It was my first time cruise and I was immerssed with the music and the dance. It will be better if we able to book the 7pm Cruise. Sadly it was full booked.

Very large boat and it left a bit late because it took a long time to embark all the passengers. There was no commentary telling us about the places we were passing though. The staff were very nice. The musicians didn’t play out on the deck but we went inside towards the end to listen and this was fun.

It was a great experience and a wonderful way to see the sights of Budapest lit up at night. We went for a drinks package, and it felt a little oversold and quite cramped in the room we were in. I’d pay more and book the meal next time, as the upper deck looked much nicer laid out. It was confusing whether the drinks package was table service or not as the waiter was missing most of the trip. Although when asked he did advise he would get drinks for the table. The live music was excellent, really entertaining. All in all, it was reasonably priced and a last minute excursion on our holiday which we really enjoyed, the sights from the river are beautiful in the evening and there was lots of room on the viewing deck. Would recommend!

The offer with the drinks at the entrance is very value for money (there is an extra free drink included) . If you want an extra drink , the prices on board are great. The lights inside the boat were too strong though, and the duration of the cruise was too long (maybe half an hour shorter would be good). Overall it was a great experience and very value for money.

the view of the buildings of Budapest is fabulous. I found it a shame that the glass served was hot and that they didn't wait until the boat had started. The hot prospect cuts some of the magic of the moment.

Fabulous evening cruise on the Danube.Chance to see the sunset and then see all the main buildings and bridgrs lit up,it's beautiful. Great musicians play at each table and there are dancers on the deck where meals are eaten. Good choice of drinks,we had 3 free beers with our ticket. It was also a 2hr cruise which is longer than most. Highly recommended .

I booked the trip on the Danube for my daughter’s ‘hen’ treat with her sisters, friends and myself. The crew were so courteous and welcoming. The complementary drinks were very thoughtful and much appreciated. The actual cruise on the river was calming and absolutely magnificent, especially in the evening with all the buildings and surrounding area lit up beautifully. My daughter, as well as all of us ladies, have a amazing and fantastic memory to remember and hang on to, forever. Thank you so much! Xxx❤️

Reallyyy good value for money and was so easy to book and find on this website. The boat was really posh and had so many levels to it. It was raining hard on the night we went in Budapest but we still wanted to go and sit on the outside. We then discovered that there’s is an undercover hut outside but for better pictures you can go to the back or front where there isn’t a cover but is still seats on the deck. We then discover the very top of the boat which wasn’t covered but you could get lovely photos on. Whilst sitting outside we were pleasantly surprised that there was an audio aswell to tell you about the monuments we were going last (which you can’t hear inside). When we’d finished taking pics we then went inside to listen to the band and have a drink which was really reasonably priced. I have a cocktail for like £3.40. It was a 2 hours well spent.

The boat was lovely and we were greeted with a welcome drink and a second drink for our meal. However the food staff (2 lads) were very unfriendly and rude. A large serving spoon fell on the floor and I picked it up to give to one of the lads who before I finished trying to explain it had fallen on the floor declared " No speak English " whilst not even looking at me ! Upon finally looking at me he realised what I was trying to show and took the spoon. The same lad up In collecting our finished meal plates simply said " finished? " And nodded his head at our plates! The food was tasty but cold which was a real shame. However the views were great which, whilst no guide is provided, a simple map showing the highlights would have helped. Especially for passengers who had arrived that day . We knew most of the sights as we had been in the city a few days. Overall , good little trip but needs small improvements.

The tour is great! We took the evening tour and enjoyed the buildings at night. There is an audio guide included in the price in many languages (Greek, too) which gives you very interesting information about the city, not the one you can find in any guide, but the details you have to search for. I would recommend you do the cruise at the beginning of your visit in Budapest so that you get to know the city. The staff is very friendly and the drinks offered make the one-hour cruise more enjoyable.
