Ben was excellent guide. Fast paced and explained things well. Got you over to Buda side which can be expensive to ride funicular
Returning guest on this trip from United States. Highly recommend. Our tour guide BEN was fantastic, knowledgeable friendly, and spoke perfect English. Highly recommend and you get Ben you are very lucky and in great hands.

The Budapest Parliament is famous for being one of the largest and most spectacular neo-Gothic masterpieces in the world. Located on the banks of the Danube, it is the symbol of Hungarian independence; it is at its best when admired in the evening, all illuminated, it truly leaves you breathless. I wasn't able to visit the interior because everything was already booked on the official website, but don't despair, if you show up on site at 8:00 AM the next day, they always find some free slots. So head out feeling relaxed anyway and enjoy the city without always stressing yourself out beforehand; many things can also be experienced in the moment.
Thank you very much for sharing your experiences and helpful advice! We’re glad that the Parliament and Budapest made such a big impression on you. We hope that next time you’ll have the chance to explore the building’s magnificent interior as well!

Comprehensive with a knowledgeable and very helpful guide (Ben, as he called himself). Not at all tiring, it offers a very accurate historical picture. The visit to Parliament is dictated by the rhythms imposed by the building's organization.

Everything perfect. Stunning structure. If you are in Budapest, you cannot skip it. The visit is a "must".

I had a really great time on the Grand City Tour with Cityrama! Our guide was awesome—really friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about Budapest. Instead of just listing facts, they shared interesting stories that made the history a lot more enjoyable. The views from Fisherman’s Bastion were incredible, and it was so nice to see places like St. Stephen’s Basilica and the Parliament up close. The tour was well organized, the pace was just right, and we got to see so much in a few hours. I’d definitely recommend it if you’re visiting Budapest and want a great introduction to the city!

The tour was really good, which we owe to our tour guide Susanne and her team including the bus driver. We owe that to the bus driver. You get a good overview of the city and its history. For me, the parliament was the absolute highlight.
