We were collected from our hotel by a very comfortable, smart coach and helpful, happy driver.
Jon gave a commentary during the long journey which was so good that I enjoyed every kilometre. He let us rest in between a wealth of information and story telling of early farmers, explorers, first nation people's, the environment and places of interest. A natural, enthusiastic guide, we felt safe and informed but also entertained.
We had a brief lunch then over to the Uluru centre. We could have been longer at the centre, but the tour was next, and the high light of the day. Yad was very organised and led us confidently. His creation stories were well described and even a little acted out! He shared his knowledge with enthusiasm but also with great respect. He was friendly and thoughtful....so polite!
We enjoyed our BBQ very much. I am vegetarian so pre ordered my meal and I was surprised at how much care was taken by Yad and the team.
Jon drove us back to Alice Springs and despite the late hour we never felt anything but safe and cared for. He laughed with all the guests, as if he had known us all for years. He helped others with their luggage, ensuring they were delivered to their hotels safely.
The dedication and attention to detail by these staff members made the trip even more enjoyable. A trip to Uluru is a never to be forgotten experience and we hope to repeat in the future.
