Timings as listed and overall a good experience with kids. Full load and safe driving by David who was host and driver
Great value way to see the Zoo and Werribee House from Melbourne.
Both places are close together so easy to visit both. Werribee House is very impressive and has featured in Aussie movies. Beautiful surrounds. The Zoo also is very worthwhile to see animals in natural settings.
Dave, our driver and guide was informative and friendly.
Small group tour. Highly recommended
I had a wonderful day trip with Rick, the tour guide.
Werribee mansion is a well presented example of a time gone by. Plenty of time to see the mansion and to have a bite to eat or a coffee at the Cafe.
Then on to the Werribee zoo. A great afternoon on your own to experience the zoo. Don't go in the school holidays as the line to get on the open air train/bus was very long but saying that the line was moving. Take a hat and sunscreen on hot days. And water. Plenty of places to get lunch or bring your own picnic.
Overall I enjoyed this tour.
Rick has a good deal of knowledge about the origin of Melbourne, and the Werribee mansion and surrounds.
First time through the mansion and knowing the history provided an enhanced experience.
We enjoyed the zoo as well but the rhinos were conspicuous by there absence.
Unfortunately the operator cancelled as there were not enough numbers. I was offered an alternative date but I already had other plans for that date.
Took myself to the two locations as it was an easy trip by public transport so I was actually better catered for I think.
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the cancellation of your tour. We strive to provide exceptional experiences, but unfortunately, sometimes low numbers mean we cannot run a tour as planned.
We're glad you were able to visit the Werribee Mansion and Zoo on your own, but one of the key differences our tours offer is the stories and history that bring the Mansion to life. By traveling with us, you would hear about the Chirnside brothers, the fascinating architectural details of the Mansion, and other captivating tales that you might not get from a self-guided visit.
