“Michael was an excellent tour guide. Lots of enthusiasm and energy at 5am pick up. It was lovely seeing his passion and hearing his knowledge. Michael brought everything you need for an outback adventure, looking after us by supplying water and those beautiful frozen, lemon grass towels. Great sites and enjoyable walk around Uluru.”
