, King's canyon etc blew my mind. I liked the low key outback experience & camping under the stars. Scott our guide was great both on the driving & the cooking!! Would definitely recommend it & booking through NTstandby made it a very simple process altogether.

Fun tour geared toward a younger audience and wonderfully helpful when our flight in got delayed! Wish the group would have been a little bit smaller, but there was always enough activity, food and space for everyone. Thanks!

Great tour, lots of information provided by the guide. We however had expected a bit more interaction with the aboriginals. But apart from that, thumbs up.
