Specifically the two tour guides Glen and driver Michael were superb. Interesting, funny, knowledgeable, inclusive and good company. They provided a poignant and fascinating commentary to the tour.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the tour and the insights Mitch provided. It’s great that you were comfortable in the air-conditioned bus and stayed hydrated throughout the day as it is very important specially in a hot day in Uluru. We appreciate your feedback about the stools and will keep that in mind for future tours. Even though the sunset wasn’t as expected, we're glad you were able to enjoy the lightning, nature can certainly surprise us! We hope you had a memorable experience overall and thank you again for your thoughtful review!

Awesome experience.
AATKings provided a fabulous guide Michelle and driver Andrew. Comfortable 3-4 hour trip to Kings Canyon, with informative commentary, mostly on the way back.
Make sure to take 3 litres of water, not allowed to do the 3-4 hour trek without it. And get the national Park pass $10 prior, we got ours when we booked tour.
The start of the trek is the hardest, starts with 500 stairs going straight up. Rest stops along the way, pace yourself.
Beautiful views, some water holes (swimming not permitted / sacred sites) clear signed tracks.
Highly recommend but be fit to do so.

I booked the Uluru morning base walk tour months in advance online. AAT King staff provided clear instructions via email regarding where to meet on the morning of the departure, and our coach arrived promptly as described. My wife and I actually went on the tour yesterday and it was awesome! We had an unusually small group of only 10 people, so everyone was able to ask questions and actively participate. Our tour guide Glen and driver Col were absolute superstars! Glen was extraordinarily kind and engaging. His masterful stories really made our experience memorable. Col is a skilled coach driver as well as a wonderful photographer. Tour also included a late morning breakfast with coffee/tea, biscuits, fruit and cereal. Glen also offered us apples and other foods prior to starting the long walk, which was much appreciated. Kudos to both of these gentlemen for a job well done!

After arriving and wanting to fill my itinerary.
I made my way to the information centre in Town Square Uluṟu.
Walking in you are greeted with lovely people at the front desk that will direct you to the appropriate counter.
Approaching the AAT Counter the delightful lady working (forgot her name AR:5171334_2)Thank you.
was very patient, smiling and explaining the tours that we wanted to do.
She booked everything and upgraded an existing booking.
Pickup was prompt, the staff are amazing- like it was their first day on the job with everyone. And not hurrying you to get on the bus.
My partner proposed to me in the middle of the tour and the staff were just as excited and took photos for us💍
I can’t wait for our next holiday and will be checking that I can do it with AATKings.

We spent a couple of days visiting the Uluru-Kata Tjuta national park, and took three tours with AAT Kings: the Uluru sunrise/Kata Tjuta tour, the Uluru sacred sites/sunset/BBQ dinner tour, and the Field of Light sunrise tour. All of them were exceptional - well organised, well executed, well catered - and the tour guides were superb. They shared interesting information, and were thoughtful and attentive to all guests and their needs. We were lucky to be looked after by many members of the AAT Kings team, but special thanks go to Hayley, Lucy, Rob and Colin for looking after us so well.

I went on two trips with AAT Kings whilst staying in Uluru and honestly I could not recommend them enough. Everything is extremely well organised but the most impressive was the acknowledge the guides have of the area. They were clearly passionate about what they do and it just made the whole trip even more interesting. The Kings Canyon day trip and rim walk was outstanding and probably the unexpected highlight of my trip, despite the 4am start! It’s an absolute must do in my opinion. If you’re fit definitely do the rim walk. The first 10 minutes was the hardest but then you just enjoy the day! It was outstanding and our guide John was fantastic and clearly loves what he does.
The sunset trip to Kata Tjuṯa was also an unexpected surprise. You think this trip is all about Uluru (which is amazing of course) but this was fabulous and the colours are incredible. We had a guide who was relatively new (Renee) but again she was full of knowledge and very passionate about what she does. This has made me definitely look at AAT Kings for my next adventure which will hopefully be The Kimberley’s. A huge 10/10 from me. Thank you to everyone who made this trip so special.

