Spies in the Capital - a great experience!
Such a great tour! It was a lovely walk and I learned so much. Our guide was so full of fantastic stories about women who were involved in espionage in different ways which she told with great vigour - such a colourful history we have. Thanks so much to our guide for making it such a great experience.

A must do in Canberra
I am from New Zealand and have never visited Canberra before. The She Shapes History walking tour was the ideal way to learn some Australian history and to gain an insight to the parliamentary area Our guide Eleri was so knowledgeable and friendly. An absolute highlight of my holiday. If you want to be inspired, see some amazing architecture and art and be inspired by brave, intelligent, hardworking women. Book this tour

We did the Spies in the capital Walking tour in Canberra. We learnt a lot about different women and their impact on the security of our country. Veronica was an excellent guide with lots of interesting facts and stories. We will definitely do more of these tours. We were told that the tours are also expanding to Sydney and Melbourne. We were also lucky enough to have the owner of this business come along on the tour as well, her name is Sita and she is also a fountain of historical information. If you get a chance to do one of these tours I would highly recommend you do so.

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.

On a gorgeous Autumn camberra morning we were entertained with stories of many amazing women who have shaped Canberra. These women were not properly recognised for their achievements due to laws of the day.
These brave women broke down barriers to let us have the freedoms we enjoy today.
Stories were told as Stories have been told on this.land for millennia.
Charming an entertaining!
With the added allure of stickers and Easter eggs ....audience participation was high!
A thoughly enjoyable experience.
Thankyou Millie

I’m in Canberra for a short time, and I’m so happy I came on this tour. I did the night tour of Spies in the Capital with Millie and she was so amazing I came back the next day to do Badass Women of Canberra tour. Millie was exceptional, she was so kind, receptive, and you could tell how much she loves what she does. I would recommend over and over and I can’t wait to do these tours in Melbourne when they get there!

Zoe! It was so lovely to meet you! I can see you've become a Can-bassador! It was my absolute pleasure to have you on my tours two days in a row! A very big compliment =) Look out for SSH in Melbourne, Sydney and one day hopefully Canada! Keep sharing your incredible enthusiasm with your students - I would have loved to have had you as a teacher when I was at school.

Don't miss the stories of women who have influenced the Australia of today. You'll be surprised and entertained.
Who said Canberra was boring? There was nothing boring about the two-hour stroll around the capital triangle with a She Shapes History guide. Every step and stop revealed fascinating stories about the women who have shaped the history of Australia, often unrecognised or their work undocumented.

The Spies in Canberra tour was so intriguing. I appreciated that good and bad contributions to spy work were dished out! Loved how engaging the tour guides were, they made a comfortable atmosphere for everyone to chat and ask questions!

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.
