We visited the halls of the Senate, a fascinating building. Our guide whose name I unfortunately cannot remember was very clear in telling us the history of the palace and its rooms. It is definitely a stop to make.View original review in ItalianKenneth

Granted you could not change it being 1/2 hr from 1 hr but there first should have been a price adjustment accordingly. The guide was too focused on "Romanian Philosophy" rather than describing the rooms and the appointments of them. One had to ask about things like the rugs and lights only to be rebuffed- 'Will get to that later" to then listen to 10 mkinutes of social philosphy which was meaningless.Daniela
