Axel did an amazing job today creating a fun environment for us. He was also extremely kind and relaxed. We had great conversations and all of our questions were answered. Good job Axel, hope to see you again when we will come back! The building itself is great. It's amazing to have this type of access of such important infrastructures on our canadian history. Well done on this tour!
I had a wonderful experience on the House of Commons tour. Booking online was quick and easy, which made planning ahead very convenient. The guided tour itself was excellent, our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole visit very engaging and informative. One tip: be sure to bring valid ID with you, as it’s required for entry. A highly recommended experience!
July 2025. Very informative tour. And free! They take accesibility seriously providing folding stools and elevator rides as opposed to stairs. Do try to book early since it does fills up (on Saturday morning/noon in our case). I do hope to take the tour again when they return to the main building.
We came here in April 2025 and our guide gave us a fantastic tour. She was amazing. Took us through and gave us some great back stories. Not a huge wait to get in. Very quick and efficient. If you're coming to Ottawa, definitely take advantage and do one of these tours. 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Although the parliament is closed due to construction, everything we needed to see was available in the west/south block. Beautiful experience, and the guide she was very informative, explaining everything in detail. My favorite was the House of Commons. There was also a cute gift shop with reasonable prices. I purchased maple syrup which tasted perfect, not too sweet but just right. The admission is free, but will need to be booked online. Please arrive 10 mins prior. I would also recommend not to drive as parking can be tight. If you are driving, arrive half an hour early.
