BEST DAY TOUR IN CANBERRA I had an absolutely fantastic experience on the Highlights of Canberra tour, thanks to our incredible guide, Neil. His extensive knowledge, passion for Canberra’s history, politics, wildlife and culture, and years of experience truly brought every stop to life. Neil shared fascinating insights and stories that you simply wouldn’t get on your own, making the tour both informative and entertaining from start to finish.

His friendly personality, professionalism, and ability to answer questions with such depth and enthusiasm made the day even more enjoyable. Neil’s experience was evident in the way he navigated the tour seamlessly while ensuring everyone felt included and engaged.

If you’re visiting Canberra, I highly recommend this tour, and especially Neil as your guide. He turned a great sightseeing day into a memorable and enriching experience.

Great day This was a fantastic day. .Neil is very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions. It was great to learn about the history of the planning and the layout of the city.
Thank you Neil.

8 Hour Canberra bus tour Neil gave a great tour & provided a lot of information. He also had a wonderful sense of humor.

Full day tour in Canberra I am very pleased with the tour.

A Must Do Experience We enjoyed our tour very much. Being first time visitors to Canberra, Neils extensive knowledge meant we learnt a lot more than if we had just tried to experience the city on our own. We would definitely recommend. Julie and Alan

Great full day Canberra tour. The tour itinerary was well thought out, well timed and we saw most of the major sites.
Neil, our guide, was well versed in everything Canberra. He explained history, back stories, current events and was amenable and very interesting. He gave us the tour of Old and New Parliament houses, and starting the tour at Mt Ainslie gave us the perspective we needed.
An excellent day and well worth it.

Excellent overview of Canberra This tour was absolutely brilliant. It enabled us to see many highlights in Canberra without feeling rushed. Starting at Mount Ainslie Lookout gave us a feel for the geography of the city and returning to the War Memorial for the Last Post was moving and memorable. Neil was an excellent guide - very knowledgeable, friendly and fun. Thanks for a great tour!

Amazing experience! My mum and I had wonderful experience with a bus full of fellow tourists from across the globe. Neil is a wonderful and knowledgeable tour guide, great knowledge of Australian history, nature and wildlife. It was also great that we got to see kangaroos and koalas upclose.

Best tour and tour guide we have had What a tour. started with a friendly tour guide named Neil who picked my wife and i up at 9;15. we went everywhere with Neil pointing out interesting site as we went along. This was made easy for him as Canberra in my opinion is the most beautiful city i have ever been to. Beautiful places and buildings in the city and the outskirts. we finished our tour (after attending The Last Post ceremony at the War Memorial ) at 4;45 pm.
This tour has easily been the best tour we have ever been on and was made a lot better with a friendly knowledgeable tour guide named Neil. thank you very much. boss, give him a raise.

Relaxing way to see the sights of Canberra Michael our trip leader and driver went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our day. He was happy to modify our day to suit his customers and the weather. A very relaxed and informal day.

A great tour A full day's experience.
Graham was a fantastic tour guide and really made the day for us.
Well worth doing

Just excellent. This was an excellent tour. Neil was very pleasant and knowledgeable. The timing and length of tour were also very good and I was particularly impressed that we returned to the war memorial a second time to be there for the last post which does not otherwise work well with the rest of the tour.

Brilliant, it won’t disappoint. Excellent. From pick-up to drop-off our throughly knowledgeable driver, Neil made the experience totally enjoyable and educational with great humour thrown in. Totally worth the cost. We could have never achieved anything like what we experienced by doing and visiting all the places on this tour. This is value for money experience. WA visitors.

Canberra highlights! Neil did a great job leading our tour. Hit the highlights but had great and informative back stories. I would highly recommend this tour while in Canberra.

Great overview of this unique city. We had decided on this trip to Australia we should visit Canberra, the Nation’s capital.
We booked the full day tour on Viator. We were met at our hotel by Graham who was a fountain of knowledge regarding his home city. We learned so much about the history and architecture of this interesting and quite unique city.

