It was definitely worth to go. We went around city history tour about 2hours with a knowledgeable guide and popped off at some points. The day was raining so not much good views but still very enjoyable. But thanks for rain, they managed a special option for us and it was absolutely unforgettable!! The animals (pig, sheep, alpacas, lamb, chickens and rabbits) are so adorable and friendly, fun to feed them. Guides are super nice, talkative and thoughtful. he cared about even our dinner and booked for us. Very happy to meet with them!

Since there was no one else that booked for this tour, it became a private and personal tour! Mary's a really great tour guide. She's been around for 3 years and I can see she really loves her job! I learned about a lot of things from her from this tour, which is certainly more than just a feed-animal-farm-tour! It was an experience seeing a pine cone as big as a durian and a pineapple, and also the antlers of a 7 yr old deer, drank 99.8% pure water from the refreshing river and ate some pure honey still with the wax in it! Just ask any questions and Mary would know the answer! My favourite was getting to meet Buster (and Chief the bully haha)! They're retired horses and Buster's such a lovely horse.
