I loved this whole tour the guide was amazing and told us a lot of details. When we were riding the bus to the activities the guide told us everything about the things we passed. You'll enter the parliament by yourself but the guide will get you your tickets (tha guide got them for us) the parliament was goregeous and the guide was funny and talkative

Balazs was a great tour guide and driver on our trip to Budapest. It might have been a bit rainy and cold but it was still worth the trip. We saw amazing architecture and ate delicious food in the market. The whole trip went smoothly and was very informative.

Impressive inside staircase and hallways. Was not expecting the regal or grandeur of those red carpeted staircases. It doesn’t have the elegant decor like Versailles, but we’ll worth a tour to see the inside of this beautiful building.

Great tour. Very interesting and the Parliament building was stunning. Enjoyed it a lot!

Very knowledgeable and helpful driver, he showed us all the highlights!