It was a beautiful day so we were lucky enough to see the view of the ‘Canberra Triangle’ from the Mount Ainslie lookout. When visiting the Parliament, we were also fortunate to go into the public gallery at The Senate (Australian equivalent to the UK’s House of Lords) and witness the debate in question time. Probably the highlight of the day was the timely visit to The Australian War Memorial where we were able to see the daily ‘last post’ ceremony, which was an emotional and moving experience.

Thanks for a great day Graham!

Highly recommended tour.

Amazing Very good tour .Highly recommend
Bob (your guide) is such an asset to this company,very knowledgeable and so friendly. Just book you wont be sorry

Great tour of Canberra This tour gave a good insight to the points of interest to visit in Canberra.
The weather was not the best, but Michael tailored the tour to lessen the impact of the rain. He was a great host, with a good knowledge of the places we visited.
I would recommend this tour to others.

Great tour with very knowledgeable guide who made it fun Thoroughly enjoyable day, Neil made it fun and informative and his knowledge about the workings of Parliament is extensive. The stops were all of the right length allowing enough time to get e feel for each place. I would recommend to anyone.

Overall very good tour Very nice man and knowledgeable managed to see everything on the itinerary and had just enough time at each one.

A wonderful Evening! I had the pleasure of spending my evening on this experience yesterday. Our Guide, Neal was exceptional. He was very informative, and kept the tour fun. Neal was right on time picking us up at the Hotel. It was such a nice evening and we sen so many animals! Australia is amazing, if you are here visiting do yourself a huge favor and book this tour!

A superb 1 day tour of Canberra with a friendly and expert guide knowledgeable on its founding, development and the functioning of its key institutions. Very entertaining and interesting day with many more locations and events covered than we could have managed on our own.

1st Time in Canberra Darryl was our tour guide and he was awesome. He was very knowledgeable and such a pleasure to talk to. I really enjoyed being able to see a number of fantastic site in Canberra without having to worry about driving or even thinking. I was here in Canberra on a business trip. I told my business associates, who are locals, about where Darryl took us and they were impressed that we were able to see so much in one day. Everywhere we went on this tour was exactly what they said they would have recommended someone new to the area should see. I think Darryl was very friendly and a great conversationalist. I think he did a great job and I would highly recommend this tour and Darryl.

The tour guide was very good, very down to earth, friendly & practical in his approach and very knowledgable. Everyone enjoyed the sites in Canberra & thoroughly recommend this tour.

Great Day Great day full of interesting insights. Neil was a great guide and made the trip very enjoyable by sharing his knowledge and experience

Better than we could have dreamt off. Our tour guide ornithologist Neil was only too happy to share his extensive knowledge of flora and fauna and local history and geography.An absolute highlight of our trip. Thank you Neil and I encourage anyone fortunate to be visiting Canberra to hop on board. David and Svetlana

Definitely great value! Neil’s commentary was interesting and informative and fun! The areas travelled give a great overview of Canberra. My 13 year old granddaughter was very impressed and would also recommend this tour. The small group size is a plus (in my opinion). The option to participate in the Last Post ceremony was a highlight.

Had a fantastic time on the full day highlights tour with Neil. His knowledge of the Canberra's history was very interesting and added alot to the experience.

We were very impressed by our tour and guide Bob, the day was perfect in every way.
We all enjoyed it very much and fitted so much into the day, Bob was the perfect guide and very knowledgable.
I would personally recommend this tour to anybody visiting Canberra.
Remember to wear good shoes, take water and a hat, we were all totally exhaused by the end of the day. Thank you Bob

Worth every cent.. This was the most informative tour I have ever been on.
Bob was a great tour guide and very easy to talk to, a wealth of knowledge.
Anybody going to Canberra try this tour, but wear your best walking shoe, take water and a hat.

Absolutely a must-do tour!
Neil was an outstanding guide with incredible knowledge of the Canberra area and fascinating historical insights. His humour and quick wit made the tour both informative and great fun. We learned so much and enjoyed every minute. Definitely wear good walking shoes — you’ll be glad you did!

