A nice tour with many informations, really good! Guides speaking was sometimes a bit hard to understand.
It was a great day at a great price, The tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. All the cats looked amazing, the only thing that was a bit of a let down was all the cats were very inactive as it was such a hot day. (cant really blame them though :P)

A Must For All Those Who Are Interested
Awesome experience. Got an excellent deal and would of paid full price per person, as it's worth every penny. Recommend to all who is interested. You won't be disappointed. Enjoyed every moment. The tour was excellent as our tour guide was well educated and was very friendly allowing us to ask her anything. Learnt a lot about the cats and who they are as individuals Not like your typical zoo. Thanks to the staff at Zion you guys rock :) and thanks to bookme for the awesome deal.
