Beatrice was our shuttle driver from the airport to sails in the desert resort. I left one of my bags on the shuttle and she went out of her way to make sure it was returned to me. She is so amazing and deserves a raise. She literally saved my trip from being ruined. Thank you so much to her.

Mimi our AAT guide was great! Her knowledge and awareness of Indigenous history gave great context to what we were learning from our Aṉangu guide. Our interpreter Michelle from Maruku Arts was also wonderful.

This definitely was a highlight tour during our visit to Uluru. Our tour group was small but can be up to 16 people. Our driver Brittany accompanied us and helped make our day seamless. Our aboriginal guide, Sarah and her interpreter Michelle took us on a journey through the Mala creation story and gave us insights into the lives of the Anangu people, onsite at Uluru. We then moved onto the cultural centre and tried our hand at dot painting using the symbols explained during our tour.

It was a wonderful experience to have an Aboriginal guide, Sarah, speak in language as she explained important sections of Uluru in the creation story. Also wonderful to visit the Cultural centre and watch Sarah paint as we did our own simple paintings to keep as a souvenir. Sarah's interpreter, Michelle, was also really helpful. Mimi, our guide & driver before we met Sarah was knowledgeable and respectful.
