  We where blessed with a sunny but cold Canberra day! but what fun we had! so much information on our trip around the Parliamentary Triangle. There was a bit I already knew and some great stuff I didn't. Great place to start with a rich history of its own at the Hyatt. Thanks to our guide Tash, who did a brilliant job of creating atmosphere, telling the intriguing stories and keeping us entertained. Highly recommend this tour if you are in Canberra!

  Excellent 2 hour walking tour exploring many of Canberras important buildings specifically related to ASIO. Our tour started with our tour guide Tash giving us a short introductory talk in one of Canberras oldest hotels( now Canberra Hyatt).Our walking tour then began with Tash regaling many,many intriguing stories concentrating particularly on female spies in Australia! Tash was an excellent ,entetaining ,knowledgable guide who obviously loves her job!! Would highly recommend this tour!!

• A fascinating insight into CBR history

  We absolutely loved the Spies in the Capital walking tour with Tash and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Canberra—or even locals who think they already know the city well. The tour struck the perfect balance: long enough to feel like excellent value for money, but paced so well that it never felt tiring. Tash was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the subject matter, bringing Canberra’s fascinating intelligence and espionage history to life. As Canberra locals, we weren't expecting to learn nearly as much as we did, which made the experience all the more impressive. We came away with a completely new appreciation for a side of the city’s history that often goes unnoticed. A truly memorable experience and one of the best walking tours we've done.

  Veronica was a great guide. The walk was easy and we surprisingly "covered a lot of ground" in terms of the history. I learned a lot! It was also a beautiful day so that made it extra spectacular. I especially liked how some pretty humble-looking buildings played a big part in history and would have been overlooked otherwise.

  Absolutely phenomenal tour! Booked as a birthday gift to myself, I thoroughly enjoyed the Spies in the Capital tour. Veronica was such an engaging guide and you could feel the passion flowing through as they recounted the stories of some of the incredible women from our history. The information presented was delivered with such passion and in a way that encouraged participants to engage with each story. You can really tell how much research has gone into curating this tour, both professionally and personally. Highly recommend as a solo activity in Canberra!

• An entertaining way to discover hidden history

  She Shapes History is a company that specializes in 'hidden history', so this tour is a perfect example of what they do. Veronica brought to life stories about espionage in Australia and some of the women involved in it. I also loved the QR codes handed out at the end leading to further information about some of the people talked about. This is an outstanding idea for those who want to dig a bit deeper. This was a fun and educational way to spend 2 hours and $60. Highly recommended.

• You'll learn all about women spies in Canberra

  We met at the Hyatt in Canberra. Our tour guide Veronica was right on time. We immediately started out and visited several sites around Canberra, centering on the area around the Old Parliament Building. Veronica shared an immense amount of information about the topic. It was clear that she had done her own research, and she shared quite a bit of it. She also shared information from other guides she knew. The stories are fun and interesting. The tour lasted 2 hours and it was chock full of information all the way through. The tour doesn't make you walk very far from the Hyatt, so it's not tiring. There's opportunity to sit in several places which was a nice break. She snapped a photo of us all and will send it to us with links with more information. This is very casual, informal type of tour with questions encouraged. I definitely recommend it, and there's other tours in Canberra and Sydney with more coming in other places. The cost is reasonable and 2 hours is a good length.
