‘I went on a tour recently with my daughter’s Gan. She went on a separate tour as the usual one I would not recommend for young children. However we had an enjoyable visit walking around and seeing how the Knesset operates. There are different tours that focus on different elements at the Knesset so it is probably best to phone ahead. We had a picnic in the gardens opposite after our tour.’
