We had an excellent time. The Koala Sanctuary was a must see! You were able to see Koalas up close and unlike most zoos, the Koalas were actually awake and moving about. We also fed Kangaroos and Emus. Our driver was very friendly. The only con was the trip was a bit pricey for not having included the picture holding the Koala. If I were to do it again, I would have just found transportation to the Koala Sanctuary. We only spent 10mins at Mt Coot-tha, so it really wasn't worth spending the extra money for.

This tour is worth taking. The driver was very informative. The Koala Sanctuary was excellent.

We were worried about calling the day before our tour to confirm, as we were in Sydney and did have phone service, but luckily there was a pay phone and your toll-free number at the airport! Our tour guide/driver was great as was the entire tour. Thank you! Mr and Mrs Curtis, California USA

A sanctuary is always a great way to see the animals as you can interact with them so much more. You go into the kangaroo pen and can hold a koala and have your photo taken. I love animals so that will probably affect my score.

Very efficient tour guide. One of the more special moments of the trip was holding the koala bear at Lone Pine.

Review by: Allan M, New Zealand	March 2010
It was my second time on this tour and I note the emphasis is on the Lone Pine visit. I would have preferred more descriptives on the city buildings etc. Apart from that I would certainly recommend as a "must do" in Brisbane.

A great afternoon! The driver/guide was highly knowledgeable and entertaining. The Koala Sanctuary is not to be missed!

Review by: Hazel B, United Kingdom	October 2009
I only had a few hours to spare whilst in Brisbane so this tour was ideal. I got to hold a Koala for a small fee and have a photograph to prove it! I also had the opportunity to see and hand feed Kangaroos and other Australian wildlife. The views from the mountain were wonderful! A great little trip with a friendly and helpful guide. One for all ages.

We had a great time on the tour and especially enjoyed the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and made the koala sanctuary time run very efficiently by telling us what the highlights were and making sure we caught all the shows worth seeing. "Cuddling a koala" was definitely a highlight of an entire Australian vacation.

It was everything that we were expecting.

Review by: Amanda H, United States of America	May 2008
The Lone Pine was a very fun experience. We got to hold the koalas and they had a nice size kangaroo area. Mt. Coot-tha lookout had great views of the area. It was a nice afternoon tour of the area.

The bus driver was great, and the whole time was very informative. I couldn't fault anything.
