“The guy from the office was very polite and the instructions was very clear and helpful! Also the tour guide was very polite, waiting for everyone to reach each spot to start telling us everything about the history and other facts about every part of the building. It was a nice experience! Although the places we allowed to visit in the building are not too many but this was not because of this tour, it happens generally.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 450 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $39.53

Fast-track tickets to Bucharest’s Palace of Parliament with an English guide, timed entry, and lots of marble and communist-era context.

“Transylvania Wonders claims to be a tourist agency, but in reality, it seems to be just an intermediary, taking clients from their office to the Palace of the Parliament. The actual tour is conducted by the staff at the palace. Also, the email confirmation did not clearly state that a passport is required (buried in the fine print of the booking details page). They should be more transparent about the services they offer (not much) for the price they charge!”

Guided Bucharest to Transylvania day trip to Peleș, Bran, and Brașov with castle tickets included and an expert English guide.

“The trip was excellent, with one exception, which was well handled. Our bus failed mechanically on return to Bucharest, in Brasov, approximately 2 hrs away from Bucharest. After several cell phone calls with management and the local train station, the guide set up train passage to complete our return. The guide stayed with the group (25 people) and got us to the correct platform and train 15 minutes before departure, tickets were pre-paid, the timing convenient as it turned out. Uber transport to our respective hotels in Bucharest was also pre-paid, verified by a QR code on my cell phone. Nice :~) Unlike other tour ooperators, our guide was a…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 303 reviews · 3 hours · from $29

3-hour English guided walk through Communist Bucharest, from Ceausescu and daily life to 1989 revolution sites, with a snack stop.

“This tour was incredible and I highly recommend it. Cristina and Stefan (hope I got their names right) were very knowledgeable, friendly and shared stories from their own lives as well as plenty of historical info I never could have found out by myself. It was a fascinating insight into Romania's Communist period, and they answered all my questions. I literally couldn't think of a single piece of constructive feedback to give them - Cristina had thought of everything! The tour has inspired me to take more guided tours with local guides.”

Visit the Romanian Senate inside Bucharest’s Palace of Parliament. Skip the line, tour the Plenary Hall, and see communist interiors.

“Tartassari per arrivare un quarto alle 11 perché bisogna prendere i biglietti e passare i controlli. Riusciamo ad arrivare nonostante fosse stato fornito un punto di ritrovo sbagliato. Non troviamo nessuno, chiamamo, e uno che non parla italiano riesce a stento a dire in inglese che siccome il tour inizia alle 11:30, verrà a prenderci un paio di minuti prima. Risultato: 45 minuti di attesa al gelo e pioggia. Per fortuna la guida era un ragazzo liceale volontario affiliato al Parlamento e non a GYG, confidiamo nelle nuove generazioni.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 101 reviews · 1 hour · from $43

A 1-hour Spanish or Italian guided tour of Bucharest’s Palace of Parliament, from the Honor Hallway torsos to the huge ballroom.

“The tour was fun and enjoyable. It was easy to find the meeting spot, registration was easy. The tour guide was really nice and funny, but her Spanish could have been better. Nevertheless, it was easy to follow. It was a nice tour, but short. I was expecting we would see some more of the place, given the fact that it's so big. But overall I guess she took us to the most important areas. Overall I think it was a good tour. I took similar tours abroad and they were longer and more detailed, but this ranks well as well. I recommend it. And the lady guide was nice,…”
