Headout did a fantastic job in communicating with me regularly about the upcoming tour and providing important information. The tour representatives were on time and did a great job getting everyone checked in and ticketed for the tour. The audio tour was well done, informative and paced just right, allowing for good viewing time and photos. The Parliament building is magnificent inside and out. Definitely a tour not to be missed in Budapest.

Everything was very nice...Very good organization. Perfectly timed. Despite the large number of tourists, it was perfectly organized and quiet. What I find a pity, I would have liked to hear the descriptions of the individual rooms until the end, unfortunately this was interrupted earlier, because you walked on to the next room. Many, many thanks again Jeannette and Arnd Kauer

It was really beautiful, a wonderful palace. As for the tour, everything went according to what was communicated in the email received after booking. The directions were clear and simple, maybe the cost is a bit higher than the regular tickets. Considering that you get the group discount maybe you could think about lowering it a bit.

    Although the initial meeting was a little chaotic due to the number of people trying to figure out where to go, the tour itself is very well organized and the presentation seamless. It is an extraordinary building and an absolute must see work of art. Hungarians should be very proud of this beautiful monument to Hungarian artisans, craftsmen, sculptors and all the individuals involved in its creation.

    We had bought the tickets online in advance - it was very easy. We only had to exchange them for paper tickets on site. The guided tour with the audio program was very interesting and informative. The building itself is so impressive and imposing. The visit was definitely worth it!

    Ben was fantastic, highly recommend! Amazing how some people book these tours then sit on their phone the whole time and don't listen to the tour guide--absurd behavior. Despite the irritation, the tour was well designed and very efficient!

    The tour is great, albeit short (45 minutes). The guides hurry us from room to room. I'd say that for the price, despite the beauty of what we see, it's a bit steep. We're left wanting more...
