I even spoke with the operator 1.5 weeks ago, was assured I would get my refund and I’m still waiting for it!! Not good enough.
My 2 tours were cancelled, which I wasn’t notified about. I only knew this when I called on the day of my tour, several times, to confirm pick up times. My tour was cancelled due to the guide being unwell, which I’m understanding of. The tour was cancelled several days before and I didn’t receive any notification of this at all.
I was assured I would get my refund. Which I have NOT! I have sent multiple emails, called multiple times, left voicemails and none of these have been responded to! I booked directly with the company. I’m still waiting for my refund. Upon looking further into this issue, this is not a first with this company and people have had the same issues with getting their money refunded.
I have done extensive travel in Australia, and abroad, and I have NEVER had this absolute lack of professionalism from any tour company or business.
If the business owners are reading this: action my refund ASAP!

Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable sharing fascinating historical facts, local insights and stories that brought Canberra's landmarks to life. Simon's expertise made every stop memorable and interesting.
If, like us we only had 3 days in Canberra this tour provided 5 exhibitions in one day.
The main highlight was the War Memorial. Very emotional and with the new extension its a fantastic exhibit to finish a fabulous day.
Thank you again Simon.

Thank you Neil.
The tour was in a small group, which made it relaxed and personal. Even though our hotel was outside the city centre, the convenient pick-up and drop-off made everything easy. What really stood out was how flexible the tour was — Neil adjusted the program to suit the weather and the interests of the group.
Overall, a fantastic experience. Highly recommended, a perfect 10/10.
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.
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.
It was a great day.
Graham was a fantastic tour guide and really made the day for us.
Well worth doing
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.
Bob (your guide) is such an asset to this company,very knowledgeable and so friendly. Just book you wont be sorry
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.
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
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.
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!
