The driver/tour guide was well informed and looked after travelers very well. He also had extra water on board to fill drink bottles when required, which is a necessity when travelling in the outback.

This is one of the best trips we've ever taken. The organization was great and the bus driver/tour guide's comments throughout he trip were quite informative. The scenery was magnificent.

We enjoyed the trip, and the accommodation at Desert Springs Resort was very nice, better than we expected.

Review by: Peter A, United Kingdom	May 2008
The trip was extremely good, and in particular our driver had an incredible knowledge, both self taught and researched, of the Aborigine people, their culture, and their customs. We were, however, disappointed with The Sails in the Dessert, because it took us nearly two hours to get checked into our room, which left us with only fifteen minutes before we were being picked up again. In addition, we would have liked to have seen Kings Canyon, which I believe would have been feasible had a little more thought gone into the planning of the trip's timetable. Overall, it was an experience we will never forget and will be pleased to promote your tours to our friends when they visit.
