“Visiting the Palace of the Parliament in Bucharest is an unforgettable experience, and the guided tour makes it even more worthwhile. The sheer scale and opulence of the building are breathtaking, and our guide was exceptional—knowledgeable, engaging, and full of fascinating historical and architectural insights. The tour was well-organized, covering grand halls, intricate chandeliers, and impressive marble staircases while offering a glimpse into Romania’s complex past. For the price, it’s incredible value for money, given the depth of information and access to such an iconic landmark. Highly recommended for history lovers and curious travelers alike—don’t miss it!”

Tour Bucharest’s vast Palace of Parliament with skip-the-line access, security guidance, and an official indoor tour in English.
“The company you buy the tickets from don’t do very much. The guide basically doesn’t do any guiding, and there wasn’t any line in the first place. They do provide a service in the sense that through them you can reserve tickets in advance, while you can only do it the day before by phone directly from the Parliament website. This is actually very useful. The tour itself was nice, but that basically has nothing to do with this company. Watch out though — the time that you book for is when the tour starts in the Parliament . The meeting time is 30 minutes before, which I only learned…”
Review of a 14-hour Bucharest tour to Peles Castle, Bran Castle, and Brasov, with transport, guides, and admission tickets included.
“The whole excursion was relaxed and thoroughly enjoyable. Both castles were great although Gabriel (our amazingly knowledgeable guide) was obviously less enamoured with the bullsh#t created around the Dracula tourism industry 🤣 With only 6 of us on the trip there was no rushing around or waiting for people. Brassov was nice to look around in the snow and we were really happy with both the venue and meals helpfully suggested by Gabriel 👍👍”

“Very good! I learned a lot about the communist time and Bucharest in general. Cristina was a lovely guide, answering all of the questions,To illustrate her stories, she had a binder full of images. It was obvious she was passionate about the subjects she was talking about, the reality of communist as well as the reality of post-communist life in Bucharestr. With her friendly personality on top it made the tour go by fast. Do highly recommend.”
