The guide gave us lots of explanations about little part of the Parliament, 3 % of the building we saw, other friends of mine had a guide in Italian and saw other sections of the Parliament , but they covered 7 %. The senate hall was the most beautiful.

I loved how the tour guide explained the visit. It was a really fun and instructive talk. I would have liked the access procedure to have been a little more streamlined because we had to wait a long time until all the participants were registered.

The ticketing was fine. If I have reservations, it is about the tour itself, which you presumably have no control over, and the quality of the venue. The security procedures rival those at an airport. The building is a curiosity more than something to appreciate aesthetically.
