This was 10/10. The staff are super friendly, the boat is stunning, the food was amazing. You get around 4/5 options to choose from on each course so there is something for everyone. The live music was angelic, stunning voices, soothing and beautiful song choices. I would highly recommend this and thinks it’s value for money. I would do it again and recommend it.

The best activity I have done in Budapest!! The incredible price includes a glass of champagne and three musicians play Valls during dinner, there are two dancers who take photos with you after the show and the musicians go table by table playing the songs that each table wants to hear, they are charming. A true luxury that must be done yes or yes!!! Plus the boat is beautiful, it's worth it. Of course, the food is not worth it but the activity must be experienced!!! We loved it

Everything was excellent, except for the food. The issue of nutrition can be improved. It should not be much, let it be simple, but let it be tasty. More vegetables

A lovely evening cruising along the river with my family. I booked a welcome drink which was half a glass of Prosecco but aside from that, we all enjoyed it very much! The staff were all very friendly and the violinist was excellent. I was expecting folk dancing which would have added to our experience but we all enjoyed the couple of hours experiencing the boat.

It was such a perfect night and worth the money! I organised this on the night of my partners birthday, i let legenda know in hopes i could possible request a window table, little did i know they went beyond this and sung him happy birthday with a candle to blow out in his dessert too! Such a lovely suprise and really completed a beautiful evening! Extra drinks are so affordable and all the staff are lovely, the singers were amazing, thank you for an amazing trip!

I liked the tour, everything happened as it was stated. Music, buffet with national dishes. Of course, such excursions in Moscow require waiter service, and this is more convenient. But the buffet was announced initially and the dishes were agreed, so you should not expect miracles. We were seated by the window, although we did not pay extra for it. Service is good, everyone is friendly. I liked the musicians. As entertainment on a trip, I recommend.

2 hours seemed a bit long for the trip. The live music was nice and cheerful. There should be some hot beverage serving in the cold months preferably some tea or coffee.

Loved the activity. Got a welcome prosecco on arrival and a cocktail. The boat cruise was amazing and saw amazing views of the city. I loved the decor and music. Only negative comments is we were sat in the centre and could hear both sides of the boat playing different music which was a bit overstimulating
