Best Houses Of Parliament Tours & Trips

Officially called the Palace of Westminster, this landmark Gothic building along the River Thames is where the House of Commons and the House of Lords meet in London's City of Westminster. This important site has been the location of former churches, palaces and even maybe a Roman temple. Palace of Westminster became the official meeting place for British Parliament in 1512 after then King VIII vacated it after a fire. Another fire in 1834 destroyed much of the structure. The "New Palace" was designed by architect Charles Barry and built from 1840-70. Visitors to the Palace of Westminster are able to tour the building as well as watch debates and meetings.

7-Day England & Scotland Classic Loop Tour: London, Edinburgh, York, Cambridge, Lake District & Stratford-upon-Avon

This was such a memorable trip! The booking process was seamless and the 24-hour support gave me confidence before departure. The itinerary is packed but very well organized. York felt like stepping back in time, and the Highlands scenery was stunning. Hotels were clean and breakfast was decent every day. Our guide really made the trip fun and informative. Would absolutely travel with this company again.

A Flexible and Fun Adventure

This trip was such a great mix of flexibility and guided exploration. The boat ride on Lake Windermere was so peaceful, and I loved getting to choose how much time we spent in each city. The highlight for me was definitely York’s city walls – what a way to step back in time!

Absolutely loved this tour — Tours4Fun’s platform made booking effortless, and anytime I had a question, their customer service responded quickly, even late at night. The itinerary was well‑balanced, mixing classic landmarks like Edinburgh Castle and Cambridge with scenic drives through the Lake District. Transportation was smooth — the coach was spacious, and breaks were frequent. Our guide was exceptional, engaging everyone with humor, history, and local tips. Hotel accommodations were clean and comfortable, and breakfasts set us up perfectly each morning. This trip gave me a perfect taste of England and Scotland in just a week. Highly recommended!
