5.00Great way to see the countryside around Canberra and be in a comfortable vehicle with a small group. Visitors to Australia will especially love seeing kangaroos so close and koalas. I loved seeing a platypus in the wild. Interesting to see and hear about the space programme
They simply did not show up

1.00I planed my stay in canberra months before because of the wildlife tour offered by the company. I even received a confirmation the day before. I waited for 40min at the Pick up place and nobody came. I called them but they did not answer. I sent messages with the viators platform from where i booked it, and they also did not answer. They only answered when i asked viator support for help, saying they cancelled the tour without even telling me. They said they would refund the cost of the tour, but what about the 2 nights at the hotel i booked only because of this tour? What about the time i invested on this that i could enjoy many other tours? They even made me wait an hour for them because they didnt even tell me it was cancelled. An unbelievable lack of professionalism resulting on losing money and time, not to say making me wait for them like an idiot. I recommend everyone to run away from them.
Great tour

5.00Great tour. You get to see wild kangaroos up close and koalas in enclosure. There are different types of native Australian birds too! The guide Neil was very knowledgeable about the animals and birds and was able to share a lot.
