Kuniya Sunset Aboriginal Tour including Uluru Cultural Center

Ayers Rock, Australia

My Rating
1 star rating: I do not recommend this

My Review
The tour was a cleverly orchestrated scam, involving the tour company and an individual presented as a member of the local Aboriginal tribe. The tribal member pretended not to understand speak English this was prior to the guide's admission that all tribal members were quite fluent in English. Thus, we spent much time having the extremely sparse commentary of the tribal member "translated" by the tour guide, who claimed to have become fluent in the tribal language through part-time study during a 4-month period. Amazing! This was followed by protests from the tour guide because I had mistakenly videotaped the index finger of the Aboriginal pointing at a cave painting that I intentionally taped. I was also publically reprimanded by the tour guide for mistakenly taping the back of the Aboriginal from a distance of 60-80 feet, while intentionally taping the majesty of the Rock. I left the tour early because there was nothing communicated to me that wasn't printed on the trail side exhibit signs. Also, the hassle from the guide simple wasn't worth the trouble.
