This is a guided history-focused bus tour of Canberra that uses virtual reality headsets at stops to explore major landmarks in a different way. Instead of moving a group through busy sites on foot, everyone stays seated on the bus during travel and uses the VR equipment once the bus stops. It is aimed at school groups, so it is more educational and structured than a standard sightseeing trip. The main draw is convenience: fewer logistics to manage, no separate entrance fees mentioned, and less stress around weather or moving large groups between attractions.
Why backpackers love it
This is a niche option rather than a typical backpacker activity, but it could suit travellers who want a low-effort overview of Canberra without much walking or dealing with changing weather. The format keeps things simple, and the accessibility setup is a genuine plus. It is also useful if you are curious about the city’s history and want something more structured than just hopping on a regular bus. That said, the listing is clearly geared toward schools, so solo travellers or small groups may want to check suitability before booking.
You’ll travel by bus between Canberra landmarks with a guide covering the history, culture and significance of each location. While the bus is moving, the VR headsets are packed away for safety. At each stop, passengers put on the headsets for an immersive segment linked to that attraction, then continue on to the next location. The tour runs for around three hours and is designed to keep the group together in one controlled setting rather than splitting time across multiple walk-through visits.
