Customer reviews of «Culture Trip Restaurants» tours in Budapest

The views of the illuminated Budapest from the Danube side - wonderful. On the ship too loud music and a lot of people, prosecco very good and it was taken care that the glasses were full. It is definitely worth taking this type of trip!

Excellent service, excellent organization. It's definitely worth it.

Frankly it was good, only there was no more bruschetta so disappointment only unlimited champagne. The view was beautiful.

We absolutely loved this cruise. The boat set off just as it got dark and the lights of Budapest come on. You may have seen the sights while walking around the city but from the river you get a completely different perspective. They were very generous with the prosecco, constantly topping us up and there was also a self-serve option. There was just enough commentary between music to explain what you were looking at and overall it was a fantastic experience.

We had a beautiful cruise on the Danube, we braved the cold and went straight to the top deck where we had the mist beautiful views of all the historical buildings and bridged, our guide explained their history over the speakers, beautiful music was played in between making the whole experience amazing, on top of that we had free freeflowing prosecco this trip is a must for everyone visiting Budapest

I took this tour two times. Saturday and Monday. Generally this is the best ting at this time of the day!!! Theese people are perfect! Only one suggestion. In mondays continue with the same number of waiters as Saturday due to the refilling was very very slow! I saw people taking bottles to serve themselves. Just imagine! Overall experience is EXCELLENT! THANK YOU!

A lovely evening out, nice music and wine (topped up regularly!) - great sights and could pop out to get a better pic - not through the window. Great value for money. We didn't have the platter, just went for a meal afterwards.

Me and my partner are visiting Budapest for a week. And I can say without a doubt that this night cruise is for sure one of the highlights of the trip. The vibe was amazing! There was nice music tables with amazing view! The unlimited champagne was very good! Went buy too fast the Only thing I could say that could improve is moving the big screen that was on the middle of the boat, it’s very bright and disturbing the view. Thank you so much

Stunning views! All the seats had pretty good views inside, but outside was phenomenal! Even though it was cold outside, I could hardly tear myself away to go inside to get warm. Staff kept the prosecco topped off on our glasses. Never had an empty glass. One of our best nights in Budapest

It was a wonderful experience on the Danube. A beautiful night, amazing sights and plenty of processco and a great cheese and meat platter. Well worth the money!

I didn't have a lot of free time in Budapest . It was a perfect way to relax after a day of walking around the city. I chose the 5pm cruise so I could see the sights in the day and nighttime. The colors in the sky at sunset were beautiful. The prosecco was a bit sweet for my taste but it was unlimited and there were other things to drink. I also liked the snack plate.

This was a really fun activity. The boat was easy to find and it was all organised well. Friendly staff greeted you on board with a poured glass of Prosecco and the hosts were extremely attentive, our glasses were never empty! We took the 8pm cruise and it was perfect for evening sun on the way out and setting on the way back with the buildings all lit up beautifully. I would definitely recommend as great value for money.

The cruise was lovely and the staff was friendly and accommodating to my requests. I would recommend the cruise for a lovely evening out with fantastic views of a beautiful city with fabulous ambience.

We had a good evening on this river cruise. The service was attentive and friendly. The view of Budapest is lovely - I imagine it's better in the summer with longer day light hours and better visibility. The pianists and the singers were entertaining, providing gentle background music. The food wasn't exceptional, don't expect fine dining, but nevertheless tasty.

We had a great time. The Show was fantastic. The singer has a beautiful voice and George is a fantastic player as his piano partner. The food could be slightly improved on the taste. Wine selection included in the package was good and the service was very good. Our waiters were very kind. I would do it again!

wonderful music and view, food ok, service ok. We paid 30 extra euros to have a table by the window but in the piano Battle room all tables are by the window so we were really upset about this. Also, people who book a 2 courses dinner are served food only after 6 courses people have finished their first two courses, which means you can get really hangry.

I took one star off for the coordination. We were not on the list, which caused some issues. Besides that, this is a definite recommendation if you have time. Budapest at night on the river is beautiful!!! We got the drink option which they did bring us through out the cruise

Really recommend this! We went for the Piano-show which is on a separate deck of the boat. No need to pay the extra money for a window table as all tables are window tables on the upper deck. Menu options were good - the salmon was over salted, but the rest perfect. Great views - have the camera ready!

Great dinner, views, and entertainment. We bought the 3 course with window seat package. Thought we would perhaps buy the drink package as well, but al la cart pricing for drinks was better selection and very affordable. All seats were by the window so didn't need to purchase that upgrade (two rows of tables all by the window). The duck confit was amazing! Loved the pianists and singer. Lovely romantic river cruise, would highly recommend!

