Is Houses of Parliament & Big Ben Tour worth it for history buffs?

Worth itFor history

For history & culture, Houses of Parliament & Big Ben Tour delivers.

You stand in the room where the country is actually argued over, and Westminster Hall's 900-year-old hammerbeam roof is genuinely jaw-dropping. The honest catch: it's history-dense and reverent, not flashy — bored kids will fidget, and tour dates are limited around sitting days.
