“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.

4.Palace of Parliament in Bucharest – fast-track tickets and guide

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 450 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $39

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…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 26 reviews · from $40

Tour Bucharest’s Parliament in Italian, with Ceaușescu-era history, old-town sights, and a one-hour interior visit.

“La guida, Daniela, era brava, preparata e si esprimeva, bene, in italiano Il tour all’Interno del Palazzo del Parlamento è stato troppo breve. Non è stata mostrata neanche la camera dei Deputati, ma il solo Senato. Viste le dimensioni dell’edificio, la visita doveva essere più ampia, tenuto conto anche del costo pagato ( € 35,00 per persona, oltre a € 12,00 per il biglietto di ingresso nel palazzo)”

“Excellent tour guide, Tudor with Rolandia Travel. We started with a tour of a local neighborhood. Then the National Parliament tour. After that the Village Museum which was okay. Then we had a quick lunch and skipped the tour of the old town for paying extra for a tour of Nikolai Ceaucescu's family home. Very interesting after seeing the National Parliament. Old town is easy to see on your own.”

“This is a great way to see the city highlights and learn some of the history in one day with a local guide. Sebastian was our fantastic guide, he reached out the day before to confirm and provide pick up details. He was on time and shared a wealth of information. Even though there were only a few reviews on the website, we chose this tour and it was great!! If you go to parliament you need your passports and have to be able to go up a lot of stairs. We covered a lot of ground on foot as traffic in Bucharest gets pretty bad by 330-4 pm.”
