“Gert and Audrey were a great team that were very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Gert made the ride seem shorter with interesting facts. He recommended the tiger show which I loved! I had booked an experience through the zoo and Audrey got me to where I needed to be on time. They were wonderful.”

“The day trip to the Blue Mountains was wonderful. It filled in a full day of activities, much cheaper than cruise line pre-trip excursions. Though a bit of an early start, getting there before the large bus crowds was wonderful. Scenic World, the Sydney zoo, the lunch stop and the ferry ride back were icing on the cake. Brian our guide made it a great day.”

Review Werribee Open Range Zoo near Melbourne, with a free savannah safari, lions, gorillas, hippos, rhinos, and practical family tips.
“It was definetely a heartwarming experience best for all walks of life. I had a lot of fun most especially the tour in the wild where we see the group of rhinos, giraffes, and all saharan animals. I also love how the zoo is continously breeding its kins to fight for extinction and that is definetely what we need for our wild to be able to survive for the next generations to come. I would definetely come back and recommend to other family members and friends. It was a great oppurtunity.”
