This is the biggest parliament building in the world. You must go inside. It was a great tour and very informative.
Word of warning. Tour meeting is not at the “time” of the tour. They may have you meet 1/2 hour before but still show location as the meeting place and time. They will leave without you. Also, expect communication through WhatsApp . If that is not your typical form of communication, watch that app.
Thank you for the review. However, we already explain to you why the meeting time is 30 minutes prior to the starting time. Information that you already had on the voucher. The whatsapp message that we send every morning is just a REMINDER.
It was very cool to see the parliament! We got to see many rooms and they were all very cool! Would recommend
Anyone who wants to visit this building MUST bring their passport. Neither the Marcopolo travel guide, nor the guides, nor the hotel reception staff informed us about this. Since these sights are located outside, the trip was for nothing.
Great information at the forefront, easy to find. clearly to inform that you MUST Have a passport/national ID card physically, but norn still manages to leave it with the operator before we go to parliament. Nice tour and good information. Get and info that there is another tour for another part of the building, but was pleased with what we got to see. Funny and informative guide
You can book yourself - though need to do so 24 hours in advance, unless quiet when you may be able to "walk in". Overall Viator act as an expensive booking avenue as the "operator" is actually staff from within the site.
On the day of this tour, you’ll receive a WhatsApp (around one hour before the tour is due to begin), and around half-way down you’ll see a sneaky bit of information. You need to arrive at a different address 30 minutes before your advertised booking time. Don’t be late, they’ll go without you then be quite rude when you arrive!
Excellent visit to parliament , guide was very good. a bit of confusion about meeting place
It was totally unnecessary to use Viator service. There was no line to skip and there was no reason to meet at the office … the walk to parliament building was actually very hot and the lady who directed us to the building wanted us to wait in blazing sun! You just paid extra for the hassle when you could go directly to the building and have same guided tour buying a ticket (all tours have to be guided)
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
