“Ronnie was a great guide. She was funny and had a good attitude. She shared a lot of interesting information with us about the area and the places we toured. We saw so much in a day. The best thing about the zoo was seeing the cute koala bears and getting our picture taken with one. The Blue Mountains we’re beautiful and had a lot of interesting history.
