    We had a family visit over Easter to visit our daughter who is studying in Canberra. beatiful weather and great for walking We walked the lake most days but was very disappointed at the poor conditon of a range of plaques including this one for Robert Menzies. Almost impossible to read and no doubt it urgent need of replacing. not sure the Labor government would be up to doing this

    John was very helpful, friendly and had lots of good advice for our day. The very bad storm made it impossible to get out to the pickup point, the next hourly pickup we were then the only ones on the bus he dropped us off at our accommodation, greatly appreciating after a long full day. Would recommend this day to anyone. Lorraine Michaels

    Plan your day well, the time goes really fast. Work out what you want to see and stick to it as the driver can try and persuade you to do otherwise which in turn may see you run out of time.

    You can stay at the main sights for an hour or two before being picked up by John. He knows Canberra and has a lot to tell while driving.
