View on Google MapsIt was a fun thing to do. Learnt lots. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. Nice small group. Found shady places to stop in a warm day. Will look at other tours they run too. Thanks.
She Shapes History is a company that specializes in 'hidden history', so this tour is a perfect example of what they do. Veronica brought to life stories about espionage in Australia and some of the women involved in it. I also loved the QR codes handed out at the end leading to further information about some of the people talked about. This is an outstanding idea for those who want to dig a bit deeper. This was a fun and educational way to spend 2 hours and $60. Highly recommended.
We met at the Hyatt in Canberra. Our tour guide Veronica was right on time. We immediately started out and visited several sites around Canberra, centering on the area around the Old Parliament Building. Veronica shared an immense amount of information about the topic. It was clear that she had done her own research, and she shared quite a bit of it. She also shared information from other guides she knew. The stories are fun and interesting. The tour lasted 2 hours and it was chock full of information all the way through. The tour doesn't make you walk very far from the Hyatt, so it's not tiring. There's opportunity to sit in several places which was a nice break. She snapped a photo of us all and will send it to us with links with more information. This is very casual, informal type of tour with questions encouraged. I definitely recommend it, and there's other tours in Canberra and Sydney with more coming in other places. The cost is reasonable and 2 hours is a good length.

Such an interesting and well researched tour. Our guide Tash, was such a wonderful storyteller and it was fun to learn about women specifically in the context of espionage. Really fun way to wrap up our Canberra leg of our visit to Australia.
Brilliant concept to highlight how so many women have contributed so much to our country. Great tour, relaxed, informative and engaging.
Fantastic experience and tour guide! Will be back next time I'm in Canberra and can't wait to try what they offer closer to home in Melbourne. Bring a hat and sunscreen and sunglasses!
Outstanding Spies in the Capital tour with Tash. I was much more enlightened and wiser by its end. I will look for these tours wherever I travel and recommend strongly to all the women and men that I know, and those that I dont! Well done Sita. I would love a tshirt! I am looking forward to tours starting in Adelaide, my home town.
Because Canberra is so spread out, the distances are greater than the usual walking tour. It wasn’t a problem for us but probably should be provided in the information.Tash our guide, was fantastic.
Tash gave us a comprehensive and entertaining tour of our history of spies and espionage in our national capital. I thoroughly enjoyed her presentation and enthusiasm! I would definitely highly recommend these tours!
Our guide Veronica was fabulous. She was so passionate about the topics and informative. She was very engaging and informative. We learnt so much in such an entertaining way. It was a cold night but with the hand warmers supplied made it more comfortable. Highly recommended this tour. Actually we loved Veronica !
