Very pleasant cruise. It did what was advertised. Audio guide was easy to follow. Don’t know though if in this trip the boat was faster than usual because we have passed the sights being described when the audio guide would talk about it. We were looking back. The boat was very clean. The servers were very friendly.

Excellent boat quality. I recommend taking the tour just before sunset so that you see the monuments with daylight and also with the night lights on.

It was a very full trip on the Danube river and loop around Margaret Island, so just long enough to take everything in without getting too boring. The boat was fully covered so it’s very dependent on how clean they keep the glass for you to get good photos, but the advantage is you won’t have to worry about being cold in the winter. As soon as we departed, the audio guide played automatically and a crew member came around to get everyone’s drink order. I booked the 3:30PM time slot in November and it was PERFECT because it was golden hour and on the way back, the Parliament was fully lit up!

Better sync between the audio and the cruise route. Maybe a TV screen that shows an image of the site mentioned in the audio. Good!
