This walking tour packed as much as possible, in a single day - I was in Australia for 2 weeks during July 2023 and I also visited Canberra. I am glad that I opted for this walking tour. The tour guide spoke to us about the history and importance of each place that this tour covered. The national museum was iconic. This walking tour packed as much as possible, in a single day, thanks to the efficiency of the tour guide.
