A fun and enlightening walking tour! - We absolutely loved the “Women of Canberra Walking Tour”.Our wonderful guide gave us insights into the fascinating and less well-known lives, activities and achievements of some extraordinary women who have been instrumental in bringing about positive change. The tour was interactive and was linked to the buildings, sculptures and statues we were passing. The time passed so quickly and we were left with a much deeper understanding and appreciation of Canberra and the women who have figured in its history.

Fantastic walking tour! - This is a fabulous walking tour! Our guide, Eleri, was so knowledgeable and lots of fun. So much interesting and important history about the women who shaped Canberra. The walk around the Parliamentary Triangle and the amazing views were an added bonus. I strongly recommend anyone visiting (or living in) Canberra to book a tour!!!

Must attend. - Excellent tour, well informed and researched. Interesting, thought provoking, humourous, accessible and friendly. We selected this tour because Spies in the capital wasn't running on the day we were in Canberra, but still worth every minute. We'll be back for the other tours soon. Highly recommend.

A worthy walk! - Wonderful insight into how women have shaped Canberran history. Gems of stories left out of history books. Wonderfully knowledgeable guide and a fabulous morning. Look forward to joining their other walks soon. Absolutely recommend.
