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.

Do you want to hear your favorite popular song in a new way? Guests will have the opportunity to request their favorite songs during the performance.

I was really disappointed by this evening which is a shame because all of the reviews were really good. I don’t enjoy massive boat trips so wasn’t aware that what seemed like at least a few hundred people would be onboard. You meet at the Danube and then are briskly walked to the boat ( this was a complete shambles, no on the tour group had a clue where they were going or what the location of the boat was) would have been much easier to just meet at the boat. The cruise itself was fun for the first hour but after it felt really dragged out and there was just way too many people but that’s because I prefer much smaller experiences with less people.

The walk from the meeting point was around 10 minutes, we walked on the riverbank, which was beautiful in the evening. During the dinner we tried all the hungarian specialities like gulas, it was really fine, and I can recommend to join this cruise. At the end the staff was really helpfull when we wasked them to order a cab.

What an amazing evening. The staff were friendly and courteous; it was all very well organised. The cruise lasted two hours, starting near the famed Shoes on the Danube, taking us past Parliament then back by the Citadel for a round trip. Our tour was at 7pm and Budapest at night was even more beautiful than it is during the day. The cruise was relaxing and fun, with brilliant value for money. Plus, there were plenty of opportunities to take fantastic photos. Everything was accompanied by live music, which ranged from traditional Hungarian to TV pop culture (A Game of Thrones was a favourite)! The atmosphere was so cosy and relaxed. I would heartily recommend this boat tour to any tourist visiting the city.

Fantastic evening spent on the river cruise. Greeted with champagne and amazing Hungarian trio band who interacted with the crowd. Loved every minute of it and would 100% recommend, especially to do the river cruise at night, stunning views of Budapest

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 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 spent 5 days in Bdapest, and the night time cruise on the Danube was one of the best experience, the city was beautiful, the music was fantastic, and the meals were tasty. During the whole night was kind and active although it was after 11p.m. at the end. Thank you for the fantastic night!

It was a cold night so we spent the time inside. We received the drink and there was nice music on board. We could not take pictures from the inside as there was a lot of reflection from the light. But you could go outside. We didn’t order food but this was available.
