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.
