Great zoo + transport - Guide was great, on time and friendly, got to enjoy the zoo (which was really good) at our own leisure and wasn’t rushed if wanted food afterwards before the journey back. Highly recommend 😀

Absolutely bad. Find another provider - there are much better ones. - We can only advise everyone against it. We bought a trip + tickets. The next day the driver didn't show up. A driver from another provider then called the driver, who then told us that everything had been cancelled. We have not received a call or an email about this. We have not received the money back to this day and have had to contact PayPal. The person is currently not responding to messages from PayPal either. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR ANY HOLIDAYMAKER!!! ABSOLUTELY RUDE!

Do it yourself. Not good value & threatened. - Paid €110 for a trip to Ranua zoo, not private. This could have been €13 on a bus & €23 on entry. There is 9 benefit to the tour. No mention that nearly all animals won't be visible this time of year (November). & the tour mentions that it is guided, but it is not. You are driven to the zoo, & told to go in, that's it, but you pay a €71 premium, providing no additional value to catching the bus yourself. Big waste of money. Highly advisable to not get this tour. Also got threatened with police after asking for a refund haha
