From the lookout, your guide will explain the growth of a young city, the two-tiered colonial and capital city history and point out places of interest and key attractions, all while you survey the tremendous design of Canberra’s architect, Walter Burley Griffin.
Expect a drive through the grounds of the Royal Military College Duntroon - Australian Army's officer training establishment and perhaps to Mount Pleasant where you’ll be delighted to an alternative aspect overlooking central Canberra.

Great full day Canberra tour.

5.00The tour itinerary was well thought out, well timed and we saw most of the major sites. Neil, our guide, was well versed in everything Canberra. He explained history, back stories, current events and was amenable and very interesting. He gave us the tour of Old and New Parliament houses, and starting the tour at Mt Ainslie gave us the perspective we needed. An excellent day and well worth it.
Excellent overview of Canberra

5.00This tour was absolutely brilliant. It enabled us to see many highlights in Canberra without feeling rushed. Starting at Mount Ainslie Lookout gave us a feel for the geography of the city and returning to the War Memorial for the Last Post was moving and memorable. Neil was an excellent guide - very knowledgeable, friendly and fun. Thanks for a great tour!
Great experience

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
