“Brilliant Tour Guide”

Reviewed May 7, 2012

After reading the recent reviews on Trip Advisor we decided to confirm our tour with Alice Wonderer. We are so grateful we selected this tour company as the tour guide was absolutely brilliant and made the entire experience memorable. Gary Woolfe collected us from our hotel and was the most enthusiastic, passionate and knowledgeable tour guide anyone could ask for... More

Thanks so much for taking the time to review your touring. Gary certainly has an enthusiasm for the region which shows in everything he does - this year he has some stiff competition from the rest of the team who are as equally committed - its a nice feeling knowing how much everyone puts into their touring and I know...

“Poor communication and cancelled tour”

Reviewed April 29, 2012

We booked the West Macdonnell Day Tour and the Alice Hop-on-Hop-off tour with Alice Wanderer after reading such good reports on tripadvisor. Sadly the company did not live up to our expectations. The first morning we were picked up from our hotel for the West Macdonnell Day Tour by Emu Run Tours, about 20 minutes later than expected. We had... More

“Excellent tours”

Reviewed April 28, 2012

Having read trip advisor, we booked three trips with Alice Wonderer. We arrived from Ayers, just before lunch on Anzac day. First trip the hop on hop off bus, and even though we knew we would only have half a day, we thought why not. Gary picked us up at our hotel, he was just great, very knowledgeable and very... More

What a great selection of tours you chose for your time in Alice - You really were lucky to have had Jim (dad) as your guide for the Palm Valley Day - he learnt to drive in Palm Valley as a boy when his father (Jack) built the Palm Valley Chalet in 1956 - then Ayres Rock Chalet in 1958... More

We went with Andrew on the Palm Valley Tour and enjoyed it tremendously. Andrew's commentary and his knowledge of both the history and the environment was excellent. He accompanied the group on all the walks, which was greatly appreciated by the older members of the group. We felt at all times relaxed and in safe hands. [----] More

Palm Valley has always been one of our most popular Tours - the 4WD journey along the Finke River Bed before discovering the ancient oasis of palms nestled into the cliffs of bright red sandstone is always a highlight to a Central Australian Adventure.
