Picked up at hotel in Alice an driven to hotel at Uluru resort. Driver was very good. Spoke about what we were seeing when relevant and then left us to “dose” . Coach was extremely comfortable and the stops at the roadhouses were great to stretch our legs.

Excellent driver, good and well equipped bus, on time. Driver hinting to highlights along the way. Clean bus.
Monique_A, Apr 2024
Off course the bus is an official bus by AAT Kings but much easier to book through Viator then the bus company itself. And cheaper. Lovely driver! Great info on the region driving through. Water on board, toilet and good seats.

The ride from Alice Springs to Uluru was great. It was very hot and there were a lot of flies so didn’t do much but the bus ride was very pleasant.
Bassam_K, Jan 2024
It was very nice shuttle trip to Uluru. The guide/driver, Phil was very professional, friendly and helpful. He was knowledgeable and considerate. The pace and stop intervals were perfect.

Peter came to our hotel this morning and picked us up. It was the best road trip in a long time. Peter shared a lot of knowledge about the area between Alice Springs and Ayers Rock with us. He also made us feel that questions were truly welcome! His enthusiasm for the wildlife and nature of the Outback conveyed so well, and we gained a lot from this trip. We highly recommend the journey with Peter!

The driver is very friendly and experienced who makes the journey very enjoyable. You won’t be disappointed.
John_B, Nov 2023
What will stick in my mind is the terrible bus that was provided for this excursion . Not a luxury bus as promised and although the driver and guide tried to communicate and tell about the history and interesting information it was impossible due to the noise and rattling of this vehicle. A terrible 6 hour endurance.

We loved our ride from Alice Springs to Yulara. Our driver was extremely knowledgeable and the stops were very fun and well timed. I wish we could have gone another day!
Genevieve_C, Oct 2023
Our driver Mack was very knowledgeable and shared lots of informations to make our trip feel shorter. The bus was very comfortable and it was like a plane trip with the landscape as a bonus! We made the obligatory stops at the roadhouses for toilet breaks and refreshments. We are in our 70s and we got there tired, but safe.
Marlene_N, Oct 2023
The ride was relaxed, not much people in the bus. Get a lot information from the driver.
The trip was good.
