Day tours usually run with a maximum of about fifty guests, so there is a friendly group atmosphere while still keeping things comfortable on board. Coaches are air conditioned, and mini coaches may be used for smaller groups.

Yes, the Canberra day tour is suitable for most ages. Infants under two usually travel free and children aged two to fourteen can travel on a child rate, with some conditions. The itinerary focuses on comfortable coach touring with regular stops, which works well for families and seniors who prefer less walking.

Most walking is light to moderate, such as moving between the coach, Parliament House public areas, the Australian Mint and a few lakeside viewpoints. There are no long or steep hikes. You can choose how much you explore at each stop, based on your comfort level.

You should bring a personal photo ID, as it may be requested before boarding the coach or when entering certain government buildings. Passports are only needed if you are travelling from overseas and using Canberra as part of a wider trip.

We recommend casual, layered clothing, a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, a light weatherproof jacket, a refillable water bottle and comfortable walking shoes. Canberra can feel cooler than Sydney at times, especially in autumn and winter.

Yes. The tour operator operates in most weather conditions including rain, hail and shine. If the weather is poor, the driver guide may adjust the order of stops or the amount of time spent outdoors to keep everyone comfortable.

A small day pack is fine for personal items such as a jacket, camera and water bottle. If you need to bring larger luggage because you are travelling on after the tour, please contact the operations team in advance so they can advise what is possible on your specific date.
