Reviews

Superb guide tour
Rotiman1, 11-11-2022
We booked the 10 o’clock tour as the 11 wasn’t on the website. After talking to Peter on arrival he happily swapped us to the 11 o’clock tour as that offered the light in the shrine. We used the additional tour to explore the excellent museum and the crypt. The museums was much more accessible than The Australian War Memorial in Canberra.
Peter’s tour was excellent. His explanations and knowledge gave a great insight into the Shrine. Being in the actually shrine when the “light” hit the spot, the honour guard and the RAAF flautist make the visit both memorable and moving.
A must see!

Highly recommend. Very interesting and the free guides are super knowledgeable. The views are terrific too and are just an extra benefit!
Worth the tour!

Had a wonderful experience at the Shrine of Remembrance tour. Our guide Karl was very knowledgeable, kind and took us inside and around the shrine. This is probably best way to explore this iconic Melbourne landmark. I'm glad I took the tour and I'm filled with gratitude for all the sacrifices of the Australian men and women.
Lest we forget

Very informative experience. This memorial was so well thought out and planned. Our guide Michael took his time to explain different areas of the Shrine and the historical events of the Australian armed forces. Definitely recommend
The beauty of personal sacrifice

Being reminded how the bravery and heroism of many including my grandfather has given us inspiration to give freely for others freedom.
This Shrine memorial continues to inspire many people in a good way.
