Everything was perfect! We were met at the meeting point, and after a quick check of our documents, the one-hour guided tour began—it was interesting and never boring. The tour guide was knowledgeable and competent.

Visiting the Parliament Building is an experience that leaves you speechless. Its size is difficult to describe in words: endless rooms, marble everywhere, and heavy crystal chandeliers. It is all majestic, but walking through the corridors, you can also feel the weight of history and the sacrifices made to build it. I highly recommend the guided tour, but remember to book in advance and bring your passport, otherwise you won't be allowed in. A must-see in Bucharest!

The audio guide is an interesting recording but you can only visit the palace with a guided tour (which is not included)

I bought two audio guides, but when we tried to connect, the link for the second person wasn't working. The live chat support was helpful until they realized it wasn't working at all... and then nothing! So we paid for two, but only one worked. Otherwise, the explanations are good.

Get the best of both worlds: join a live English-speaking guided tour for an in-depth walk-through, and explore at your own pace afterward or recap what you learned.
