About this tour
A 10–12 hour private tour of Canberra departing from Sydney, led by an owner-operator with seven years' experience. Travel in a dedicated vehicle to sites larger coach groups can't access, moving at your own pace through Australia's capital. Explore national monuments, cultural institutions, and leafy parklands that define the city's identity. Tailor the itinerary to suit your interests—whether you're drawn to political history, art galleries, war memorials, or the natural landscape surrounding Lake Burley Griffin.

What to expect
Your guide will collect you from Sydney and drive the 3 hours to Canberra. Once there, you'll stop at landmarks and precincts tailored to your interests—perhaps Parliament House, the National War Memorial, or cultural museums. The pace is unhurried; you're not racing through talking points but actually spending time at each site. Because the vehicle is yours alone, you can ask detailed questions and adjust the route on the day. You'll see both the grand civic design of the capital and quieter corners where buses can't venture. Bring a packed lunch or budget for meals at local cafés.
Good to know
Lunch is not included; plan to eat en route or in Canberra. The tour suits all fitness levels and welcomes prams, walkers, and service animals. Wear comfortable shoes and bring sun protection. Allow flexibility in your Sydney schedule—10–12 hours is the round trip, including drive time.
