Tout is St. Stephen's Basilica with a live tour guide in the morning. Viviene was great. Learned a lot about the Basilica and Hungarian history. Then in the afternoon a tour of the Parliament building. Tickets allowed us to walk right in at our appointed time. 5% off for booking both together. A great bargain.

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

Fanni was clearly very knowledgeable about the Basillica and pointed out so much symbolism that would have been lost on us. My partner struggled with the fact that dhe spoke very quietly but we ultimately found the guide very helpful and interesting

Very enjoyable tour. Fanni, our guide, was very knowledgeable and clearly had a passion for both the history and art of the Basilica. She taught us about all the symbolic meanings within both the architecture and art in great detail which I really appreciateed. Was truly a worthwhile experience that I would recommend to everyone.
