Just amazing. The boat and setting was fantastic and a great way to see budapest by night. The parliament building is stunning at night. But the best part was the best food we had eaten for quite a while. Fine dining quality. Sit nearer the bar as we were as I can imagine the live music might be a little loud nearer to them.

My husband and I had a wonderful time onboard the river cruise. It exceeded our expectations. We were not expecting the boat to be as nice or as large as it was. You can sit downstairs at a lovely table and look out of the window or go up on the deck to see the sights. Be sure to go up on the top deck for amazing views. Brilliant when you go under the bridges too. Highly recommend this tour. Great value for money.

Cocktails were delicious and it was not saved. The journey started a little late so that only about 60 minutes remained, which is quite sporty with 3 cocktails. The route and the view were fantastic. The audio guide did not always match what was seen. All in all a nice ride and good value for money

Was abit worried when we saw hen and stag parties in the queue with us but it was a very pleasant river cruise, dring is served to you so no queuing and seats available for everyone. The boat cruised along at the perfect pace to take in all the views. Would recommend the 5pm time slot as you get to see the river by day and by night

The food was good but there's a lot, so go hungry. The biggest mistake I made was forgetting to bring cash to leave a tip for the musicians and staff. I just didn't think to since I'd prepaid for the meal but felt horrible that I didn't have something for them considering how great it was.

First class experience, booking was easy, and arrangements, boarding etc all fine. We took the 21.30 one hour cruise and it was just perfect, still a bit light as we commenced then darkness fell and everywhere illuminated along the Danube. The Parliament building looked fantastic, like a Disney fantasy, as did many other buildings in Buda and Pest. The drink included, alongside video display and many languages on headsets were all appreciated. A must see/do experience when visiting Budapest!!

Amazing views, inside the boat was nice and warm, and the drink selection was good (the hot mulled wine in particular, if you’re a fan.) The only reason it’s 4 not 5 stars is because the drinks come in plastic cups rather than glasses. A small thing, but the photo in the advertisement shows you get glasses.
