Learned so much about Canberra and Australia!
(tripadvisor)

Our trip to Canberra, from Sydney, was truly wonderful. We learned so much from our tour guide, and coach driver - both were extremely well informed and worked together well to keep us moving and on-time. The tour leader had hand-outs for us, diagrams of the city of Canberra, and got us very involved in understanding the history and architecture. The bus trip is long but there was a lot of information delivered along the way - do your best not to doze off!
Our only complaint was that there were 49 people and only one tour guide, so difficult to hear sometimes, and difficult to keep the entire group together.
Great Trip

Great way to see the capital from Sydney. I originally thought about making a day trip to Canberra on my own from Sydney, but found this tour and decided I would try it instead and I’m glad that did. I saw everything in Canberra that I wanted to and the tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. If you want to see Canberra in a day from sydney, this tour is the way to go. I wouldn’t hesitate to book this tour again.
