Best tour and tour guide we have had

5.00What a tour. started with a friendly tour guide named Neil who picked my wife and i up at 9;15. we went everywhere with Neil pointing out interesting site as we went along. This was made easy for him as Canberra in my opinion is the most beautiful city i have ever been to. Beautiful places and buildings in the city and the outskirts. we finished our tour (after attending The Last Post ceremony at the War Memorial ) at 4;45 pm. This tour has easily been the best tour we have ever been on and was made a lot better with a friendly knowledgeable tour guide named Neil. thank you very much. boss, give him a raise.
Highly Recommended Tour

5.00Terrific trip. Graham was extremely knowledgeable about Canberra, its history, its landmarks and its day-to-day workings. He was justifiably passionate about living there and his enthusiasm was contagious. Loved it.

5.00This was an excellent tour. Neil was very pleasant and knowledgeable. The timing and length of tour were also very good and I was particularly impressed that we returned to the war memorial a second time to be there for the last post which does not otherwise work well with the rest of the tour.
