The ultimate safari trip was amazing and well worth the time and effort getting to werribee from the cbd.
Had a lovely day with Dave. Very friendly and relaxed tour. 😊 Definitely recommend. The mansion is amazing and always live animals at the zoo. Especially the giraffe's and zebra
The trip was cancelled and waiting for the full refund from Tripadvisor . We are very disappointed ! This is the first time we are using TripAdvisor and the last.
Love the scenery and the itinerary. Very relaxing here and the timing is just right. Very glad that I picked this day tour during my stay in Melbourne!
It was a fun, safari-style experience with close-up views of exotic animals. It's great zoo. and our guide was very knowledgeable and kind.
Went on this trip with some friends from overseas and we had a great time! David was patient, friendly and a great guide. He toured us through the mansion and was very knowledgeable, and drove smoothly enough for all of us to nap on the way there and back! Would recommend .
it was a great tour with informative nuggets throughout the trip, got to see many cute and amazing animals too. tour guide david was friendly and chummy
It was such an amazing and enjoyable experience. Really love looking at the mansion and also seeing the animals up close! It was a rare opportunity for me
A pretty basic tour. Most of the service provided was the shuttle to/from Werribee Zoo/Mansion and Melbourne CBD. Guide did very little to explain the Werribee Mansion tour and merely led us to enter the Werribee Zoo. The safari we did was the free safari that is accessible by paying an entry fee to the Zoo itself. I would recommend paying the entrance for the Zoo and then paying separately to do the Premium Safari instead of the regular "Free" one.
Timings as listed and overall a good experience with kids. Full load and safe driving by David who was host and driver
