CoupleVerified bookingLast week5/5An unforgettable experience at the Palace of the Parliament! We took the tour with Transilvania Wonders and it was exactly what we were looking for: well-organized, interesting, and full of stories. The guide was extremely knowledgeable, explained everything clearly and with a sense of humor, and shared historical details in a captivating, far-from-boring way. Communication was spotless, from the lead-up right through the pace of the tour, and we never felt rushed for a single moment. I warmly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bucharest, whether you're passionate about history or architecture, or simply curious to see one of the largest buildings in the world. Many thanks to the Transilvania Wonders team for a fantastic day!KKrista K
SoloVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5Nice tour around the parliament, great instructions on how to get to the meeting point and when, keep in mind, that if tour starts at 11:00, you have to be at the point at 10:30. But great service, nice tour guide, a lot of information and valuable for the price you pay as you are entering a building that not thay many people have access to!KKatie G
CoupleVerified booking2 weeks ago4/5Good to inside the enigma of the heaviest building in the world! Guide was informative. Tour length inside the Palace of the Parliaments just right. Only thing that wasconfusing was timings. Tour booked for 3pm yet we had to meet at the office at 2.30 and only started the tour at 3.45. There was a lot of waiting around!AAntonio M
GroupVerified booking2 weeks ago4/5I like very much the Palace and the organization of the tour. I did not like the guide inside the Parliement because he gave information but he did not wait that everybody join near him to talk. So, many times I did not have time to reach near him to hear him. And I lost a lot of information. And the price is too high.
