Private Canberra Walking Tour

This private walking tour is a straightforward way to get a clearer sense of Canberra beyond the usual stereotypes. With your own local guide, you’ll walk through the city’s political and cultural heart, stopping at major national institutions and public spaces tied to Australia’s democratic history. It’s a more personalised option than a standard group tour, and suits travellers who want context while seeing the big landmarks on foot.

The tour starts at Parliament House, where your guide introduces the scale and design of the building, including its marble staircase and the contrasting Senate and House of Representatives chambers. From there, you continue to Old Parliament House Gardens to look at a site closely linked to Australia’s political past. You’ll then visit Magna Carta Place to see one of the rare 1297 copies of the Magna Carta. The walk also includes the National Library of Australia, the International Flag Display at Commonwealth Place, and finishes at the National Gallery of Australia, which holds the country’s largest collection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art. Admission is free throughout, and public transport is available nearby.
