This was a great experience. We were in a small group of 6 with our guide and got a unique behind-the-scenes tour. This really makes a difference for visiting the zoo, and will give you access to experiences and animals others don't get. We got to feed and pet wallabies, an echidna, a feather flider, and take photos up close with the koalas. You don't get to touch or hold the koalas on this experience, so a good supplement to this tour is the koala experience at featherdale wildlife park, where you can pet koalas. Highly recommend this add-on to anyone visiting the Taronga Zoo.

This was the highlight of our trip! Well worth the price! The backstage tour was awesome. Getting close to the animals and actually feeding and touching a few of them was priceless. Our guide was actually a zookeeper, and this made the tour way more enjoyable. I would do this again!

The zoo was amazing. Absolute favorite was the koala bears but we payed extra with them saying we could hold a koala bear written on their website by paying more which we did but were told we couldn't do that and they hadn't done that in 15 years? So I also saw on facebook someone else traveled to Australia - not sure where - but there they are holding a koala bear. So very disappointed in that cuz that was one of our highlights for taking this trip. But the zoo was good and we had a great time. I'd give it a 5 if we would have gotten what we paid for.

Our guide was great! She was so knowledgeable and you could tell she loved her job. All the animals had names.This tour was fantastic! Once we walked around the area where the kangaroos and wallaby were we actually got to go inside the koala enclosure and were within inches of the koalas. It was so hard not to touch them....they were so cute. We also had hands on time with a feather-tail gliding squirrel and enchidna. The tour also included a behind the scenes tour of the kitchen and what the animals eat. It was a wonderful day. The zoo is located across the bay from the Opera House so you must that a ferry to get there. Once there you can take the cable car up to the top and the entrance and it goes over the zoo on the way up. The animals are on display for easy viewing.

Great time! We were able to pet kangaroos and see koalas up close. The koalas were very active the the we visited. The experience was amazing!

This tour was well done. We had a short time in Sydney so this visit allowed us to do a backstage tour and entry to the Zoo. The Zoo is small but very well done. The tour guide was knowledgeable and gave lots of insider tips. The Ferry system was easy to use.

Tour was fun but really didn'tt go many places the regular zoo visitor can't go.

My sister and I did this tour with three other adults and two children. Our zookeeper guide was excellent. The small group, behind the scenes experiences, and the expertise of the zookeeper were terrific. It was an Australian experience that left you plenty of time to see other parts of the zoo. I would definitely recommend this tour.

The only way to see Sydney Taronga Zoo! Behind the scenes tour was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Will never forget feeding peanuts to Earl the kangaroo or being inside the koala enclosure. Just two of our special memories! Be sure to book early, as they limit the number of participants. We were in Sydney during the New Year's Eve timeframe and booked back in August.

This was an awesome experience. We went behind the scenes with an experienced trainer who explained so many details about various Australian animals that we would never know otherwise. It was very professional from start to finish.

What a great way to see Australian wildlife up close! We were thrilled to have a small group that were able to see the back scenes of the zoo and be able to touch some of them too. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended if youre into animal life.
