We were waiting 20 minutes before as requested but were not given our tickets until after 9:30. It was a bit confusing as to who the guide was. Once we got the ticket we waited in line to go through security screening. The audio guide was great and easy to listen to. The stairs up kept giving us WOW moments with the intricate ornate decorations. The information about the parliament and the rulers was great. We really enjoyed the tour.

It was a little tricky to figure out where to pick up the tickets. We had to wait outside under the security camera at the entrance at the specified time for an employee to give us the tickets. The audio guides are very convenient, and the commentary is interesting. A wonderful visit!

Headout made it simple and easy to purchase Hungarian Parliment tickets. The Headout representatives, LIAH & AKOS, were very easy to identify and were very helpful and clear in the information they provided. Headout did an excellent job of communicating all of the information that we needed in order to have a successful and enjoyable tour of the Hungarian Parliment. I would have given Headout 5 stars, except that they are a third party reseller, and mark up ticket prices considerably from what you would pay buying directly . We tried to buy our tickets directly a month prior to our planned trip, but they were sold out due to third party vendors buying blocks of tickets.

Well organized and run tour. Saw all the sights listed and the guide moved at a good pace keeping everyone on time. We shared the bus with another tour group that was in a different language which did not impact our English tour at all. I would have really preferred that we keep the audio sets on as we toured each sight instead our guide would talk when we had assembled at a specific spot. The problem with that is as we are walking to a spot people beside him are asking questions about our surroundings, history, etc etc whic only the immediate people around him can hear. Our guide quite deliberately told us to leave our audio guides in the bus. I was disappointed with this and did tell him as much. Unfortunately you Miss a lot of details this way.

We visited the hungarian parlement with headout. The only function of headout is to provide you the tickets because at the parlement itself they are mostly sold out months in advance. The guides from headout (and also all guides from other organisations) are not allowed to come in the parlement. Every half our the parlement itself guides a group of exactly 50 people through the building. This works very well. So the only use of headout is to sell you tickets for three times the normal price, no more, no less.

Unacceptable, a terrible experience—no understanding at all for a 2-minute delay! 2 minutes—are you serious? There were 2 adults and 6 children in our group, and we arrived just 2 minutes late! The guide had already left; there was no understanding, no way to reschedule the tour for another day, no gesture of goodwill—just: “You didn’t follow the rules, so I left.” I will never book with this company again!

From the magnificent hallways to the marble columns, the Hungarian Parliament in Budapest is truly one of the most beautiful buildings I know, even on the inside. The entrance hall is particularly impressive, with its enormous ceiling murals and magnificent design! Definitely worth a visit!

The visit to the Parliament in Budapest went very well. The two staff members arrived right on time to pick up the documents and then distribute the tickets. They were courteous, knowledgeable, and helpful. I highly recommend this experience. And the Parliament is definitely a must-see!

A lovely experience on the Danube! The cruise departed right on time at 9:30 pm, and we were able to see all the main landmarks beautifully illuminated at night. The atmosphere on board was very pleasant and relaxing. Definitely a great way to enjoy Budapest from a different perspective!

The cruise was beautiful and charming. The boat was spacious and comfortable, with an onboard bar and a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. Unfortunately, due to a power outage, the Parliament building wasn’t lit up as usual, but it was still a wonderful experience.

A special place I would love to return to anytime with my family. A spectacular building, magnificent architecture, and very well maintained. The people are very friendly and welcoming. A place that left a pleasant impression on us.

You'll explore the world’s third-largest parliament building, a symbol of Hungary’s national identity and the tallest structure in Budapest. Completed in 1904, this architectural masterpiece blends neo-Gothic design with Renaissance influences, including a Cupola inspired by Vienna’s Maria vom Siege church.

Features

Main Staircase: Admire the sweeping staircase, lined with ornate columns and illuminated by grand chandeliers, setting the tone for the building’s opulence.

Dome Hall: Step into the heart of the Parliament, where the Hungarian Holy Crown is displayed beneath a soaring dome adorned with 40 kilograms of 23-carat gold.

Chamber of Peers & Grand Stairway: Walk through historic chambers that once hosted legislative debates, featuring intricate woodwork and stained glass.

Multilingual Audio Guide: Access detailed commentary in 23 languages, offering insights into Hungary’s history, architecture, and political life.

Note: On the live guided tour option with transfers, you’ll first take a ~3-hour coach sightseeing tour with stops at Heroes’ Square and the Buda Castle/Castle District area before ending with the 45-minute Parliament visit. The full program lasts around 4.5 hours.
