Customer reviews of «Castles» tours in Budapest

I booked the trip on the Danube for my daughter’s ‘hen’ treat with her sisters, friends and myself. The crew were so courteous and welcoming. The complementary drinks were very thoughtful and much appreciated. The actual cruise on the river was calming and absolutely magnificent, especially in the evening with all the buildings and surrounding area lit up beautifully. My daughter, as well as all of us ladies, have a amazing and fantastic memory to remember and hang on to, forever. Thank you so much! Xxx❤️

It was my first time cruise and I was immerssed with the music and the dance. It will be better if we able to book the 7pm Cruise. Sadly it was full booked.

Really worth seeing Budapest at night and the trip was lovely. 2 free drinks and the option to buy more for a cheap price. My only criticism is the room where the live folk music we had booked to see was in a room downstairs with bright lights so you could hardly see the river views. We quickly went out on the deck, as did pretty much everyone, but felt bad for the musicians as they were left performing to about 4 people.

Amazing night, beautiful scenery and attentive staff great cocktails

A really lovely way to see Budapest. The music a nice accompaniment. Drinks were very reasonably priced. We didn’t bother with food. Had a great night.

It was good, I booked the cruise without the restaurant and when I got there I was offered a free white wine, and they gave me a menu with cheap prices. I wanted to book the restaurant cruise but it coasts a lot more and you can find the same food on the cruise without the restaurant.

Well organised, and Great waiter service. However the Live musicians were out to Rip anybody off, playing to the table and selling CDs of local music. A Real Disappointment of our trip to Budapest!!

The boat trip was nice because you could see the impressive buildings on the shore so beautifully illuminated. The welcome drink was a touch of nothing, but the drink prices were okay on board. The music group played appealingly and spontaneously implemented our son's wish. We would go again.

Absolutely astounding. A short walk to the Dock led us onto one of the most luxurious boats I have ever seen. I paid for dinner and the cruise and my partner and myself were led up to our own table and given champagne. Once the cruise was underway the food was opened up and all of it was lovely. Traditional Hungarian dishes and a cold desert table. Despite it being a buffet there was more than enough food and it was all cooked well. We were more than happy with everything presented. The music was fantastic as well with live music being played throughout. Overall well worth the money and an incredibly romantic experience.

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 live music made this experience, it was a fantastic atmosphere, the band were excellent and we thoroughly the evening cruising the Danube and seeing the city from the water.

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.

A lovely evening cruising along the river with my family. I booked a welcome drink which was half a glass of Prosecco but aside from that, we all enjoyed it very much! The staff were all very friendly and the violinist was excellent. I was expecting folk dancing which would have added to our experience but we all enjoyed the couple of hours experiencing the boat.

2 hours seemed a bit long for the trip. The live music was nice and cheerful. There should be some hot beverage serving in the cold months preferably some tea or coffee.

We didn't go much. Stayed just on one place and was about the performance rather than the cruise itself. And I was there more about the cruise

It was a really enjoyable time, but we only saw the Hungarian parliament over the whole 2hs

It was such a perfect night and worth the money! I organised this on the night of my partners birthday, i let legenda know in hopes i could possible request a window table, little did i know they went beyond this and sung him happy birthday with a candle to blow out in his dessert too! Such a lovely suprise and really completed a beautiful evening! Extra drinks are so affordable and all the staff are lovely, the singers were amazing, thank you for an amazing trip!

I loved!!! We had a great time! The experience is like being on a titanic haha

I liked the tour, everything happened as it was stated. Music, buffet with national dishes. Of course, such excursions in Moscow require waiter service, and this is more convenient. But the buffet was announced initially and the dishes were agreed, so you should not expect miracles. We were seated by the window, although we did not pay extra for it. Service is good, everyone is friendly. I liked the musicians. As entertainment on a trip, I recommend.

Very good. Nice musicians, very attentive, friendly and very professional. We had a great time with them.

