Frequently Asked Questions about 4 Day 3 Night Rock to Rock Camping Tour Expand all

I have a flight out of Ayers Rock (Uluru) at 9:40am, will I make it to the airport in time?

Yes! Mulgas Adventures will ensure that you will be dropped at the airport in time.  Please advise your guide if you have an early departure flight from Ayers Rock (Uluru Airport)

What is a swag?

A swag is made out of heavy duty canvas, sewn into a cocoon-like bag providing warmth, comfort and security - the ultimate of all bush beds! They have a 2-inch thick comfy mattress. You sleep inside your sleeping bag inside your swag so your body heat is trapped inside your sleeping bag and swag. A lot warmer than a tent!

How cold does it get at night?

In winter temperatures can drop to 0ºC. In summer it is usually around 20ºC. Please check weather forecasts before the tour so you can bring appropriate clothing for the conditions.

We plan to complete a decent hike each day during our Tours. Each location has options, which your guide is ready to recommend based on your fitness and energy levels on that day.

Great value tour packed with lots of brilliant activities.

I had a great trip with Mulgas to Uluru, Kata Tuja and Kings Canyon. Our guides Lee Lee and Liv where very fun, friendly and informative. I would highly recommend going on this trip.

Amazing tour!! CJ and Leelee were such great guides, so knowledgeable and fun. Would 100% recommend this tour, one of the highlights of my time in Australia so far!

Es war ein wunderschönes Erlebnis! Alles war top Organisiert und das Essen auch für Vegetarier war perfekt. Danke Phil

The guide is really good! Alex is really nice! I have a wonderful weekend.

I can definitely recommend the tour. It was a lot of fun. It was so nice to sleep under the stars and to see the sunrise and sunset every day. We visited so beautiful places and have learned new things.

The most incredible experience I’ve ever experienced. If you are thinking on do this, please I can’t recommended more. You will never regretted it. Special gratitude to Simon, our guide. He was the best!

The tour was awesome. We saw lots of great things and did great hikes. Simon, the tour guide, was great and really funny. He gave us lots of amazing information and made sure that the trip was a great experience. Uluru was breathtaking. I loved it and would definitely recommend the tour. The food was great and there was enough for everyone. Sleeping under the stars was also great and not too cold in the middle of February. I would rather recommend flying to Uluru Airport. At least Simon picked everyone up one by one after a delay. The journey from Alice Springs takes a long time and you don't see anything really special on the way.

Had a really good time with the Mulgas tour despite the heat in the Outback. Definitely a must-do when you want to visit Uluru and the Outback in a few days!

Best experience and one of the best trip so far. The tour was definitely one of my highlights in Australia. The guide has a lot of knowledge and details. Sleeping under the star was absolutely magic. Super super hot day but aI had a good time in there :) really recommend this!

Vodka Museum Tour with transport (excursion only)

Lena, our guide in Moscow was excellent. She was very knowledgable and could answer any question we had for her. We liked that she could pick up on our interests and take us places we might not have thought of to go. When we realized that one of the places we had chosen to see would probably not be that interesting to us, she was able to arrange entry to the Diamond Fund and the Armoury for us. Riding the Metro with Lena was a real adventure and a lot of fun. In Saint Petersburg we found Anna well versed in the history of the Tsars and in the Hermitage collection. Arkady in Veliky Novgorod was a very good guide and answered all of our questions with ease. Novgorod was perhaps a long way to go for a day trip, but we did enjoy it. Vasily was a great driver to have and kept us safe with good humour and skill. We enjoyed ourselves so much, my daughter says she is already planning to return. We would both have no hesistation to recommend ExpresstoRussia to anyone we know.

Just wanted to let you know that My grandson Bruno and I couldn´t have been more pleased with our week in Moscow (6/15 - 6/21). We were absolutely enchanted with the whole experience, including getting lost a couple of times in the Metro during our free time. Although both our guides (both Eleanas) were excellent, I would particularly commend the first one (she took us to the Tatiakov, the KGB tour, and to that beautiful cemetery where so many great Russian artists, authors, composers, musicians, militarists, and politicians are buried). Her knowledge is encyclopedic; and her understanding of today´s Russia as a product of its past was, for us, truly enlightening. I will be taking another tour in Russia, with my wife, within the next two or three years. I will be in touch with you when the time comes. Meanwhile, I will refer you to other potential visitors to Russia as I meet them.

