Palace of Parliament in Bucharest - fast-track tickets and guide

This place is huge! I was astounded by how much we did see and it was only 7%. The ceilings are a tall person's dream. The tour was filled with great information and the guide was excellent! Such a feat in architectural wonder! Make sure you have someone to take your photos while you stand next to everything in the corridors, rooms, and in front of the stairways and doors! Selfie sticks won't do the job. If you have a GoPro, bring it or anything that has a wide or ultrawide lens. You will leave there knowing why it is the heaviest building in the world and you can see it from space.

Guide was outside early, exactly where the email I received said she would be. Once inside, we were transferred to another guide who was excellent. He gave just the right amount of information and was very interesting. He even offered other sightseeing tips in Bucharest. Very professional!

It basically does not worth it. It is like paying for nothing. The guide stays with you in a waiting period close to 45 min, saying literally nothing. So please don’t be a fool like us and don’t pay for nothing. Instead, take the ticket directly from the official ticket office.

Went only for 30 minutes when I paid for 90min, some of the rooms were busy I understand that, but I warning would of been nice

The ticketing and entrance procedures were good. However the tour itself was not. We visited just 3 conference rooms and the tour was over in 25 minutes. No Parliament chamber, nothing on the various underground and higher floors. They had private events on over the weekend so we saw practically nothing. Hugely disappointing.

Manuela was an excellent guide. We spent 3 hours walking around the city, visiting the major (and some quirkier) sites. It’s much more leisurely and infomative than a bus tour but be prepared: we covered 10km. Highly recommended.

Highly recommended, great tour. Fun, informative and Greg was a fantastic guide. He helped with tips for the rest of our stay also

Come spiegato sul biglietto, ci siamo trovati all'esterno dell'edificio con gli altri partecipanti del tour ed il ragazzo che ci avrebbe accompagnato all'interno. Ha controllato che avessimo tutti il biglietto e ci ha condotto all'entrata del Parlamento, occupandosi poi di tutte le procedure di accettazione (è necessario registrare un documento, perciò glielo abbiamo lasciato e ce l'ha restituito dopo qualche minuto). Il ragazzo poi ci ha spiegato come si sarebbe svolta la visita ed ha passato la parola alla vera e propria guida del tour. Questa ragazza ci ha illustrato la storia dell'edificio, accompagnandoci nelle diverse e sfarzose stanze (sono 1100 i totale ma nel tour se ne vedono una minima parte) e ci ha raccontato anche qualcosa sulla città di Bucarest. Sul Parlamento cosa dire, è un edificio imponente e rappresenta una parte significativa della storia di Bucarest, secondo me da visitare. Unica nota negativa per il prezzo un po' alto, considerando che acquistare il biglietto per il tour direttamente all'ingresso del Parlamento costa circa 45 Lei e vi è la possibilità di scegliere la lingua (c'è anche in italiano e francese). Consiglio quindi di informarsi e prenotare con anticipo per evitare di trovare tutto esaurito.