One guided tour you shouldn’t miss! This tour was excellent and well worth the money. Our tour guide, Neil, was incredibly informative and delivered everything with a refreshing wit and sense of humour. I came away with a renewed appreciation for Canberra. Be sure to slip, slop, slap, wear good walking shoes, and bring a bottle of water.

Highly recommend Simon was an excellent guide and he was knowledgeable, informative and a lovely genuine gentleman.
The tour captured the main Canberra highlights with plenty of time to have a good look around.
Would highly recommend,

The perfect introduction to Canberra - do this as your first activity We were going on a short mini break to Canberra and wanted to ensure we maximised our stay. We had seen how highly rated tour this was on Trip Adviser so booked early. We were not disappointed. It really was a great experience and Neil was the perfect guide. The whole tour was so well planned giving you a full understanding of the how, where and when surrounding the city’s founding and its history to date, a thorough explanation of how the Parliamentary system works in Australia and ideas of what to do on subsequent days. It was all delivered in a very informative but light touch manner by someone who had a great breadth and depth of knowledge. Neil was always ready and willing to answer questions. We’d really recommend this as the first days’ activity in Canberra.

Enjoyed the Kanagaroos and Koala tour. Neil was knowledgeable and thorough and he has a great sense of humour. We learned about the history and countryside around Canberra as well as seeing the animals. Highly recommend!

Wildlife experience plus more Although we have lived in Australia for many years and have seen kangaroos and koalas in multiple locations, this tour is still worth mentioning. The tour guide, Neil, is very friendly and knowledgeable. He explained the different species of wallabies and kangaroos and introduced an interesting app for birdwatchers. He also fulfilled my wish to spot a platypus in the wild. Another highlight was the NASA deep space radio tower, which came with a very interesting story. As we were the only group on the day, he even dropped us back at our accommodation. I would highly recommend this tour.

We had a truly wonderful experience with Neil from Canberra Guided Tours.
The tour among kangaroos and koalas was unforgettable and extremely well organised.
Neil is not only a highly professional guide, but also someone with deep knowledge, genuine passion and great respect for wildlife. His explanations were clear, engaging and full of interesting details, and his love for animals is evident in everything he does.
Thanks to him, we experienced Australian wildlife in a very authentic and respectful way.
Highly recommended to anyone visiting Canberra who wants more than just a standard tour.
Thank you, Neil, for such a memorable experience!
Greetings from you new Bulgarian friends

We went on a guided tour on Sunday with a lovely man called Neil. He was friendly, very informative about all aspects of Canberra. Even better he made everyone on the tour feel comfortable, and had an amazing sense of humour. Recommend the tour if you're ever going to Canberra.

Canberra highlights Wonderful information and fun, Neil our operator fantastic
Day out , we advise everyone to join this small welcoming tour when next visiting Canberra, you won’t be disappointed.

Simon was our guide on an all day tour of Canberra and he was exceptional. Good pacing, clearly able to hear and understand him, very knowledgable. We were very lucky that we only had about 6 people on our tour that day so that made it even more enjoyable. Nice group. Minivan/bus was comfortable and easy to get in and out of. I learned a lot about Canberra and Australia. I highly recommend this tour.

Very Informative and Safe The tour guide, Neil, not only provided up close views of the promised kangaroos and koalas but also the red-necked wallaby and the black/swamp wallaby! The most unexpected and special parts of the tour were spotting an Emu as soon as we entered the reserve and the opportunity to see a pond where platypuses (platypodes?) live! A mix of luck and Neil's expert knowledge allowed us to actually get close enough to see the beak and the body of a platypus as it dove around the pond. If this all wasn't enough, Neil specializes in birds and was able to provide a wealth of information on the various birds we spotted during the tour. He was even able to show us the location of a very successful bowerbird and his meticulously crafted bower. Overall it was a wonderful and informative experience where I felt comfortable and safe the entire time with Neil and the other solo female traveler that joined us. There is no cell reception for most of the tour, so keep that in mind. I also recommend closed toe shoes, long trousers, and a light jacket or sweater during the cooler months. Amazing tour, huge thanks to Neil for the great experience!

