Mind opening
Fabulous, informative tour with a knowledgeable and friendly guide. Quite an eye opener about our history. Highly recommended walking tour.
Great guide; entertaining tour.
Jane was a knowledgable and entertaining guide. We thoroghly enjoyhed the morning out. An easy walk; the two hours passed very quickly.
Exceptional experience!
Jane was a most engaging tour guide. The route was carefully constructed to highlight Australian parliamentary and First Nations history. We leaned about the many levels of significance embedded in the Parliamentary triangle, that shape the history our Australian community. We discovered the important and essential contributions of the women who have: built conceived Canberra as the heart of Australia; and the legislative framework that has enabled Australian women to become equal partners in its development. Thank you for a very memorable experience.
Brave women of politics
This was a very interesting tour which enlightened my knowledge of the wonderful women who are very often left unrecognised for their achievements.
Profound Experience!
A profound and well-organized tour! Jane was a knowledgeable guide who provided a fascinating look into Canberra’s political history. I highly recommend this for anyone interested in the stories of Australian women and First Nations activists who pushed for change. It’s a lovely walking tour, great for solo travelers, and runs perfectly on schedule. I learned so much. Well worth the time!
