Bucharest Parliament - On time, good guides. This is a worthwhile visit both for the history and all of the rooms in this gigantic building.

Justice Served - Loved the tour and our guide was very well informed. I liked how she tried to place each of the rooms we visited into some sort of historical and philosophical context. i would have liked the tour to be longer than the approx 1 hour as many of the rooms we visited were vary similar - long carpeted galleries. Nevertheless an excellent place to visit and to learn something of Romanias recent history

Must-see! - The building has gigantic dimensions it is very impressive, the structure made of wood and Marble is absolutely incredible. It is the second largest building in the world after the Pentagon!
The visit takes place in a perfectly appropriate time, the guide speaking in perfect English made the history of this building alive , and playful with a lot of humor .!
The geographical and practical indications to reach the meeting point were precise and the welcome at the meeting point warm.! Perfect organization.

!! - The ticket for 2 students costs €6 per person.
Which includes a one-hour guided tour (congratulations to Andrei, the guide a wonderful and prepared guy)
4 stars because the tour is not 100% satisfactory, you will visit only a few restricted areas. But among the activities in Bucharest this is definitely one of those to do.

2 hour minimum investment - Pay attention to the email or text from the tour company... there is important info about id requirements! Also, no liquids or extra batteries allowed.
Our tour of the building was less than 45 minutes because they were hosting a big conference and some rooms were unavailable for the tour. It was interesting but I expected to see more.

Scam - The tickets on Tripadvisor, as well as other similar apps, charge double the price at the door. What you buy is a so-called middleman, who walks you 300 metres to the parliament building from her office and then buys the tickets in your place. The ticket itself is 60 lei, which is about 12 euros. Be sensible and walk yourself to the parliament building, save you 13 euros per ticket.

Not too much to see, not worth the time & money - Despite what others reviews claim, this is absolutely NOT A MANDATORY attraction in Bucharest.
First of all - unnecessary security checks (similar to an airport), great disorder and delays.
After that - our (English) guide was assigned to a huge group (more than 100 persons)! Additionally, he didn't have any amplification device, so he could hardly be heard!
And lastly, the tour itself is quite monotonous and boring.
So to sum up - if you have free 1.5-2 hours and ~30$ to spend, go for it, otherwise - definitely can be skipped.

Not a great experience - Directions for meeting were illogical. It makes makes no sense to meet a km away just to walk back to the building you're going to tour. Furthermore, the tour was at 3, which means 3, not 2:30. Schedule the tour for 2:30 if you want us there at 2:30. Furthermore, given the number of tourists signing up for this tour, the very first line in the tour's introduction should say "make sure you have your passport", or, betrer yet, when signing up for this tour company should require the individual signing up click a checkbox understanding you have to have a passport or Românian ID in order to proceed. The was a very negative experience. Next time we will just get them directly from the official government website for ½ the cost, even so, the only way to book is over the phone and they hardly pick up. Going straight to the door, they are usually sold out (probably they sell all tickets to Viator...)
