"I attended a guided tour during Open House, however these guided tours are run most weekdays and are free. The guides are amazing. Thoroughly recommend."
"Love love love Justin - an amazing tour guide and such an integral part to having a good time when touring the parliament building. Such a beautiful piece of architecture, was glad to be able to take a look!"
"We joined free public tour here with two kids! The guide was amazing, super fun! We learned a lot of things about the building’s history and the parliamentary system in Victoria. It was really good for kids, the guide asked them to do some interesting roles during tour and everyone might involve. You also can take pictures during tour as long as we do not leave the group."
"I booked the free tour thru Parliament House and it was a lot more interesting than I expected.....and I highly recommend doing it. Lots to see and learn about, lots of interesting trivia facts and an opportunity to sit in the seats of the Upper House chamber (red) and Lower House ( green) Tour guides are great at keeping the tour light and fun. My personal favourite part of the tour was the gorgeous library...and the front door."
"Free walking tour is available for parliament tour which is available on specific days and timings. The information for the same is available in website. We were allowed to sit in the chairs where discussions take place. And moreover the astonishing thing was the ceiling designs were made of gold during that period and those were extraordinary. Must place to visit once in lifetime."
