Additional information and frequently asked questions
Which version should I choose?
The regular tour is enough for most visitors. The extended one is about half an hour longer and adds a stop at Geddes Plan – the White City's town plan, based on the English "garden city" idea – along with more on the history and architecture of the buildings. Ideal for those with a background in architecture or design, or who simply want to go deeper.
