“The tour of Parliament was excellent -- it is hard to get tickets so when I saw that this tour had tickets included, it was why I signed up. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and provided a lot of information - it was almost too much history so after a bit of time it was hard to embrace -- he was passionate about the tour - would have liked to have stopped at Heros Square but we drove around twice -- due to traffic and time constraints. I would do this tour again but would recommend an easier history lesson -”