We did the full day guided tour and it was very much worth the time and money. Bob (our guide and minibus driver) was amazing, so knowledgeable but also funny, kind and patient with my mum who doesn't have the best mobility. He made sure we had a wheelchair at all the longest walking spots which mum really appreciated. The day didn't feel rushed and I am grateful to have learned more about the origins of Canberra and how the city became what it is today. We had a fab day!

Tour of Canberra This tour provides a great introduction to Canberra and covers the city’s origins. Our guide Neil grew up in the city and it was great to have his “insider” perspective. He also suggested other places to visit beyond the tour. Highly recommend!

Very comprehensive and informative tour
Neil was a great tour guide with a great knowledge of the various Canberra sights and history

Full Day Highlights of Canberra We had an absolutely wonderful tour of the capital with Canberra Guided Tours.
Neil was our guide and he proved to be a wealth of information, not at least about Australian politics and history. Difficult questions were answered clearly and meticulously.
The whole tour was above eight hours long and a fantastic introduction to Australia and particularly the uniqueness of Canberra for us.
We are so happy that we could go on this outstanding tour. Neil is one of the very best guides we’ve ever had, and we sign up for guided tours in almost every town we visit abroad.

Time to show the rest of the family Have been to Canberra many times in my youth. It was time to show my wife. This tour was to to orientate ourselves and to plan our week. It certainly didn't disappoint. The guide Neil was very passionate about how Canberra came to fruition. Very knowledgeable and the rest of the day just flowed. I highly recommend this tour, it was a small group able to befriend other tourist, we saw all the highlights and was able to plan the rest of our trip. Thank you for a great day.

We had such a great day. Neil was very knowledgeable and fun! It was our first time in Canberra and this tour was perfect for us. Highly recommend it!

Visit Canberra! You won’t be disappointed. It’s a stunning and exciting city. I highly recommend this exceptional tour. It was a great way to discover the beautiful city of Canberra. Darryl was an excellent tour guide and extremely knowledgeable. My husband and I had a great day.

Great day trip! Very informative, small group tour, lovely people. Guide Bob was so informative and engaging Parliament times were fascinating. Great day trip .

Great full-day tour with all highlights of Canberra. Interesting (fun) facts on the tour of the Old Parliament House and Australian Parliament House. The drive through Canberra’s diplomatic district was enjoyable. We had time to spend in the old and new Parliament Houses and especially in the Australian War Memorial, which was a moving experience.

Well worth the money and time this Tour. The tour co-ordinator Simon knowledge was A+ and a easy going welcoming manner. ✅👍🏻

WonderfulbExperience The guide Nile is very jind, helpful , and knowledgeable . It was a nice trip. We saw birds , platypus, koala, and Kangaroos. The guide was the best. He has his own books in birds. It was wonderful experience.

Not to be missed. Do this tour first to understand Canberra. What a great tour to take to see so much in one day. Our tour guide, Bob, was a delightful man, with a great sense of humour, who knew so much about Canberra and its history. He answered all our questions and had many anecdotes that kept us entertained. We were never rushed and had plenty of time to look around at the sites.
I truly recommend this tour to be taken early in your stay. It explains so many aspects of Canberra.

Great day tour! Simon was an amazing guide. Super friendly and knowledgeable. I liked the small size of the group and enjoyed the day a lot. Great overview of Canberra and it‘s history/present.

Great tour of Canberra. Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. Good choice of locations to visit, all steeped in history. The War Memorial was the highlight and the best way to end the tour.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND Simon was the perfect host. Visited The Royal Military College and The New Parliament Building.

A big thank you from us both.

If you want more personal insights into Canberra then the money spent on a personal guide is not wasted.

Highly recommend.

Slight confusion on the pickup time which changed a few times and once without telling us so we had to hang around for 30 minutes.
Anyway, all great news after that. Excellent guide, comfortable mini bus.
The guide, Neil, added so many stories to the facts that kept us engaged throughout. So many interesting places. Weather was inclement so the guide changed the order so we could have the best views.
He would stop in so many extra places so we could see churches, memorials and Kangaroos even.
Thoroughly recommended. We think we prefer Canberra to Sydney!
