Fantastic Morning Tour - Great trip, staff knowledge was excellent and the views amazing. Heaps of photo opportunities, and the walking was not strenuous. There was an 80 year old man on our tour who was a little out of breath by the end but the young children and everyone else on the bus had no trouble.

Sunrise Trip - Great way to see Uluru and Kata Tjuṯa. The guide, Jacob, was very knowledgeable and engaging. We got to spend loads of time at both locations and took fantastic memories away with us.

Smooth Progress - Plenty of viewing time during Sun rise at Uluru, kind guidance at Kata tjuta. Hot coffee and cookies in the early morning was good.

Worth the wake-up. - This was a very well organised bus trip. An early start with 5.15am pick up from resort. The guide and the bus driver had lots of information. First stop at Uluṟu you could make a hot drink- tea, coffee, hot chocolate and walk up to viewing area to see sunrise. Bathroom stop and then the drive to Kata Tjuṯa. The short walk in is suitable for most abilities but a little rough underfoot so care is needed at the start. Again an amazing spot to see

Uluru Mountains - The sunrise view of the Holy Mountain alone is worth the trip. Our guide was fantastic, attentive and knowledgeable. Excellent breakfast. I recommend this tour

A worthwhile experience - John was a magnificent tour guide. We lucked a magnificent sunrise. The walk at Kata Tjuta was good but a pretty limited experience of Kata Tjuta. Walpa Gorge is an interesting gorge, but not in itself overly spectacular. I realise that options for exploring Kata Tjuta are limited. A tour from 5:30 to 9:30 is difficult for those staying in hotels as breakfast is not available outside these hours. The tour itself was very well run.

Amazing but rushed - Sunrise was amazing and view points but we were rushed by the tour guide at both places although there was enough time to spare.

Amazing view and great... - Amazing view and great experience to walk Warpa Gorge. But it was disappointing that the tour started 15 mins later than scheduled (the bus came late), that the sun started rising while we were on the bus and it was already bright when we got to the spot. While time is really critical for the sunrise tour, we could only experience a part of this magnificent experience. Also the guide was not careful enough in the walk. First few explanations in the beginning, but then I could not find her through the walk though some were very slow with rough ground and strong wind. I would have misunderstood service quality of AAT if I had not had other tours before.

Worse money I have spent - Not worth it!! Sunrise is opposite direction from Uluru. Between the multitude of flies, the heat, and no breakfast the cost was not worth it. Not only did you not get close to Uluru but the strenuous walk to a very uninteresting view in a canyon was not what I call a good time. The guides talk was interesting but I would not recommend this trip due to the value on what you get. Also REALLY bad time of year for any outdoor activity. Wait till June
