Nice tour around the parliament, great instructions on how to get to the meeting point and when, keep in mind, that if tour starts at 11:00, you have to be at the point at 10:30. But great service, nice tour guide, a lot of information and valuable for the price you pay as you are entering a building that not thay many people have access to!

I thoroughly enjoyed my tour of the Palace of the Parliament. The guide was excellent and imparted the information and statistics in an easy to understand way, engaged with everyone and had a good sense of humour. I definitely recommend visiting the Palace of the Parliament when you are in Bucharest.

The tour of the Bucharest Parliament left an incredible impression! It was truly fantastic: very beautiful, interesting, and informative. The scale of the building, the luxurious halls, and the history of this place are impressive. The guide was engaging, so time simply flew by. We definitely recommend visiting!

It was really informative and the guide had a great sense of humour. There was a slight issue with finding the right entrance to the palace of parliament so if I can give any advice it would be to set off early to avoid a 5 k sprint around the building to find the correct entrance !

We had a problem with the plane (and didn't realise that it was an hour later than in Spain) and coul not arrive on time for the tour at 13:00 and it was changed at 15:00 with no problem. The guide was clear and explained very well the history of the palace

Good to inside the enigma of the heaviest building in the world! Guide was informative. Tour length inside the Palace of the Parliaments just right. Only thing that wasconfusing was timings. Tour booked for 3pm yet we had to meet at the office at 2.30 and only started the tour at 3.45. There was a lot of waiting around!
