1,5-hour Sightseeing Cruise with Live Music

A sightseeing cruise with live music and city views. Seating and comfort depend on how busy the boat is. Best for those who want atmosphere over commentary.

Details

This cruise focuses on relaxed sightseeing with live music rather than guided commentary or structured storytelling. The historic boat and onboard band create a pleasant atmosphere, but seating is not guaranteed, and late arrivals may need to stand or accept less comfortable spots. Inside areas can feel busy and noisy, especially when the boat is full, while outdoor decks are quieter but weather-dependent. There is no narrated guide, which some guests appreciate for uninterrupted views, while others miss context about the sights. Evening sailings offer the strongest visuals, though very late departures may miss fully lit landmarks.

Important Info

Know before you go:
• The cruise starting at 7:00 PM is 2 hours
• The cruise starting at 10:00 PM is 1.5 hours
Our 7pm cruise will start at 7:15 pm and docks at 8.45 pm.

Expectation warning:
This may disappoint travelers expecting guaranteed seating, a guided tour, or a quiet environment. It suits visitors who enjoy live music, don’t mind crowds, and are flexible about where they sit.

Bács S.
We (my wife and 2 children) found this to be a nice boat trip for the money. Relatively limited seating room on the open deck part of the boat. The commentary was recorded and disjointed at times. Quite a few of the passengers were on the lunch option (lower deck) or ordered drinks and snacks on our (upper) deck. If you don't want a lengthy cruise and you're content to just look out of the window and enjoy the view then it's great. Very relaxed experience.

That a perfect fair for this money! We had live music with dances of profesional dancers. Ship is big and you can outside to enjoy the view. Other than this you have your table when you can enjoy the bar drinks and food. Really, for this price is PERFECT!

Easy to find meeting point through the app. Outside the building there is a sign indicating the meeting point. I went in and they gave me tickets for the tour. At 3.30 pm our guide arrives and accompanies us to the pier for departure. A beautiful 1 and a half hour tour that reaches the last bridge. Suggestive is to see that from the light of day, the buildings and bridges around 4.30 pm begin to light up giving a breathtaking sight. The speaker explains only in English. There is bar service available. I highly recommend booking this visit which has excellent value for money. With other tours I would have spent 20 euros per person.

A bit awkward at first, as you first have to exchange the voucher for tickets in the office in the city, then you go to the boat with a guide and then crowd around the next boat with a hundred other guests. The table is then assigned to you. The explanations in English via loudspeakers are also difficult to understand, since it is quite noisy inside due to the bar operation etc. Nevertheless it is a very good offer for the price, you can see a lot of the city, the journey takes 90 minutes, the drink prices on board are ok and there is space at the round tables, the toilets were also ok. You could also go to the outside deck at any time to take photos.

I use your service for the first time. I liked the price, the same tickets are sold twice as expensive at the pier. We were afraid not to find the place of departure and explain that we have an electronic ticket, because everything is very bad with English, and I had no connection , I took a screenshot of the destination, it contains the berth number and the carrier's company, the most important thing of course is to screen the CODE, everything went well, they approached the pier there are large signs with the berth number or a letter, we had BERTH number 3, next to the monument to shoes , the route is also in the application, if you look closely. we arrived early 40 minutes before departure, we started launching 15 minutes before departure, it’s better to come up like this if you want to take places on an open holly, the waiter at the entrance reads your code from the phone and everything;) we bought without champagne) for beautiful photos, buy a ticket with it;) or you can buy at
