Details
From the river, Budapest, which is frequently cited as one of Europe's most beautiful cities, is even more stunning. The Gellért Bath, Mt. Gellért with its Freedom Monument and the Citadella, the Buda Castle, and the Fisherman's Bastion are among the World Heritage Sites on the Buda side, which extends from the Chain Bridge to the Technical University. You can marvel at iconic structures like the House of Parliament and the St. Stephen's Basilica on the other side of the river.
You'll have a lot of chance to appreciate drinks in the air-molded lodge and afterward head to the outside upper deck to respect the scene of Budapest around evening time.
The well-known "cimbalom," an exquisite original Hungarian instrument, is also featured in the performance. The cimbalom and string instruments create an unforgettable harmony that is uniquely Hungarian and create an outstanding atmosphere on board.

It was one of those memorable evening cruises,excellent in views, people, setting and more. The best, I would say. I could get some of the Instagram worthy pictures too. The food and drinks were great along with music.

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.

We've been pick up on time by our friendly driver. We've been looked after since the beginning. 3x were included in the price. Food was abundant. Music is amazing. But our main priority was the overlooking sights of Budapest at night which we spent most of our time in the terrace. We were dropped off in the end in our apartment and had good time. The only negative would be sitting next to strangers on a round table for dinner if you are a reserved kind of person and wanted to enjoy own's company with friends/family.

We booked this cruise for our first night in Budapest and was not disappointed! It is the perfect way to see all of beautiful buildings/bridges. We selected the cocktail option and we’re very satisfied as they were delicious (strong too so a little tipsy by the end of the night!) There was some entertainment too which involved some traditional dancing, this was lovely to watch. Would definitely recommend this cruise, all the staff were also very helpful and friendly!

Mine was the night cruise with just welcome drink @10PM. The whole programme was well organized and I see few reviews saying that there's not enough space (two dining areas and a top deck) or not more than one drink provided for free. Well, it depends on how much you pay. It's clearly mentioned while booking. Moreover, it's not a "long" walk, around 500-600m only. Overall, it was a superb experience! Keep up the good work :)

The only downfall of this was we were told to meet at the travel companies office in downtown Budapest. Then we had to walk at least 20 minutes through the city, crossing major roadways. We would've rather just met at the boat. PLUS, there were lots of women in high heels, YIKES, a loooong walk they hadn't planned for.