Agreat day out. The 4am start is a small sacrifice for such a memorable day.Even the 3 hour bus trip to Kings Canyon was interesting, we saw camels, brumbies, and cattle, including a large bull crossing the road right in front of the bus! The buffet breakfast was excellent. Kings Canyon was spectacular! Well worth seeing.
10 out of 10 for the tour guides
A faultless effort by both of them, they were calm, polite, friendly, funny at times, always engaging . They were interesting to listen to, telling stories about the history of the area, the landscape, its people, the plants and animals that live and lived there, their knowledge of the area would have made David Attenbrough proud. Outstanding! Well done Jacob and Glen, a fantastic day out.

Drivers Tony and Jess in particular were very professional and friendly

WE loved every moment of the Tour. A Big shout out to our guide - Glen who was friendly, knowledgeable and had an amazing sense of humour. His amazing commentary and anecdotes greatly enhanced the experience. The Driver Frank was also amazing and he also acted as our guide for the creek walk (for people who did not want the complete rim walk- which is around 8 kms and has 500 steps) . A full day tour but was very nice.

So we got up at 4am to a fabulous light show - lightning. Drove to the viewing spot to enjoy a nice hot cup of coffee only to find that the tables had blown away in the storm taking our coffee with them.
We managed to stay on the bus to avoid getting drenched - there was nothing to see anyway as the storm clouds were obscuring the sun.
Then onto the next stop where we did manage a walk in the rain to look ot the gorge.
On a serious note - if the weather is unkind, there is NOTHING to do in the resort.

The viewing area is a little further away than expected but it was still beautiful and we were the only bus load of people at the viewing area making it easy to get your own spot.
The staff were great and very informative.

The day was long but the bus was very comfortable driven by Colin who was friendly and cheerful. Our tour director John was a crack up and very knowledgable. He was considerate to everyone and made our day very enjoyable. There was a surprisingly good hot breakfast included once we were almost there and then the hike (Rim walk) was the absolute highlight. It was challenging at the beginning but anyone with general fitness could easily do it. Rarely have I been on a hike where the scenery is breathtaking the entire way.
Tip: Make sure you bring 3 Litres of water because the rangers do spot checks and won't allow you to do the walk if you don't. We only had 1.5 litres each and it cost us $6 for 1.5litre bottle at the servo so make sure you visit IGA where it costs you $2.30 beforehand!

Glen's mantra was to live in the moment and the most memorable part of the trip was when we sat down in the valley facing these amazing rock formations and he simply told us to keep silent for 10 minutes. This really captured the tranquility of the environment when you could hear the sounds of the wildlife and outback. Would highly recommend!

Going to Kings Canyon with AAT Kings was wonderful experience and definitely worth the money!! Oir guide Michelle told us a lot of interesting background stories along the bus drive but also knew when to let us sleep. She is very enthusiastic and does a really great job!! The breakfast was huge and there are options for everyone, meat lovers and vegans! The walk itself is very beautiful. We were lucky with the weather so it wasn't actually very strenuous at all (only 32°C) but thats probably a lot harder in summer.

Wonderful Uluru Guided sunrise base walk with our 5 star guide Wils. Wils was so informative and engaging and clearly had a passion for the stories and information being shared - an awesome guide. Breakfast was simple but we were grateful for it and the rest. We found the walk well paced with plenty of opportunities to stop. Wils was also very caring about the group and there were opportunities for people to continue on the bus after breakfast as the day heated up.

We love the tour from Uluṟu to Kings canyon return. Although we woke up so early at 3am, it’s worth it. We have unforgettable experiences with driver Jim and local guide Glen. They are so friendly and professional. Glen is passionate and encourages everyone in hiking. He takes care of each person. He tells us very interesting stories on the way. We have very happy and enjoyable time with them. This tour plans very well in each part. We had delicious local homemade breakfast, clean toilets, special camel burger, stunning natural views, we also see the curtains spring, another flattened rock, this tour stops here for break, it exceeded our expectations. We love this tour and the two wonderful guides Glen and Jim. Thank you all.
