This is really a good value for the money. I came to Australia for the first time and really wanted to have a tour which would give me a detailed guided tour to Canberra. This trip to Canberra is definitely what I was looking for; it gave me everything and covered every aspect of Canberra I was looking for. Most importantly, I loved the way our guide explained everything to us in a very nice and patient manner. I will surely recommend this tour to my friends, and it is a great value of the money. I would like to thank Viator for this memorable trip to Canberra.

Just great, maybe a little bit fast for the little time we had.

I really enjoyed the trip. My only regret was that it was a bit rushed - I would have liked to have spent longer at the National Museum and the War museum in particular.

If you have not been to Canberra before this is a great introduction. Very informative commentary.

Good trip although be prepared for a long journey of 4 hours there and the same back. Time in Canberra well allocated and very good. Driver gave excellent commentary on the way there. Not a lot of time to eat during the day, relied on snacks.

Driver of the day was very accommodating. The trip was all done in a hurry, but this was to be expected of from a day tour. Otherwise, I was very pleased with the experience.

It was a beautiful capital city!

Great to see the capital but it was even more a rush than previous reviews stated, as we ran into traffic. Time would have been better spent in the National museum than driving past the embassies and taking so long at the War Memorial. The guide for the Museum and Parliament was SO incredibly knowledgeable, would have been much better to have more time to spend in those 2 places.

This tour was enjoyable but very rushed. I believe there was not enough time at the Museum; the tour there was very limited. The time at the Parliament was interesting, but again, rushed. The driver was very knowledgeable.

We needed a longer time in Canberra.

Canberra is too far from Sydney for a day tour. One has to take into account also the distribution of passangers to their various hotels, which takes up a lot of time. In Canberra we visited the Museum, the Parliament and the National War Memorial and had a very quick view of Canberra. They were worthwhile visits. However, we had no more time for Embassy Row, which as an Israeli would have liked to see Israel Embassy. I have gained no insight of Canberra, have seen nothing of how people live and where. This trip should be a two day trip and should include Lake George. I do not think that the price was justified for a few hours of sightseeing.

There was no personal time to explore the museum at all, which was absurd. The parliament house tour was marginally better, but again, we were not allowed to explore. The drive to and from Canberra from Sydney is far too long for so little payback. I would not recommend this tour.
