5.00It was a fantastic, interesting and entertaining tour! All stories and facts presented are verifiable- you are provided with a bibliography at the end if you have any doubts lol. It is an absolute 'must do' when in Canberra. A visitor note is that there is a bus stop opposite the Russian Embassy conveniently and extremely close to the tours end.
A great experience!
