After a management shuffle, this tour is now run by Noel. This tour IS the quintessential road trip. Taking advantage of the great expanse and isolation of the Australian Outback, you will learn about yourself and your life priorities by sharing conversation with Noel, fellow travellers, and random blokes along the way. You will observe, and maybe even adopt, pieces of the many radically different lifestyles. This kind of trip can't be found at a resort, you need to explore new places, that's where this trip will take you. With this considered, the tour itinerary itself is essentially customized for each tour depending on a few different factors (including season). If your heart is set on a certain experience, Noel will bend over backwards to satisfy you- he dedicates himself to being generous and wants to make the trip a success for each individual. As far as facilities and amenities that everyone mentions- all part of the experience. Come with an open mind and a few good things to talk about- there's not much else to do on the drive, but then again, that's the point! Discover Australia, discover yourself- go with Ando's Outback Tours!

This tour is now run by Noel, butis just as good as the previous comments suggest. I am 21 and went with my 20 year old sister and my parents (late 40s). We had such a great time and learnt so much. We found opals, sifted for gold, slept in an old train carriage, went down a 40ft mine, hung out with locals at a pub in the middle of nowhere and met some fabulous people. This tour will stay with me for the rest of my life and I wish it all the best for the future.

My family and I just got back from a trip to Australia/NZ (Dec 2013). It was a fabulous trip - beautiful scenery in NZ, top-notch diving on the Great Barrier Reef, and a wonderful time in Sydney. Easily the highlight of the whole trip, though, was the five days we spent with Noel knocking around the bush in NSW.We've done a lot of travelling, and the challenge is always to get to know a place from the standpoint of the people who live there. Nothing we've ever done has more successfully done that than our tour with Noel. We stayed in local people's houses (including Christmas with Noel and his wonderful family!) and small local hotels, spent time on a working sheep ranch and in charming small (non-touristy) towns, and never once felt like we were being given a "show". Noel himself is a delightful guide, taking you to places he knows as an insider himself, and about which he shares terrific stories. All this while taking in beautiful bush scenery, including scores of roos and emus in their natural habitat and wonderful birds of every hue.Taking this tour was one of the best travel experiences we've ever had, and I can say with confidence that if you're looking to get away from antiseptic hotels and places where tourists go and are catered to, this trip will be a fantastic experience!

Dear AndosI hope you are well.I went on your tour in 1998 (the computer did not allow access)You picked me up in an awesome school bus with young teens, I was in my 50's and showed us the time of our lives. I liked sitting in the back of the bus with either oranges or apples as we bumped along. The most memorable part was sleeping under the billions of stars somewhere in the outback. I can go on and on. thank you I will always remember you. Carol Sue Gershman New york

I have to admit that this review is based on a trip undertaken in 2001 or 2002. This was when Ted, the ancient but lively farmer ran the trip. I went with a mate who ended up getting married to one of the girls we met on the bus no such luck me!). Essentially the trip was a fascinating journey off the beaten track from Sydney to Byron Bay. En route we clipped sheep, went opal mining, drank beer, went riding, stopped in the Blue Mountains, drank beer, learnt to boomerang, went gold panning, drank beer, and ended up in Byron bay for what was an incredible night or 2 on the town.It was so memorable, not least for the locations we visited but the opportunity to get to know new people from all over the world. I'd do it again in a flash, one, if not the most, memorable trip of my life.

We selected this tour based on the positive comments of other reviewers, and we were very pleased with what was delivered. We would recommend it to anyone visiting Australia that wants a real [fair dinkum] experience, not a bunch of tourist traps. We suspect that many Australians have not seen and done the things we did.......they should go too! We have just returned home from the tour [August 2013], and find myself drifting off to those fond memories of places and people. I'm counting on those daydreams sticking with me for a long time. Credit goes to our guide Noel: he is a true Aussie bushman; part philosopher, part educator, excellent driver/navigator. Credit also the awesome beauty of outback NSW. Added the best sunset ever to my BL.!!!

I've been there april 2008. If I ever get the chance to go back to Australia, I'm deffinatly going to this part of the country again... I've been Australia for about 4 months, this tour has been the best week! Very friendly people, very welcoming, and I didn't feel like a tourist all the time, got to meet the "real" Australia... I've been reccomending this trip to eveyone I know who is going to visit Australia...

It's hard to add anything that's not said in a review already. Even most Aussies who live in the bush have not seen this part of Australia or had this experience - Noel & Noel's trip is DIFFERENT & UNIQUE. You will not have this experience with anyone else but Snail !!! His knowledge about all things Australian is excellent & his willingness to share his life experiences & philosophies gives the trip an added depth. Noel's flexibility & the unknown quantity in the trip make every day exciting - you ask yourself " what awaits us next?" If you're up to a challenge & want to have the best, most unconventional, non-touristic Aussie experience, then join Snail on Valium (the name DOESN'T say it all !!!)Take Ando's Outback tour & find out for yourself.

My husband and I went on this tour about five years ago, and we still talk about it!! This is definitely an authentic Outback tour! If you want to see the real Outback and meet some real Aussies, this is the tour for you! There were about 8-10 other people on the tour with us, so you really got to know the people you were riding with. Ted, the owner, is so nice, funny, accomodating... you name it!! I can't think of one part of the tour that wasn't interesting and a load of fun! The price for the tour is exceptional too. Just know that you won't be staying in any 5 star hotel on this tour... it's definitely roughing it, but in a fun way!! I can't wait to go back and visit Ted!

Living next to him i met many tourists and i really want to live there again when i grow up so i really recommend this for anyone who loves the outback and doesn't mind roughin it.
