Adam is an absolute legend, very knowledgeable and great person to have as a tour guide. Recommend doing this tour as the sun is setting, as the light looks amazing over the city.

The animals appeared to be comfortable in their surroundings. The staff, even while working were happy to answer questions. The kolas were 'cute' even the adults. Loved watching the lizards walk around free, happy to have their photos taken. Lucy did a wonderful job showing how she can round up sheep, it was great to see her in action. There was so much to see and enjoy. Thank you
