Wonderful day in Canberra
Due to our schedule, we could not get away to Canberra for several days, but still wanted to go. We really did not want to take a really long drive on some big bus with no control over when and where we could stop. Some how I came across Sydney Private Day Tours and started talking to Julia. She was so helpful and we decided to book with her even though it was more than we normally spend on a tour. She and Scott make a good tag team and we got to see and do a lot that day. It was like traveling with friends. We had a rest stop at Lake George with tea and muffins. We got to see the Capitol Building and the War Memorial. We had a nice picnic lunch at Lake Burley-Griffin. On the way back to Sydney we stopped at Trappers Bakery for meat pies and sprouted grain sourdough bread. At the end, we were given a sweet little thank you gift. They really know how to treat their customers right and I wish them the best in the future as they grow their tour company.
Response from the operator: Dear Ivy, Thank you for your lovely feedback! It was a pleasure to meet you and Rich and to show you around our bush capital, Canberra. We are so glad you got to see the sights and museums that you were interested in and even the Kangaroo's hopping around near Goulburn on the return journey! Wishing you all the best and safe travels! Regards Julia & Scott

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Canberra - The National Capital | Full Day Private Tour | Departs from Sydney: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sydney.
How much does Canberra - The National Capital | Full Day Private Tour | Departs from Sydney cost?
+
Prices start at $349 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sydney usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Canberra - The National Capital | Full Day Private Tour | Departs from Sydney take?
+
Plan for about 11 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sydney is not rushed.
Is Canberra - The National Capital | Full Day Private Tour | Departs from Sydney worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sydney, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Canberra - The National Capital | Full Day Private Tour | Departs from Sydney?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Canberra - The National Capital | Full Day Private Tour | Departs from Sydney suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Canberra - The National Capital | Full Day Private Tour | Departs from Sydney?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sydney can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sydney and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Canberra - The National Capital | Full Day Private Tour | Departs from Sydney start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sydney within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sydney?
+
On Outty we rank every Sydney experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include WILD Wombat and Kangaroo Day Tour, All Inclusive, Depart Syd: Blue Mountains Best All Inclusive with Local Guide, Blue Mountain Small Group Tour All Inclusive. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sydney?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sydney?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
