Thousands of years of history in half a day with a knowledgable guide is enlightening! The Hungarian Parliament is magnificent inside and outside, a symbol of human ingenuity.

The tour of Parliament was excellent -- it is hard to get tickets so when I saw that this tour had tickets included, it was why I signed up. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and provided a lot of information - it was almost too much history so after a bit of time it was hard to embrace -- he was passionate about the tour - would have liked to have stopped at Heros Square but we drove around twice -- due to traffic and time constraints. I would do this tour again but would recommend an easier history lesson -

This was a fabulous tour. Our guide was Eloni and she was very knowledgeable on the history of Hungary. It was the correct mix of Buda and Pest giving us a flavour for the city. Loved the stops at Hero’s Square, Holy Trinity Square and the final tour of the Parliament was amazing. This tour was approx 4.5 hours and as such was great value.
Interesting information...

Very interesting visit thanks to a competent and pleasant guide. Bus ride through the city centre with explanations only in English (as requested). Stop in the place of heroes and the stronghold of fishermen. Finally, a 45-minute tour of Parliament with an audio guide.

Mostly riding on a bus having the guide point out things that can be hard to see out the windows. Tour did stop at Hero's square and Fisherman's Bastion. But then you get dropped off to go to the Parliment, which did have a ticket included but the guide left you there. Not worth the $100 per person charged. You'd be better off taking a hop on hop off bus and buying your own ticket to the Parliment. I would not recommend this tour.
