Good guided tour, but organization to be clarified better before arrival

4.00The service mainly allows you to avoid the queue for the purchase of entrance tickets and be accompanied to the starting point of the tour, which is then carried out by an official guide of the palace. However, it is important to pay attention to an organizational aspect: only a few hours before the experience you are notified via WhatsApp that you must arrive at the agency at least half an hour before the time indicated on the ticket, otherwise you will lose the right to participate in the tour. This information should be clearly indicated already on the voucher. After check-in, you reach the entrance of the palace on foot. The guided tour is large and well structured, lasts about an hour and is rich in information. However, it should be borne in mind that a total of about two hours should be allowed, of which one hour is taken up by check-in, walking and security checks.
Not worth it

1.00This is just a way to book advance tickets, which unfortunately are not available to book from the Palace of the Parliament itself. What happens is that you go to this operator’s office about 10 mins walk from the Palace. You check in there. Then they walk to you the Palace, they take you in, they buy your tickets and then you go with the guide and the tour offered by the Palace. However, it seems there are plenty of tickets available so I would not worry about not finding tickets the day of. We visited on 12/29, during winter break and the first they they opened after Christmas holidays, and they had plenty of tickets. And they run guided tours every 15 mins. So best to just go there and get the tickets yourself.
Visit to Parliament without...

1.00Visiting Parliament without seeing the room in which Members sit is frustrating. The guide has a microphone but with the echo it is hardly understandable. A guide leaves the meeting point that accompanies us and communicates the bare minimum if we can say communicate. In short, fortunately the building is beautiful at last, it is regrettable in the digital age denz not have audio guide in French
Not serious and very disappointing experience

1.00Very bad experience, the booked attraction did not take place, the parliament was closed on December 27 and the Viator relaunch service misled me by sending emails including today

5.00Well organised trip. If you try and book tours directly with the people's palace it's really difficult - particularly if you dont speak romanian. So this is a well organised great option. Just prep for walking to the palace approx 0.5km

3.00It’s basically just a way of making sure that you get a ticket with no need to queue. For that it’s fine. Quite a lot of waiting about though.
Great experience - very informative

2.00Avoid this tour company. We were unaware that we had to check WhatsApp in lieu of our email for details. We had a lot of trouble finding the place and they didn’t respond when we tried to contact them. The operator was very rude when we arrived and my husband didn’t get to go because we didn’t know he had to have his passport to get in and we were refused a refund . Thinking of using Get your Guide next tour instead of Viator.
Nice.
