The breakfast was delicious but the 'wild' bit was disappointing. One orangutan with her baby and you queued to get a picture taken with it, also a small snake. The zoo is excellent though. The fragile forest section my favourite.

This could have been better if the tour was not so hurried. Breakfast was great and so was the show.

Enjoyed every moment of time at the zoo, even got to feed the elephants which I love.

A great tour on our second time at the zoo.

Great experience, you will never get so close to an orangutan. It was brilliant.

I'm glad I didn't take the breakfast option so I had more time to go around. The guide we had was not very friendly.

Was disappointed with the breakfast with orangutans far too commercial would have liked to see smaller groups. But Zoo itself was amazing best we have ever seen. So good, we stayed on for the whole day. Would go to zoo again just not do the Orangutan breakfast.

The tour and hotel pick were excellent. However, you only got to get your photo with the orangutans. We thought there would be more involvement with the organutans. Maybe being able to feed them.

This tour was average, nothing spectacular. We were picked up from our hotel. Without explanation taken to a terminal were we had to wait with large numbers of other people until our guide arrived, nothing was really explained to us until we got on the bus and were heading towards the Zoo. The breakfast with the orangutans was NOT what we expected at all. There were large numbers of people there when we got there all having breakfast and only a couple of orangutans which you could go over to and pose a photo with after you lined up! It was simply more about the breakfast than the orangutans. The rest of the time was spent exploring the Zoo, which was great, at our own leisure. Singapore Zoo is amazing and well worth going to, however could easily have been done independently as well in our opinion.

Interesting experience - very rushed, especially the time with the Orangutans. Quite chaotic at the place where we were all taken to be directed to our respective coaches, could have done with a few more visible signs showing where to wait.

We were soooo looking forward to our breakfast with the orangutans. It was my husband's first trip to Asia, and he loves orangutans. However, to be honest, it's just not the same since our beloved icon passed earlier this year. The atmosphere has really changed. It would've been nice if more orangutans were now included in the breakfast to make up for the lack of atmosphere. Even the snake that was brought out to show was tiny. I was expecting something HUGE and quite a number of meters long. Not to be. We were also disappointed that after walking to the other side of the zoo, there were no Asian elephants in the enclosure at all to see. Despite the fact that we were so very late in arriving at the zoo due to the traffic jam, we also had to wait a long time at the departure point in town before leaving on the tour. We're not used to that on the tours we've taken in the past. We felt that we spent more time on the coach than at the destination. The tour guide was just fantastic. Overall, I would recommend the tour, as so many of our comments are specific to our tour date. But some changes to need to be made by the zoo to bring back the excitement of having breakfast at the zoo.

There was nothing wrong with the trip itself. Guide was great and gave us some good background knowledge on the way to the zoo. The zoo itself is fabulous and well worth a visit; breakfast there is a fun thing to do but not completely necessary. The animals do come and visit, but there are other opportunities during the day to get up close to the animals as well. All in all, a fine trip, but just spending a day at the zoo would be just as good.

The breakfast was average and there was no interaction with the orangutans, you basically just stood in front of them for a few seconds and had a photo taken, which you can do in other parts of the zoo during the day for a much smaller fee. Also, the time allowed for this trip is insufficient to see the zoo.

Bus was late getting into the area to pick up the people doing this tour, and so arrived 15 minutes late for the breakfast. I found the tour was very rushed, and you really didn't get to see much. I think I would've preferred to do this tour without the breakfast.

This was not really a guided tour - just a pickup from the hotel and a long wait at the terminal, and then a short commentary on the way out and then we were left to ourselves. No different than arranging it ourselves. As we were last drop off, it took us 1.5 hours to get home. I felt this was no different than just taking public transport and making your own way; in fact that probably would have been cheaper and more efficient.
