I knew from the moment Neil stopped to pick us up we were in for a good day. Neil is very observant of his clients and gets to know them very quickly with an excellent sense of humour. That's a plus. His knowledge of Canberra, history, politics and general information is continuously fascinating. I would suggest this is the tour you do on your first day and Canberra and you will quickly learn there is so much to see and do.

Fantastic tour of Canberra. Gave us a great insight in to the formation and functioning of the city. Our guide was easy to talk to and super knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything. There wasn't too much of the city we didn't get shown. Would definitely recommend this tour and I now have a better appreciation of Canberra as a city and a capital.
