I didn't have a guide for this tour. however, if you are just interested in the sightseeing of the wonderful iconic buildings, this is a definite yes. Please opt for late night cruises after 8.30 pm to enjoy the night life. we were welcomed with a sparkling wine drink to those who drink or mango juice to those who don't drink.

Nice mini cruise, does everything it promises, welcome drink and great view !! I do not give all the stars because the boarding was a bit chaotic, we had arrived first an hour before and we found ourselves in the middle of the crowd that entered without arrival criteria. In short, people who passed by all over the place without a real queue to enforce

Make sure to be there on time, otherwise you’ll end up staying on the first floor, which was fine but the led blue light was too bright. Beside that, it was a really nice experience and I would love to do that again someday.

It was a very nice evening cruise. Unfortunately the location of the pier is a bit far compared to others, but we still enjoyed it a lot. Friendly service, warm inside the boat and good vibes.

It was really nice, just I didn't like that how much crowded it was and people were sitting in chair just literally continuously in the open air side. But the workers was really nice and the amazing view. Also the best time to go in sunset is 18.15 guys

Beautiful experience, nice warm structure with a beautiful view, the sparkling wine is also excellent and there is the possibility of having an aperitif as you like while enjoying the view .. if you are in Budapest you must do it

Though the staff and the whole boat experience was awesome, the people were acting kinda like animals. They couldn't respect the line, were pushing each other desperately to get 'the best spot' (I had even received a wonderful free elbow in my rib). They couldn't be controlled, so I understand that the crew was kinda overwhelmed by their behaviour. Funny or not, we (3 persons) got a really good table on the deck, being among the last ones who scanned their ticket. So why acting feral? ((Just a rhetoric question)
