5.00Went 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 .

An average, but well-appreciated tour of Werribee Zoo/Mansion
louiee882,Jun 8, 2025

3.00A 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.
