You see less than 1% of the parliament. There was a session ongoing so we didn't get to see the main chamber. This was not mentioned before hand. Make sure you go when there is a parliamentary recess or a weekend. The tour guide has a cold and dark sense of humour which went with the vibe, however the lady who gave us the wristbands was cold and unhelpful. Note that there a lot of stairs to climb incase you have issues. Overall didn't get to see much so not much value for money
Lots of margin built into your start time - meet your guid - walk to Parliament -15 min. Get to Parliament - go through security- wait after security for actual guide.
Nothing to review. Seemingly paid extra to meet someone elsewhere and she just walked us there and left us with the actual parliament guide. Just buy your tickets straight from the Palace of Parliament and save money.
Don’t waste time trying to find the entrance and figure out the tour schedule. It was worth it to have the tour arranged and we were walked through the whole process. The tour is worthwhile and the rooms and paintings are really beautiful.
A complete waste of time going through Viator. This is a trip that you could do simply on your own by going directly to the building and paying the entry fee. I paid nearly double to have a tour guide walk me to the building and then hand me over to a tour guide at the site. The building itself is impressive and worth the time, but save some money and do it yourself.
Very informative guide. We didn't realize you meet about a mile away and then walk to it with hoards of people.
The tours are all official tours offered by the palace of parliament, so what you book with the organizer is a guaranteed spot and someone walking you in so you don’t have to walk around the massive building, trying to figure out where the entrance is. As other reviewers suggested, booking here is way more expensive than buying at the window, but when Tripadvisor offers a discount, it’s totally worth it. The tour organizer was extremely responsive, explained in advance that no water is allowed in the building and even helped me store my water bottle (otherwise you have to empty the bottle at the entrance). I think it deserves a higher rating!
The tour was boring as you only see a tiny bit of the parliament and the same tour is available for just 17€ at the official Parlament.
Person at the office was not engaged with customers, very little inofrmation, we started late , guide at parlament was better , vosit is very limited to a few halls
A very interesting tour of this huge facility. The marble halls were amazing. Our tour guide was very well spoken and knowledgeable. There is a lot of walking, but well worth the journey.
