Groups of ten or more should book a free guided tour with the Legislative Tour Office. Booking a guided tour will ensure that your group has priority access to the public areas of the Parliament Buildings.

Individuals or groups of nine or less do not need to make a reservation and can join one of our regularly scheduled free public tours.
