The guided tour is definitely worth it. In just an hour and a half, you'll be taken through various aspects of the Isle of Man Parliament and government agencies. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, answering every question. I felt like I learned a lot of fascinating history and local customs. Oleg Korolev
