See Budapest’s Castle District, Heroes’ Square, and Parliament in 4.5 hours, with transport, a local guide, and Crown Jewels access.
“The tour was the only way to get inside the Parliament. However, I did not see the value in spending €€ to get inside the Parliament at all. They turned off lots of lighting so we can’t see much. Also, they did not allow us to take picture of the Crown in the Dome. I would not waste any €€ to buy tickets to see the Parliament! Our guide (Ben) and the driver (Tony) and the rest of the tour was fantastic. Ben had lots of knowledge. Tony was very patience driving in a very hectic road. Smooth drive.”
