Off to what I'd call an unprofessional start. Guide went to the wrong pickup place (didn't check his notes); had to drop off some documents enroute (30 minutes in a different direction); then an early stop to refuel the car. Arrived at Wilpena at least an hour later than we could have. The Flinders Ranges are fantastic, and my stay at Wilpena Pound, and flight was great. However, I could have done it all in my own vehicle, organised everything without a guide (and you can too) I didn't feel that having the guide added any value, and frustrated me at times with his lack of caring. The guide had plenty of stories to tell, but mostly hearsay from other guests. He offered very little information about where we were and what we were seeing. Small companies don't have to be unprofessional, and this company is small and unprofessional - in my experience.
