The guided tour helped pull together historical aspects we gathered from several other tours in London. This was a great history lesson! The tour follows the path used by the Queen when she opens Parliament each November. more

The guides are enthusiastic and interesting. There are a lot of tours all going at the same time however this was not a issue. Be prepared to be on your feet for 2 to 3 hours to take in the interesting history these awesome buildings hold. Security is high,however this is only to be expected. You will take a journey... more

If you are in London in August or September, be sure to put the Houses of Parliament on your list of things to see. There is a lot of security to get through-we had our ticket checked 6 times- and were also given a security pass to wear. If you like history and learning about the government it is a... more

The tour is extremely well organized and guided. There are many tours going at once. We had a great guide and the stories, history and traditions are well worth the price of admission. People with young children should not go on the tour. We had a two year old that was very disruptive. It can be hard to hear because... more

The building won't disappoint. However, maybe it's to do with trying to herd a group of people around a high security building but some blue badges (official guides) can be a bit officious. Makes it a bit like a school tour......"oh do keep up Jenkins!"....you know what I mean. more

The building is amazing both inside and out and our tour guide was very informative. It was great to hear the history of the place and see what we had previously only seen on television. It can get hot so I would advise taking a bottle of water around with you. I wish it had been longer as I would... more

Early last summer, I met a gal I'd only known online to take a tour of the Houses. She was more than interested as she was British. Even as an American, I loved it because I enjoy English history. Yes, security is heavy and no picture taking, so possibly plan on leaving your camera with the guard and any other... more

I really enjoyed my short visit to Parliament. I have a huge interest in history, so that probably explains my excitment about visiting the Houses of Parliament. I would recommend taking the guided tour, it was very interesting. I posted a photo and some more details on my visit on my travel blog if you're interested to read more at:... more

We were able to watch MP's debate some interesting issues during our visit. If you have an interest in international politics, this is a great place to visit. It is also an affordable way to rest your feet while getting a great cultural experience. You can stay for as long or as little as you want which is pretty cool... more
