Visit Australia’s incredible capital city and see unique architecture, museums, galleries and more!

$162

Canberra Day Trip

Canberra Day Trip
Your guide will pick you up in the morning from one of three predetermined locations in Sydney.

You will cruise through the NSW Southern Highlands through typical small Australian country towns. We’ll stop somewhere along the way so you can grab a coffee (not included in the price) and stretch your legs before arriving at Canberra. We take a guided tour at Canberra Parliament House; an architectural masterpiece costing $1.1 billion. From the inner walls of power to walking on the roof, this is an amazing spot to explore.

We then take a break for lunch (not included in the price, around US$10) before we spend two hours of free time at the National Museum of Australia. The modern National Museum of Australia is well-known for controversial expositions regarding key issues of Australia’s social history, people and events.

After your free time here, you’ll rejoin the group for a visit to the Australian War Memorial. Time for reflection as you’ll learn about the legends of Gallipoli, the ANZACs and sacrifices and losses suffered by Australians in past wars fought around the world. We then take a drive through Yarralumla, one of Canberra’s largest suburbs for a close look of the many national embassies. Each embassy is uniquely designed to reflect aspects of their country’s culture.

We’ll drop you back off at your pick up location or in the city at approximately 8:30pm.

The tour leaves on Saturdays. If you don’t want to purchase lunch, be sure to bring your own, as this is not included!
