This tour was very well organized, hitting all the key spots within the 7 hours we were together. The star of the tour would be hands down our 2 tour guides, Stef and Pia. They made this tour so light and enjoyable; I’ve never laughed so much from a tour before. Stef with his electronic piano playing, his singing with Pia, and their jokes was so fantastic. They truly worked like the perfect duo, and they whole heartedly took care of every customer with care and respect. I wish every tour had a Stef and Pia in it. I would recommend this tour in a heartbeat because of them. It also helps that the sites were all very picturesque and lovely.

If you need something nice and relaxing to do, without a massive line up then go here. Very good zoo for all animal lovers alike. Great way to use up a day or a couple of hours, with lots of variety of animals to see, very clean and well organized zoo. There were plenty of places to stop and rest and the gardens were nice too. Didn't eat at the restaurant in the zoo, but many bakeries, coffeeshops, and restaurants just located outside the zoo if you don't want to eat in the restaurant within the zoo.

Everything was great! Our driver Stef is a fantastic man! He knows how to keep the audience, joke and even play on piano! If you have possibility ask to have Stef like a driver, photograph man and bodyguard!

Such a lovely experience with a wide variety of animals and you can see they are all looked after so well. Brilliant for adults and children

Good experience but need find solution for deaf people
