The cruise was very enjoyable and seeing the beautiful buildings on the Danube all lit up was breathtaking. Music was quite good and entertaining. Service was very good. The ship itself was pretty nice. Food was pretty mediocre but the glass if Champaign was a nice touch. Overall enjoyable.

We enjoyed the evening... informality, music, atmosphere, the ambience cruising along the river at night. We liked that the waiting staff were allocated to particular tables, and our waiter was courteous and helpful. However, we barely saw him after the meal commenced as he was very busy, so we were unable to order a second drink. We realise that with so many people on board, staff are very busy. The pea soup was superb. The meat dish was quite nice. Apple slice with apricot sauce tasted delicious. It is difficult to prepare food for so many people and meet their many tastes. I believe under the circumstances you did very well. I suggest two things: - Option if someone has allergies; I did not know how to ask about this when booking. - Coffee or tea for end of meal. We felt like a having a cuppa after our meal. A wonderful evening. Thank you.

Fantastic experience, cruise on the Danube in the evening an incredible show. Excellent food and exceptional hospitality. Incredible atmosphere thanks also to the live music. Highly recommended. PS: We took the cruise with the extra window table, it was worth it

great food and view's, didn't get the free wine with the meal though, there's quite a lot going on at the start of the trip, trying to get feed etc and take in the view's. Budapest lit up at night is beautiful. the boat handily retraces its first part of the route towards the end so you don't have to worry about what you missed at the start..

Lovely boat that had an old fashioned feel about it . Food was good & drinks were decent . The folk band played a good selection of songs . Only downside was our waitress for the evening never showed up after the first 10 minutes . Would do it again next time we visit

Dinner was nothing special. View of the city at night was spectacular, but same could be seen from the river walk. 200+$ is way too much.

The cruise was lovely and the food not too bad. I’d read some bad reviews about this cruise, the service, and the food but to be honest, I was quite happy with all of it. Entertainment was great too, very talented musicians., If possible I would probably pay extra next time to be sure to get a table near the windows. Also, in the summer, I would do the later cruise to get better photos of the lights. meeting point information could be a more detailed. I would recommend this cruise.

It was a 3 hours cruise with food. The food that they served were delicious and very Hungarian. We didn't know the dishes name until we went to a restaurant the next day. Surprisingly even though they were serving the buffet style, it tastes better than the restaurant that we went. The live violin music was quite irritating maybe I didn't like classical music.

The boat was a bit hard to find. The food was only ok. I found myself spending most of the time outside looking at the view than eating.
