Activity itinerary

Canberra

Experience the best of Australia’s capital on a bespoke, private luxury tour from Sydney to Canberra. Your day is defined by total flexibility and premium comfort in a brand-new Mercedes V-Class (max 7 guests). Led by an expert guide with 17 years of experience, you’ll discover iconic landmarks including the high-tech Parliament House, the moving Australian War Memorial, and the panoramic Mount Ainslie Lookout. Escape the crowds of large bus tours and explore the 'Garden City's' unique architecture, national museums, and hidden gems at your own pace. This is the ultimate tailored day trip for those seeking an exclusive, first-class insight into the heart of the nation.

Mount Ainslie Lookout

Begin your Canberra introduction with breathtaking panoramic views from Mount Ainslie Lookout. Discover the brilliant 'Garden City' layout designed by architects Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin. From this vantage point, see the perfect geometric alignment of Anzac Parade, Lake Burley Griffin, and Parliament House. It’s the ultimate way to visualize the city's unique history and design before we dive deeper into the capital.

Australian War Memorial

Enter through the award-winning New Main Entrance, featuring the striking glass Oculus that connects the heritage building to the sky. Pay your respects at the Roll of Honour and the Hall of Memory, home to the Tomb of the Unknown Australian Soldier. Explore the brand-new Anzac Hall (opening mid-2026) and see iconic exhibits like the Lancaster Bomber 'G for George'. > Walk through the light-filled Anzac Atrium to see the massive RF-111 strike jet and the HMAS Brisbane bridge. Your visit also includes time for quiet reflection in the Sculpture Garden, featuring the moving 'Animals in War' memorial and the statue of 'Weary' Dunlop. This world-class institution offers a deeply personal journey through Australia’s wartime history, from colonial conflicts to modern peacekeeping missions. A must-see for every visitor to the capital.

Museum of Australian Democracy

Step back in time at Old Parliament House, home to the Museum of Australian Democracy (MoAD). This heritage-listed icon offers a nostalgic and intimate look at Australia’s political soul. Enjoy unprecedented access to the surprisingly humble Prime Minister’s Suite, where leaders like Gough Whitlam and Bob Hawke shaped the nation. Walk through the heritage Senate Chamber, explore the authentic Media Rooms of the Press Gallery, and stand in King’s Hall—the heart of the building's 'Stripped Classical' architecture. Whether you're discovering the documents of the 1975 Dismissal or exploring the satirical 'Behind the Lines' cartoon exhibition, your guide provides deep insights into the dramas that unfolded within these white walls. A perfectly preserved time capsule of Australian history.

Australian Parliament House

Standing proudly atop Capital Hill, the 'New' Parliament House is an architectural masterpiece designed to emerge from the landscape. Opened in 1988, this iconic building is six times the size of its predecessor and serves as the vibrant center of Australian politics. Your visit offers the chance to stand beneath the massive 81-metre flagpole and walk upon the grass-covered roof for 360-degree panoramic views of Canberra’s Parliamentary Triangle. Inside, marvel at the Marble Foyer’s grand staircase and the monumental Arthur Boyd Tapestry in the Great Hall—one of the largest in the world. Explore the distinct green and red chambers of the House of Representatives and the Senate, and see the historic 1297 Magna Carta. On sitting days, you may even witness democracy in action during Question Time. A must-see symbol of national unity and design.
