Join a guided tour of the New Parliament House and feel the might and privilege of Australian democracy through this architectural masterpiece costing $1.1 billion. From the inner halls of power to walking on the roof, this is an amazing building.

Excellent driver and trip. Highly recommend
Guil, our guide is very knowledgable, kind, and accomodating. There were only 7 of us including Guil, so it was very convinient to set the group moving pace. The group was always punctual, even early at each stop so we get ample of extra time to enjoy the War Memorial and the Parliament House. The itinerary and stop length was just about right, giving everyone enough time to explore each venue that we visited. I enjoyed every stop, but the highlight of the trip for me was seeing a pack of kangaroo roaming wild near the embassies premise.
Well. Parliament and the monument are actually pretty boring. From my point of view, you can save yourself this trip.
I was originally booked on the your on Wednesday 30th April however the operator cancelled that tour but did rebook me for Saturday 3rd May. This left my plans up in the air whilst I waited for confirmation that the Saturday tour would go ahead. I was also confused as to why I was charged in US dollars and not Australian dollars when I booked whilst in Australia. As for the tour it was very good, personally I would have liked more time at the War Memorial Museum and less at the Museum of Australia. However that is a personal opinion. The guide was very informative and helpful.
The trip was nice , the guide was very informative and punctual. One big lack of the trip was the bus. It’s luxurious alright but have no leg room at all, that people who were sitting in aisle need to put their leg out in the aisle. Can you imagine the one in window need to manage in a way for a ride of 3 hours. I am 162 cm and yet I struggle with sitting position for 3h, pls be considerate it’s long trip with some of bumpy toll roads. The rest was nice. The tour guide was very nice offering to take our pictures.
Challenging and long trip, excellent guide, professional and informed, complete and detailed city tour
Everything wonderful. Only the disco music in the vehicle the whole time drove me nearly to distraction
