What a wonderful building to visit especially the library! Our tour guide, Marika, was amazing - she answered so many questions without hesitation. A nice way to spend a morning or afternoon. More

We took in the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa from across the way and it looked spectacular. There were at least eight Canadian flags flying on the beautiful buildings and the tulips were in bloom. The sky was a blue to die for. More

We did not get to see inside the parliament buildings as there was a right to life protest going on out front of the buildings. More

Took a 30 minute tour of the parliament buildings. Our guide, Charlotte, was friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately the house of commons was sitting, so we weren't able to visit, which was a downer. More

The architecture is just beautiful outside as well as inside. Don't forget to take the free tour that is offered as this is very educational and it explains a bit of our parliament background. More

Going to Parliament Hill to see the buildings is a must- and make sure you take time to do the tour, it is worth it. The guides are very knowledgeable and the interior is stunning. More
