It was a fantastic experience. The evening cruise is one of the most beautiful cruises, the ship glides silently across the water and its lights are reflected all around. Then, as if by magic, you see the Parliament appear in all its elegance and majesty, a feast of lights and emotions. On the opposite bank, the great Castle dominates Buda, still preserving the memory of its ancient splendor. For about an hour, you can let your imagination run wild, surrounded by lights and sparkling bridges, while sipping a good drink and enjoying something else if you wish. It's really worth it, but it's a shame it only lasts an hour.

This morning I visited the Parliament in Budapest with an audio guide and I was really very satisfied with the experience. The organization was impeccable: well-managed entrance, courteous staff, and no excessive waiting times. The audio guide was clear, well-structured, and full of interesting information that made the visit even more engaging. I didn't encounter any problems during the tour and felt comfortable throughout. I highly recommend this visit to anyone coming to Budapest: it's a truly unmissable cultural experience!

The tour of the Hungarian Parliament this morning was absolutely fantastic. Everything was very well organized, with a smooth and stress-free entrance. The building itself is breathtaking, and the interiors are even more impressive than expected. The audioguide was clear, informative, and perfectly paced, helping us understand both the history and the symbolism of this iconic place. A truly memorable experience and a must-do when visiting Budapest!

The Hungarian parliament building is beautiful inside and definitely worth the visit. The tour itself is short 30-40 mins with an audio guide and you can't linger as you are ushered along with a group by security guards. But you need about 1hr 15mins in total as the disorganised start of the tour takes ages - the name checking, passport taking, passport returning, tickets issuing. There must be a better way to organise this logistically.

The visit itself was very well organized and the parliament magnificent, On the other hand, the welcome left much to be desired: outside, waiting, information in English that was difficult for some to understand! IDs confiscated for 20 minutes ???? (Risk of fraud???). No explanation. Why not operate online? In short, we book online and it's worse than if we went straight to the ticket office! Sincerely

According to all the forums, the parliament was one of the must-see attractions, so we booked our tickets and we didn't regret it. The tour lasts about 45 minutes and includes an audio guide (clear and interesting), and there is a cloakroom (free) at the entrance (very convenient). Be sure to book well in advance if you want to have a choice of time slots with an audio guide in your language. Magnificent!

    The experience at Parliament, in general terms, was positive. Access was simple and well organized, and it was easy to find the guides responsible for directing and managing admissions. The entire reception and tour were conducted in a professional and efficient manner. As for the visit itself, the explanation was clear and structured, allowing us to see a significant part of the building, where the historical richness, institutional symbolism, and architectural grandeur are evident. However, I consider the entrance fee to be relatively high for the experience provided. I have visited other places where the value for money was more balanced and the overall experience more distinctive. There is also a particularly interesting and visually striking area, associated with the historical component of the Crown, where photography is not allowed. The rule is understandable, but it is a point that naturally limits the visitor's experience somewhat. In summary, it was a well-organized and interesting visit, although the price could be more reasonable. My overall rating would be 4 out of 5 stars.

    We were given very strict instructions to arrive on time, but then the hostess arrived at the last minute and spent a long time waiting for latecomers, collecting documents, and issuing tickets. Punctuality must be mutual, and if you recommend it by saying that latecomers will not be allowed to enter, then that's how it should be. Instead, we were forced to wait at least twenty minutes.

    It was an unforgettable visit. This Parliament building is the most beautiful place I have ever seen with my own eyes. I recommend visiting this place if you are in Budapest. I also recommend seeing the Parliament building both at night and during the day from different angles — it is truly beautiful!

    It was impossible to listen to the audio guide because there was a woman with a shrill microphone speaking in English, and between the noise from the speakers and her loud, shrill voice, it was impossible for anyone to hear, even with headphones. In fact, no one was wearing them. The parliament, on the other hand, was very well organized.

    Everything went really well. The guides arrived at the agreed meeting point ahead of time and organized everything. They speak excellent English and were really friendly. The Parliament is really worth seeing. So booking this tour was definitely the right decision! Thank you.
