The tour, although it is only for the 4th floor, is very nice and gives us some history of the town and its main building. We had a hard time finding the guide but finally managed. You don't have to enter the lobby where you get tickets to enter the museum and palace but outside the palace itself, in the square just outside the revolving door on the city side, not the Danube side. Courteous Manuel and colleague to call us by phone. Eventually visit done!

Hungarian Parliament is a must see of the city od Budapest. The audio tour is well organizaed and lasts enough time to see the most important places inside the building. The experience with Headput was very positive and it was very east to get the tickets following the clear instructions and reminders provided. It is definately recommended.

Le parlement est magnifique. Budapest est une ville surprenante, ses immeubles art déco etc...sont plein de charmes. L'Opéra rappelle un peu celui de Garnier, nous y avons passé une superbe soirée

La guide Dorothée a été parfaite et très attentionnée à chacun de ses clients. Ses explications tant en anglais qu'en espagnol sont très claires et pertinentes. Elle est disponible, patiente et ses explications sont détaillées. Je la recommande. Par contre Headout nous a vendu la visite du Parlement sans nous préciser qu'il y avait un city tour auparavant. Cela ne nous a pas fait de mal mais nous aurions aimé être mis au courant plus clairement.
