It was a long trip from Sydney to Canberra but it is worth it. The establishments we visited are interesting. The Australian Parliament is so huge, and the structure is very impressive!

The trip itinerary was really good! Covered a good number of spots in Canberra and there was sufficient time to explore all spots as well. However, the people on the trip were the worst! They were all very rude and very impatient. The tour guide was good with his knowledge however was being too juvenile and wasn’t really keeping everyone in check! He was also making fun of a lot of the people on the tour which gets a bit annoying after a while. I have travelled the world but never thought the tour in my own home would be one of the worst! Will never travel again with Colorful trips again. However Canberra is amazing and defs worth visiting!

The tour was good. The bus went to Canberra with 1 break in between allowing us to stretch our body & have coffee. The places that we went in Canberra were excellent like, the Australian war memorial & the Parliament house. The driver could have let us know when we reached our exit point,though. As we are new in Australa, we didn't know when we reached our alighting point, hence we went further down that point. Upon asking later, we were told that we already passed the point. Suggestion to keep the passengers informed when they reach their alighting point.

The driver was also our guide and accompanied us exceptionally courteous, amiable, and provided us with insightful explanations throughout the tour. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and I wholeheartedly endorse this tour. Despite being a full-day excursion, it is certainly worth embarking on.

Our guide Piotr was amazing. So knowledgeable about everywhere we went: Museums, Parliament, Embassy Row and sites up and back. While the ride was long, he took breaks which made it much easier. HIGHLY recommend this tour and ask for Piotr!

We had our doubts about taking a 3 hour ride to Canberra and returning the same day, but the day spent in Canberra was well worth the trip. Peter, our driver/guide was excellent. His knowledge of the city was amazing. We stopped at all of the highlights of the city. The most interesting stop was the tour of the new parliament building where Peter explained how the Australian parliament and political system work. It was a long day and we were exhausted when we returned to Sydney, but the trip was fantastic.

I really enjoyed the pie at the first rest stop…I fell the information given before stepping on Mt. Ainsley lookout was great. I wished we have more time at the War Memorial. I really feel since we have limited time, an hour at the National Museum for lunch is wasted. We don’t have time at the Memorial and don’t have enough time at the Museum. I rather spend the time at the Memorial with lunch bought at the rest stop as an option. The parliament is informative and interesting. Again, wish we have a little more time. The tour guide and the driver were great. Thanks for a great day.
