The tour of the Bucharest Parliament left an incredible impression! It was truly fantastic: very beautiful, interesting, and informative. The scale of the building, the luxurious halls, and the history of this place are impressive. The guide was engaging, so time simply flew by. We definitely recommend visiting!

It was really informative and the guide had a great sense of humour. There was a slight issue with finding the right entrance to the palace of parliament so if I can give any advice it would be to set off early to avoid a 5 k sprint around the building to find the correct entrance !

We had a problem with the plane (and didn't realise that it was an hour later than in Spain) and coul not arrive on time for the tour at 13:00 and it was changed at 15:00 with no problem. The guide was clear and explained very well the history of the palace

I liked the explanations that were understandable and not to long. I think it would be unteresting to see more of the building in future tours, and if possible to add an audio guide with translation to other languages.

The guide of this palace of parliament tour was fantastic: he was very knowledgeable, kind and gave many personal anecdote (for example his parents refuse to take his tour, as they have suffered so much in the time period of building structure). The building itself is extremely significant for the relative recent history of Romania and a must visit. What can be improved is the clarification of where the entrance is. We arrived one hour early, but to the wrong entrance; as it was not clear where exactly it was. Then we walk outside the entire building for 50 minutes (in the massive heat) and barely made it to the correct entrance and tour. Include better description, mire specific links (for both weekdays and workdays) and more pictures. Thank you.

I had a great time diring the visit. Very good guide and lots of interesting information. One possible improvement: put on the ticket that the entrance is at the B3 door. I had to walk with other visitors l most one kilometer from the legislative chamber entrance to the visit sight. Thanks!
