This was a great tour to see maximum in just 3 days. Alice Springs came as a surprise. Visit to Anzac hill in repeated on two days which was unnecessary. Tour driver / guides were very good. Uluru sunset and sunrise were memorable. We also got a free upgrade in our hotel at Ayers Rock resort. This tour is great because the time in well utilized from landing in Alice to departure from Ayers rock.

The parts we attended were great, but unfortunately unexpected outback rains cancelled the MacDonnells Range portion of the tour. If I had to do it over again, I would stay at the top of line hotel, because the Crowne Plaza was nice, but a little ways from downtown. We had to wade across that flooded road to get back! And since the bus ride is so long from Alice Springs to Ayers Rock Resort, I was glad it was a one way trip instead of returning to Alice.
