Great day - John was very helpful, friendly and had lots of good advice for our day. The very bad storm made it impossible to get out to the pickup point, the next hourly pickup we were then the only ones on the bus he dropped us off at our accommodation, greatly appreciating after a long full day. Would recommend this day to anyone. Lorraine Michaels

Canberra in one day - You can stay at the main sights for an hour or two before being picked up by John. He knows Canberra and has a lot to tell while driving.

Getting to know Canberra - John was a great guide. I spent two days with him. He introduced himself to us all and asked us what specifically we wanted to see. Then he suggested how long we would need at each venue and how several venues could be combined at a stop. He made suggestions about where we could get a drink or lunch and found out where each of us was staying so he could time when we should return. He dropped my husband and me back to the light rail terminus as it was on his way home. On one of the days when John was finding out where some other passengers had come from my husband discovered that it was the same town where he had been born and that they had a number of friends and acquaintances in common. It was a tour where people became friends and shared their experiences.

Amazing Experience with John - John is a great tour guide. He was always on time from wherever he had to pick/drop us, and he even sang for us a few songs before our departure. Overall, loved the concept of Hop on and Hop off, will recommend everyone to take the earliest slot possible for you, so that you can cover most of the places.

Hop on hop off bus, must do. - You get information about Canberra that you wouldn't know of if you just drove around yourself. You can't see everything in one day though unfortunately. So pick 2 or 3 places to see. Start early if you can. It will take you all day. John is a friendly tour guide. Thanks John.

Canberra hop on hop off. - Plan your day well, the time goes really fast. Work out what you want to see and stick to it as the driver can try and persuade you to do otherwise which in turn may see you run out of time.
