You get what you pay for. A nice round on the Danube with some food and live music. It was all okay but not that you think wow. The dock where the boat was docked was fairly hard to find. When we arrived, we immediately received a welcome drink and a nice table. There was already a buffet ready and a number of people already tried to serve, but it was only intended to start eating after sailing. I understand the mistake because there was quite a lack of information. We already doubted whether we were at the right boat once we arrived only our name was checked and not the ticket then everything was apparently fine because then we got a glass of champagne and we were escorted to the table we only received an instruction about the drinks . And then suddenly we sailed and the lids of the ''buffet'' were opened. The choice was not huge. There was a choice of 1 soup, 2 Hungarian dishes, bread and a Hungarian cake for dessert.

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.

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

It was a magical evening for us. The ship was very spacious and sparkling clean. The reception at the entrance was professional, friendly and rounded off with a glass of ""welcome champagne"". The food at the self-service buffet was really excellent (the finest goulash soup, tender meat with spaetzle and apple and quark strudel for dessert. Nothing to complain about fork. The trip on the Danube took almost 2 hours and gave insights into the most beautiful illuminated buildings. We were accompanied musically by a really excellent Hungarian music trio with noticeable conservatory training. We really liked it. We'd love to do it again.

Very nice moment, romantic decor, well-cooked and hearty meal, music that takes local or more jazzy standards, and above all, the spectacle of the banks of the Danube illuminated by the emblematic monuments of the city, Bridges, Parliament, Mathias Church, Castle. ..Not to be missed, good value for money.
