5.00I went to the Zoo with Aude. She is amazing, she makes you feel comfortable although I was the only english speaking person in the group. The thing is, I forgot my wallet at the Zoo's restaurant, and it had all my documents and cards in it. My flight was in 2 days. The company was kind enough to go fetch it on their next tour which was on the same day as my flight. Everything worked out in the end. Lovely people, I apologize again for the stress and issues I caused. And thank you very much for getting my wallet back and helping me catch my flight back in time. You really went out of your way for me, God bless you! Recommend them 100%! Really good company!
Interesting visit
