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.

We didn’t get Pete! Not enough time at the Parliament building and not enough history of anything really - just a pre recorded google commentary.
Great tour

Excellent surprise. We had done all the “usual” Sydney sites- and loved them. Saw this one and said why not! It turned out to be awesome. Guili our guide was attentive, personable, knowledgeable and very pleasant. He even tried to help us find an atm (which we couldn’t 🙂) The Military Museum was incredible. The Parliament tour knowledgeable and well timed. The other museum was a bit space but going down to the lake to see the old steam tug and the volunteers who manned her was a treat. Only draw back was the 3 hour ride- but even that was smooth and he played great music on ride.
