Great communication following booking regarding meeting points etc. Both venues are stunningly beautiful and full of the history of budapest and Hungary. The Parliament tour is audio guided and takes around 45mins with plenty of opportunity to take pics. We also saw the changing of the guard which occurs each hour. The tour of St Stephens basilica was provided by a very knowledgeable local and we were even lucky enough to hear the organ playing as part of practice for a concert. The view at the top of st Stephens basilica is incredible, although not for the faint hearted if you don't like heights. There are lifts up & down, but to reach the top view there are stairs. Overall, this is a must do experience if visiting budapest

The view of the parliament building takes your breath away—it’s spectacular. As for the interior, it looks like a royal palace, but I think the best part was the changing of the guard—it was impressive!

It was such an amazing experience in these thermal baths. The building from outside as from inside is absolutely beautiful and inspiring. I have never seen so many saunas and thermal baths all together. It would also nice to see that you can play chess in the outside pools and also have food or a drink.
