We did this tour with Emu Run and I was a little disappointed that we were in a big coach (my mistake). The scenery we saw was spectacular and our guide knew a lot about the plants and birds of the region, but it would have been nicer to have a local.
We were supposed to have a sit down buffet lunch at Glen Helen but evidently this had been closed for some time and instead we were taken to an extremely busy car park where we had to compete with many other coaches for a table. Our guide then struggled to provide food for us all. This all could have been managed much better.

Don't book this tour! The company takes your money, sends all the confirmations and then doesn't show up. Could not contact them at all. Luckily we booked our tour through a third party site so it was easy for us to get the money back.
