Will leave 5 stars once liberated by New Zealand.
Really appreciate great tour around both parliament chambers, full of history.
Magnificent building and surrounding gardens
Centrally located and easily accessible to locals and tourists alike. Tours run twice a day on “non-sitting weekdays”(check the calendar online). We popped in the day before to ask about the tours and the receptionist both kindly explained the relevant information and also put down on the schedule to alert the guide we would be back the next day. Come a bit early to pass through an easy security check point (bag scan and metal detector).
We were given a tour by Charles who immediately showed his knowledge and passion for all things Tasmanian heritage, beginning our tour in a gallery of government and cultural artefacts, explaining the history of the building itself. Highly recommend him as a guide.
The tours are a great choice for a spare hour in the city for anyone interested in history, but also great as a primer on the system of government for new Tasmanians, foreign visitors, or children! Charles thoroughly explained the roles and proceedings of each house of parliament and how they pertain to the outcomes of government!
(P.S., those on tours are welcome to take photos anywhere outside of the security/ entry reception)

I did a regular scheduled tour and it was great. I thought I knew a fair bit about our Parliament House and our system of government before. Now I know a few things.
Unreal - loved it. We were so lucky to get Rosie as our tour guide, who really brought the building alive! And her recommendations for “must do” activities in Hobart (scrawled on a piece of paper) became our inadvertent schedule for three days! Legend, thank you!
Incredible tour from Charles - highly recommend for any tourist seeking to understand this chapter of the state’s history
