Slightly overrated. Worth it if your goal is to experience the capital of a country. Historical fans only. Not much shopping.
Really great tour! Happy all round

I booked a day trip from Sydney to Canberra for my husband and l as he has never been to Canberra. Our tour guide Peter was very friendly and knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humour. The drive there, despite the wet weather, was long (about 3 hours by car), but the tour guide was an expert in driving so even though I was prone to being car sick, I did not feel unwell at all. The day was filled with activities and appropriate rest stops in between to ensure travellers are comfortable. I would recommend this to others and my husband and l had a great time.

Tour was well planned. Only one concern is the leg on leg room between seats. I’m 6 ft And had to keep my legs turned in the isle.

This is an excellent day trip to Canberra from Sydney to see the prime spots there. The trip was comfortable and our guide, "Stylus' (sorry for any spelling mistake) was really a great guy to be with. He was helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and was a fun to be with. I recommend this trip to anyone either solo traveler, group or family.

Wonderful day trip with Giule. He was an outstanding tour guide and driver. The Parliament visit was great! Tour was longer than advertised, though. More like a 13 1/2-hour trip.
