A must do
Excellent informative and extremely well narrated ,fun tour. A must do
Women in Australian history.
Comfortable walking distance with plenty of information about spies in the capital. Good to get a behind the scenes look at some of the buildings and people in Canberra. Veronica was enthusiastic and engaging… and who knows who might end up being a spy from our tour group! I look forward to the recommended reading list on "spies“ and women in Australian history who have been up til now unrecognised…(sent to my email please) and therefore getting a balanced history lesson. Women in Australian history should be compulsory education.

Brilliant tour! Our guide Tash was extremely knowledgeable and very entertaining. 10/10
It was ok.
It was ok. Stories were interesting, but left you wanting to know more. I didn’t feel like there was an ending to some of the stories. Photos passed around in a folder were sometimes quite small. Not inspired to do other tours. Walking part was easy and not too far.
good tour of women’s history
we thoroughly enjoyed our walk. veronica was friendly and engaging. the stories she told were interesting and even surprising. i would go on another of their tours again.
