      If you’re considering a day trip to Canberra from Sydney, it’s worth it! The itinerary was well-organized, allowing us to see the key sights in Canberra without feeling rushed. Our guide was knowledgeable and very approachable, adding great insights to each stop we made. However, the bus was a bit on the older side, and the legroom could have been more comfortable, which made the ride less comfortable than it could have been. Despite that, the overall experience was positive, and the charm of Canberra, coupled with our guide’s expertise, made it a day to remember.

      We really enjoyed this tour. It was perfectly organized and allowed to see many places within one day. Our tour guide - Guillermo from Brazil was great - very friendly with huge knowledge. He drove carefully and his English was perfect. During the day we managed to see a lot and we fully recommend Canberra and Colourful Collective travel to everyone.

      This tour is a long day but well-paced and the included sights hit all our expectations. A particular highlight was the War Memorial Museum, the only complaint being that we could've spent the entire day at that one spot alone. The trip to the Parliament Buildings was excellent, and the driver's commentary during our visit was informed and interesting.
    • A very full and enjoyable day out.

      We packed a lot in. The tour of Parliament House was the highlight. Our driver/guide showed us around and was very knowledgeable. We also went to the rooftop for some great views. There were 27 of us on the 27 seater bus. We got back at 9.00pm. Good idea to take your own lunch and dinner as although we stop, the stops are very short and food expensive. Take a thick coat as Canberra is very cold. Driver has a happy disposition and is a very safe and careful driver. Gave us some commentaries along the way. After booking, I was sent an email to click on a link to complete a waiver. I was reluctant at first, but its ok. They mostly dont want to be held responsible for adverse weather conditions or people not turning up. I recommend this trip if you are just looking for a day in Canberra, which is all you need.