Moscow, a City Like No Other

Moscow is Russia’s largest city with a population of between 12 and 13 million. It is also Europe’s largest city and when you visit Moscow, you can feel it. The layout and architecture of the city is eclectic, ranging from crooked, ancient streets and alleyways to wide, bustling boulevards, from medieval churches to Stalin skyscrapers and to modern, glass buildings towering over everything and of course in the center of it all is the Kremlin and the magnificent Red Square. Moscow is also home to a fantastic, efficient and very beautiful metro system – each station having its own special design. In fact, Express to Russia’s Moscow metro tours and excursions are some of our most popular attractions that we offer. On our Moscow tours, you will see this and more.

Moscow Tours centering on Russian History

Moscow has a long and interesting history and has been the capital of Russia in many of its different iterations – capital of the Grand Duchy of Moscow , the Russian Empire and of course the Soviet Union (who could ever forget the Soviet Union?). Moscow, was founded in the 12th century by Prince Yuri Dolgaruki (Yuri of the long arms – he really did have long arms!). From that time on, it was home to the Russian Tsars until Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg in 1703. The city has survived invasions and sieges from the Mongols, the Tartars, the Poles, Lithuanians and Napoleon but has always persevered. Our Moscow tours will enlighten you on this great history and give you insights into Muscovites and their unique culture. Our Moscow tours show you what the city is like today but also brings to life the past. Moscow never seems to sleep and is bursting with energy. A Moscow tour with Express to Russia is truly the best way of getting to know Russia’s largest and most vibrant city.

Frequently Asked Questions From Our Travelers

What is the best time to visit moscow.

Any time of year is fine depending on what you plan to do. Summertime is pleasantly warm, ideal for exploring the city and its vibrant atmosphere, but Moscow will be much busier and accommodation is more expensive. Winter can be quite cold but beautiful nonetheless, and this is unproblematic if you intend to spend most of your trip in museums and galleries. There are also various festivals and events organised throughout the year. For more information about the best time to visit, read our guide

How many days are enough in Moscow?

If you plan your itinerary strategically and aren’t averse to a packed schedule, you can cover Moscow’s main sights over a long weekend. Most popular attractions are in the city centre, and the Moscow Metro allows you to cover much ground in a small amount of time. Ensure that your accommodation is fairly central and book tickets in advance, so that you can make the most of your days. For an informative and well-organised day out, check out our Moscow day tours with options to suit all interests.

Do they speak English in Moscow?

As Russia’s capital city, tourists are well accommodated in Moscow. There should be English-speaking staff in restaurants, bars, hotels, shops and attractions in tourist hotspots, and there are also English-speaking tourist police. Transport services have English translations on their maps and English announcements via intercom; alternatively, order taxis from the Yandex Taxi app (Russian Uber), though it’s unlikely that your taxi driver will speak English. If you get stuck and cannot communicate, it’s fine to use Google Translate.

Is it safe to travel to Moscow?

It is no less safe to travel to Moscow than to any European city if you exercise common sense and look after your belongings. As with every city some regions can be more unsavoury than others, but no tourist attractions are located there. The traffic in Moscow is notorious, so exercise caution when crossing roads. Do not take unlicensed taxis; book in advance or take public transport, which is widespread and perfectly safe. If you encounter any problems, look for the special tourist police who can help you.

What is Mulga?

Australia’s most common tree, the mulga tree..

Mulga trees range from 5 to over 12 metres high, and cover about 20% of Australia’s dry arid areas. They have a rounded shape with a grey-green colour. They produce small yellow flowers which are packed together as spikes.

Perfectly adapted to the Australian desert, with needle-like leaves that go straight up to catch the morning and evening light while avoiding the hot midday sun. In dry spells, Mulgas drop most of their leaves on the ground to produce an extra layer of mulch.

There are many species and varieties growing throughout Central Australia, and in places we travel through on Our Tours .

Mulga Traditional Uses

The hard wood of the Mulga tree is used to make tools such as boomerangs and digging sticks. The dense hard wood burns easily but slowly, making it the idea fuel for fires. Read more in Anangu Tools .
