Staff at the zoo were very friendly and helpful. Animals are well cared for and liked they not just concreted enclosures.

I booked Opera House tour and Rocks tour. They both are reliable and precise. The tour guides did a great job in explaining Opera House and the origin of Sydney.

Zoo is great! Leave early. Return Late. Ferry enhances the experience. Go with “Captain Cook” for this excursion. Vessel is clean and runs on time.

Wonderful zoo, beautiful ride across the harbour…tickets were much cheaper when buying in advance and the pier to catch the harbor cruise was right next to the cruise ship.

This combined ferry-zoo experience was excellent. We arrived in Sydney two days prior, and as we were on the Circular Quay and asked if I could get my ticket, or if I needed to wait for the day of the excursion. I was given our ferry/zoo tickets right then. The Taronga Zoo is a must for the beautiful city of Sydney. Viator makes it easy!

Excellent Zoo! One of our 3 favorites in the World! Be prepared to walk a lot! Start at top of the hill zoo entrance and walk down - much easier on the knees and legs. Reptile / amphibian House a must see! Koalas are cool too!
