Secrets uncovered - 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.

a wonderful insight into the secret world of Canberra. An absolute delight. - 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.

Informative, entertaining tours, highly recommend - This was a fascinating tour about Women in Espionage in Canberra. We were lucky enough to have 2 guides, Veronica and the owner of the business Sita. Both guides were very informative about the history of women in espionage in Canberra. They are expanding into Sydney and Melbourne which I am sure will be very successful. I would highly recommend these walking tours.

Power to the women - Fantastic and informative tour. Our tour guide Sita was so knowledgeable and her protege Veronica was friendly and keen to learn. I learnt so much during the two hour tour, I look forward to doing another one soon. Super keen to check out the one in Fremantle when it starts.
