Great tour
Hotel pickup and drop off as well as guides for Zimbabwe and Zambia side were excellent. Guides were knowledgeable and happy to get very wet together with us in the waterfall mist and spray. N.B. nothing to do with the tour but bring plenty of US dollars. We were a little shocked to have to pay entry fees of $56 and $20 per person (x2=US$152) Maybe include in tour price and people will know
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your experience and that our guides on both the Zimbabwe and Zambia sides made your visit memorable. They are truly passionate about sharing the beauty of Victoria Falls, even if it means getting soaked in the waterfall spray alongside our guests! We also appreciate your valuable feedback regarding the park entry fees. These fees are set by the national park authorities and are therefore not included in our tour price. We understand this can come as a surprise, and we'll make every effort to highlight these costs more clearly before booking so guests can plan accordingly.

Decent tour with beautiful falls and quick border crossing
Victoria Falls is absolutely beautiful. You could see it without a guide. However, if you don't much time, then using guide service with a pick up and drop off is a very reasonable option. We enjoyed the pick up, guides around the falls on both sides, some description about the place and quick border crossing with their help. The first guide on Zambian side, Mike, was very friendly and chatty. The Zimbabwe side is definitely more impressive, however, the guide was rushing it too much, and wasn't in the good mood towards end of the tour. I'd recommend it anyway.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to review us. We sincerely apologize that our guide rushed the tour. We appreciate your feedback and will work to ensure a more enjoyable experience for our future guests.

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Zimbabwe & Zambia: Private Guided Tour of the Falls: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Victoria Falls.
How much does Zimbabwe & Zambia: Private Guided Tour of the Falls cost?
+
Prices start at $63 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Victoria Falls usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Zimbabwe & Zambia: Private Guided Tour of the Falls take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Victoria Falls is not rushed.
Is Zimbabwe & Zambia: Private Guided Tour of the Falls worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 37 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Victoria Falls, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Zimbabwe & Zambia: Private Guided Tour of the Falls?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Zimbabwe & Zambia: Private Guided Tour of the Falls suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Zimbabwe & Zambia: Private Guided Tour of the Falls?
+
Around 13 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Victoria Falls can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Victoria Falls and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Zimbabwe & Zambia: Private Guided Tour of the Falls start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Victoria Falls within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Victoria Falls?
+
On Outty we rank every Victoria Falls experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guided Tour of the Falls (Zimbabwe side), Zambezi River Class IV-V White-Water Rafting from Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe & Zambia: Guided Tour of the Falls from Both Sides. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Victoria Falls?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Victoria Falls?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