Loved the activity. Got a welcome prosecco on arrival and a cocktail. The boat cruise was amazing and saw amazing views of the city. I loved the decor and music. Only negative comments is we were sat in the centre and could hear both sides of the boat playing different music which was a bit overstimulating

The overall experience in this cruise from the staff to live music every thing was great. The wine selection for the tasting menu was really good. Got to try the Hungarian special wines.

This was 10/10. The staff are super friendly, the boat is stunning, the food was amazing. You get around 4/5 options to choose from on each course so there is something for everyone. The live music was angelic, stunning voices, soothing and beautiful song choices. I would highly recommend this and thinks it’s value for money. I would do it again and recommend it.

The best activity I have done in Budapest!! The incredible price includes a glass of champagne and three musicians play Valls during dinner, there are two dancers who take photos with you after the show and the musicians go table by table playing the songs that each table wants to hear, they are charming. A true luxury that must be done yes or yes!!! Plus the boat is beautiful, it's worth it. Of course, the food is not worth it but the activity must be experienced!!! We loved it

The pizza was lovely. The sight seeing was good especially by night. The only let down was the rude staff who took our beer cups before we set off as we were the first onto the boat and then didn’t get them back until we asked someone why others had their orders taken for their 2nd cocktails but we had ordered 20 mins before and still waiting. The rude staff members response was “we haven’t even been moving for 20 minutes”. The mixture of cocktails and beer cruises together made it quite chaotic and slow service.

lovely cruise to do as a couple with stunning views of the city. the pizza was what you expect and the whole thing was good value for money if you like to get a few drinks in while going down the river. we went during night time in winter (4:30pm) and unfortunately the front of the parliament wasn’t lit but the rest of it was. we walked down to there other days and it seemed to be the same each time. Other than that everything else was lit and it was beautiful to see the city. I would recommend getting there 30 minutes before your slot if not slightly earlier as there was a big queue and if you wasn’t one of the first you would be unable to get a window table and end up being stuck in the middle of the boat.

Such a lovely experience. We were given priority with these tickets so got on the boat first. Staff were all lovely and pizza came about 1/2 way through and was amazing. Constantly asking to refill our glasses, beautiful scenery, really enjoyed every aspect

Very nice cruise, the pizza tasted good and the beer was really unlimited

The boat trip and the food were very good. Romantic and well arranged. Only downside was the bill where they apparently counted with 2x a glass of wine because I would have received 2dl. No further discussion. But I didn't think it was very neat if I just ask for a glass of wine.

It was a good experience. We arrived at the right time. There were 2 tables by the windows and we were sat in the middle row so I asked if we could move to a window seat but the waitress said there are more people to come. The booking didn’t really specify if window view needed to be pre booked so I don’t think it is not having a window seat was justified with the answer we got. I was a bit disappointed because of this so put a bit of a downer on the experience. The food and the rest of the service was great though. Nice selection of food and the bottle of wine we ordered was lovely

Had a lovely experience on this candlelight dinner cruise with live music and a complimentary drink on arrival . The hosts and everyone was really nice and helpful. The food was a 10 and the view was magical , the night was made even more special when they acknowledged that we were celebrating a birthday and had a special display for us. The tour hosts even waited for us when we arrived a little late at the meeting up venue .

We loved the candlelight dinner. The view was magnificent. Food delicious and attentive, courteous staff. Highly recommended!

It was a romantic experience on a open boat. To see the shores of Budapest while the son was going slowwwly going down and the city get lit up was truly magical. There were choices in the menu and the food was of very high quality. Overall a very excellent 3 hours spent.

Such a nice view of the parliament by night. Definitely recommend to take a boat tour.

This River Dinner Cruise turned out to be better than we'd expected first was the greeting from the staff very welcoming, after that the whole evening was perfect service, live music, food, Seating, spaced out very thoughtfully. I cannot recommend this particular trip more highly.

This cruise is a must when you visit Budapest ! The atmosphere is romantic and warm, due to the live music and the warm heat inside the boat. The food is delicious and the scenery is beautiful. The duration of the cruise is just right and the staff are attentive and friendly. Definitely recommend!

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.
