El tour estuvo super organizado, Rosie y Leah were waiting for the groups as planned. Immediately they told us where to wait. The tour took aprox 50 minutes and it was worthy ! The Parliament is an extraordinary building full of treasures and amazing decoration. The Stairs and the curtains show a splendor of Budapest in all ways. The surrounding gardens and sculptures put more beauty and value to the tour.

I have taken this tour a few times with every new friend a take to Budapest. This tour of the parliament should be an absolute must for everyone. Fascinating history, magnificent building inside and out, the exploration of each room we saw was very informative, thank you! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The organization was seamless—no lines. They collected the participants’ documents (which they, of course, returned) and came back with the tickets after about 10 minutes. We entered right on time, and the audio guide was already ready after security!

A very well-organized tour of the Parliament. It’s a bit puzzling that photography is prohibited in the room where St. Stephen’s Crown is displayed, since that’s the main attraction of the place. The audio guide is well-produced. I highly recommend it!

The audio tour, available in a variety of languages, was enjoyable, and there was plenty of time to look around each room and take in the surroundings. I’d say it’s good value for the price.

    Worth a visit if you aren't paying too much. Overalll the tour doesn't take too long and the building ia very impressive. I accidentally picked the wrong date and lost the value on my tickets the agency don't offer any way to help. I went the morning I wanted in person at 7:45am and got same date tickets at cost. The Parliament releases same day tickets daily at cost.

    The audio guided tour was good. However, the collection of tickets was a real pain. We arrived on time, but have to wait. Non EU citizens do not need identity proof, but we were asked to bring proof. We are told we have to be there before 2.30pm or no entry. But ended up waiting till 2.45pm to enter.

    Did not like repeated emails about meeting time, all covered when ticket purchased. Request for response that emails had been read and understood, wasted my time. Two women who managed providing ticket were gruff, irritating and unpleasant. They result in Headout receiving a 0 satisfaction response.
