• Not worth it.

  We booked the Parliament tour expecting something worthwhile, but the overall experience was poor from start to finish. First, you’re told to arrive 30 minutes early to collect tickets, which in reality just means standing around with no clear purpose. There’s no organisation or added value in that time. On the morning of the tour, we were contacted and told they had overbooked and asked if we could move to another day. We were only in Bucharest for two days, so that simply wasn’t an option. Not a great start. The ticket office experience made things worse. The staff member (long hair) was incredibly rude. We asked if we could put an empty water bottle in the bin and were told no because “there are already enough bottles in there.” He then came outside, grunted at the group, and told everyone to hurry up. Completely unprofessional. The tour itself is short and, frankly, not worth the money. The guide was polite enough but clearly disengaged and uninterested. It later came out he had already done several tours that day, which showed in the delivery. Overall, this felt like a box-ticking tourist exercise rather than a quality experience. Not worth it. Management seriously needs to address customer service in the ticket office and put staff in place who actually want to be there.

• Be flexible and enjoy

  The tour was truly worth seeing. Unfortunately, our parliament tour started late causing us to be late to another Viator adventure so plan this tour with plenty of time on the back side. The building was beautiful inside and the guide was informative about the 8 or so large rooms we visited inside. You must have a passport or local Romanian ID to enter this government building. It is best to go early to understand that the Viator guide only gets us entry into the building and then Parliament guide conducts the tour. With the Viator tickets you will not need to go to the ticket counter as you just wait for your Viator guide in the lobby area to round up the entire tour group prior to entering the security check desk as one Viator tour group. Well worth the time to visit it.

• Bad arrangement, delayed schedule!

  The tour supposed to start at 11:00 but we needed to wait for the 11:15 guided tour and after the security checking we had to wait for another 15min for no reason. So finally we entered at 11:30! the whole activity was delayed by 30min! Without an explanation! The arrangement of this guided tour was really bad, not recommended.

  You have to walk a little bit of distance from the office to Parliament. You will be walking outside with no shades.

• Very nice City Break

  We visited the parliament with a very good guided tour in Italian. We didn't book in advance but it was during the week anyway. The visit is worth it to see the majesty of this building.

  This tour is not well organized the meeting point is difficult to find , I can’t even see the names of the street they need to put clear street signs and better have the meeting site in parliament itself .

• Solid Tour

  This tour is a solid option for reserving a spot on the official Palace of Parliament tour without having to call the business day before or purchase a ticket same-day. I enjoyed seeing several stately rooms and grand halls while learning about the iconic building's history. However, I was disappointed to learn that it's only possible to visit the parliamentary chambers during the summer recess.

• Masterpiece of the Romanian people

  This Casa Populi palace is majestic, imposing and immense. It can be visited are by reservation with private tour, With its 1000 rooms today it is the seat of the Senate. The dictator Nicolae Ceauşescu had it built and demanded that only Romanian materials be used. 365,000 m2, also goes underground for 16 meters. To build it, an area equal to one fifth of Bucharest, 4.5 km long and 2 km wide, was demolished. A large anti-nuclear bunker, capable of withstanding an 8° Richter earthquake and 2 consecutive atomic bombs. 1000 m3 of marble, 550,000 t of concrete, 700,000 t of steel, 2800 chandeliers and 220,000 m2 of carpets. Not to be missed

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

• Disappointing- go to the Parliament directly for tickets!

  Disappointing. No point booking through them - you turn up at their office 10 mins away from the Parliament, then walk as a group to Parliament, loiter and then go in with everyone else who turns up directly to the Parliament. Absolutely no point booking and detouring to the office, when you can go straight to the Parliament and get tickets there. The tour itself was decent (note, the guide is from the Parliament not this company). This is basically just a way of pre booking tickets, in future I’d recommend anyone just goes directly and gets them on the day from the Parliament building (there’s a specific queue for not booked). Not even friendly people, literally don’t see any merit. Was a disappointing experience to be honest. Just glad the tour itself was pretty decent.
