I wanted to book a tour of the Parliament building for Friday May 31 in the afternoon, but the official ticket site shows no tickets available (https://jegymester.hu). In fact, it shows no tickets available for the next month. Is there another site we should use to get tickets?

This is the official site for the Parliament building. You might be able to buy a tour on Viator or Get Your guide. It will be more expensive though.

2 or 3 times more. I had a friend look into it last week. I think 3 tickets were about 150 euro.

I have a Parliament tour question also. If we purchase tickets on the official site (jegymester.hu), are we able to decide on a guided tour instead of the audio tour when we arrive? I think I’d prefer the guided tour but can’t really see how to purchase a guided tour, as the tickets seem to be for the audio tours. Anyone know?

I am afraid you get what they sell, which appears to be the audio tours only. The private vendors that do guided tours, I dont know how they make those happen, but you pay through the tail for them.

They are probably sold out. I bought my tickets for September back in April.

Yup, you gotta buy months in advance. The only thing you can do at this point is to buy a private tour through a tour company, but they are very, very expensive. Lots of other stuff to do in town.
