The trip content was very good however our guide was not as informative as most we have worked with and he was heard to hear. Also the bus was very cold. We could have used more time at the war memorial museum (45 min. was not nearly enough).

This was a very long drive for what we saw, but still it was interesting. My tour guide Tristen was excellent!

This was a great tour. It was a very long day, but worth it. We happen to be at the War Memorial during a special ceremony which was amazing. I highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to know how the Australian Government works.

The tour was really nice. If you want to explore Canberra and you are new here, this is the best thing you can do. The tour conductor was explaining everything while visiting. We had enough time to visit every points.
