As you can see from our past review history, we have been on a lot of free as well as paid tours. This ranks right up near the top. The guide was awesome and very knowledgeable, and the surprise guests who pop in throughout are so much fun and they really bring context to the gravity of this historical building....

What I love about visiting the Parliament Buildings is that it's free! I've gone twice now and done both the guided tour (so much fun and so informative) and the self-guided tour (also fun and you can go at your own pace.) The architecture is beautiful and you'll learn a lot about our province while you're strolling around. Great for...

Nice from outside but not much on the inside. Was hoping to see what was in the inside of the domed area, but tours didn't go there.

This was perhaps one of the most accessible government buildings I have ever visited anywhere! A very friendly and approachable staff eagerly answers any questions a visitor might have. While very impressive on the outside, there is a lot to see inside that is both beautiful and historically significant. Self-guided tours are available. Definitely worth the visit... and it's free...

We took the free tour of the parliament buildings. I have done it before but it had been years, so it was great to have a look inside and be reminded of some of the historic facts. It was about 30 minutes, which was perfect. They give out tickets in front of the parliament buildings.

The building is beautiful and well worth a stroll around alone or with a guide especially if you're interested in history and the British connection

The Parliament buildings are always beautiful no matter what time of the day you go. During the day time, the are people sitting on the lawn, the flowers are beautiful, some horse and buggies with astonish clydesdale horses. The environment is always great and you can shoot great pictures from right across the inner harbor. You probably pass by a...
