We did this excursion in March. I have two boys, 9 and 4, and they really enjoyed the visit to the "Zoo". They fell asleep during the city tour! If I would do it again, I would just take a taxi to Ardestra(sp) myself. The tour didn't spend enough time at the gardens in my opinion. I don't know how much the taxi would cost, but it isn't that far from the dock, so I don't think it would cost too much. The marching flamingos were a hoot! We had our picture taken (free) with parrots--they turned out great. Hope this helps.
