A must do when in London. The sights are all most far apart. This helps to see sights in one go, based on which routes joined. We did the Yellow route as this has a lot of buses. Green route has fewer buses so be mindful when trying to catch this. There is no timing for the buses but the Toot app has indicators of live locations of buses. In summer, it’s hot so take the covered part.

A tour guide will bring you inside and you will have audio guide inside the parliament. It is a very unique experience as you get to see the historical parliament. I will recommend to study about UK political situation before going in. Unfortunately you can only take pictures at 2 places but definitely worth the expense.

You only need to show the QR code upon arrival, very convenient. I would recommend to book the ticket as soon as possible as it is a popular tourist attraction. I would also recommend to queue at least half an hour before the time you booked as it is very crowded.