I confirm as already read in other comments that the tables are all on the window so it doesn't make sense to spend more to have that type of service, as far as unlimited drinking is concerned, the same is not worth it, cash that the 3 of us spent €33 on more on site for 2 waters, 2 Cokes, 1 lemonade and 1 bottle of wine. Beautiful experience all very good and the city is a dream, obviously the boat goes back and forth in these 3 hours as the main attractions to see from the river are concentrated there

Our night cruise was superb! A calm, nice experience on the river Danube. We were lucky enough to enjoy the sunset as well. The staff was friendly and helpful. While we were waiting for the boarding one of the kind staff members (think his name was Chris) kept us informed and entertained as well. Very witty guy!

The boat trip was nice, highlighted by the fact they stopped for as we were running a few minutes late. Service was good, the lady singing had an amazing voice and if you like piano tunes, you'll enjoy. We had the unlimited drinks, includes house wine (which was btw pretty good!), beer, softdrinks. Views along the river are spectacular, of course. We'd recommend.

Exactly what I thought it would be if not better! the restaurant/ main area was really lovely, had a lovely atmosphere and the food was good, just the right portion size for 4 courses and the duck we chose for the main course was really delicious. The piano music throughout the meal was great - The paino battle was cheesy but that was all part of the fun. The staff were really helpful, friendly and attentive and overall we really enjoyed our night

Unfortunately, there were a few people sitting at the next table who were very loud and made it difficult to enjoy the great music. From the half it was really great. There were just no comments on the piano game as described. But it's worth it just for the view and the great lighting of the buildings. And also the food was very tasty and the staff and the musicians were great.

There was absolute chaos with boarding and no clear signs for which boat to board. Many in queue were for another cruise and by the time their ticket was checked, they probably missed their cruise. Once we were on board everything was very good. Friendly service. Decent food. Pleasant music. Exuberant dancing. There is no guide, so good idea to take a map to see where you are.

We had an evening cruise and dinner on 14 Feb (Valentines Day) and it was great!! There was live music and traditional Hungarian Dancing while we ate but the real icing on the cake was to see the lovely Budapest Palaces and Parliament Building lit up in the night... absolutely stunning!!

I thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Entertainment was good. Food was not great although I did have the vegetarian option. However, dessert was delicious. The only thing I disliked was that they provide food as part of the package but no water or any drink with the meal aside from small glass upon arrival which I found unusual. They charge for water but I was not told about this until they gave the bill at the end of the cruise. More transparency on this would be helpful.

"The panoramic view with the folkloric ballet, not forgetting the very nice orchestra too. "

Very romantic and characteristic experience. the service is elegant and professional, all the staff very kind. the live music and folk dance show was very enjoyable. we chose the vegetarian menu and were satisfied with all the proposals. the view is truly unique, from inside the ship it is difficult to take photos through the windows but it is still possible to go up to the open deck where the view is breathtaking. ultimately an activity to do to enjoy the beauty of Budapest and the Danube

The boat was lovely food also lovely the only down side was the member of the band playing his violin at every table almost forcing you to give a tip which made us feel very uncomfortable. We always tip staff etc and just feel it was over the top. Apparent from that we had a lovely evening.

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

The most beautiful boat. With space ahead to watch the trip whenever you wanted - but the actual entry (under all Budapest's differently lit bridges) was breathtaking. Perfect service in every way and absolutely good food. A really nice experience. I have been on several of these evening boat tours - and this was the best.

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.

The cruise was very enjoyable and seeing the beautiful buildings on the Danube all lit up was breathtaking. Music was quite good and entertaining. Service was very good. The ship itself was pretty nice. Food was pretty mediocre but the glass if Champaign was a nice touch. Overall enjoyable.

The cruise was lovely and the food not too bad. I’d read some bad reviews about this cruise, the service, and the food but to be honest, I was quite happy with all of it. Entertainment was great too, very talented musicians., If possible I would probably pay extra next time to be sure to get a table near the windows. Also, in the summer, I would do the later cruise to get better photos of the lights. meeting point information could be a more detailed. I would recommend this cruise.

All was wonderful. The band, the food and the beautiful night lights and scenery of Budapest!!!

The entertainment was just impeccable. We had such a fun night. The Champaigne Strings were amazing

The boat was a bit hard to find. The food was only ok. I found myself spending most of the time outside looking at the view than eating.

A lovely evening overall. Would totally recommend the dinner cruise

Loved every second! The atmosphere was great, the tables were lovely, the food was absolutely fresh, tasty and plentiful and the musicians entertained in every genre with great repertoire. Thank you, we loved it

Spectacular. 100% recommended. Amazing views, dinner with varied dishes and typical Hungarian music and dances.

The only thing I would improve on food and would not do self-service

Really lovely staff and drinks were filled up instantly would really recommend

We bought a 3-hour cruise with a 2-course dinner and at the time they asked us if we wanted to leave the ship. We never understood why they do that. And it is necessary that they specify the dinner because it said two-course dinner and it was not good, I think they have to be better at that.

The show was beautiful but the dinner was a bit slow, the courses never arrived. In addition to the goulash soup we had two other main dishes but they were not exceptional: the very fatty goulash and the cod a bit small and with few ingredients, nothing extraordinary. Passion fruit juice is good but it is absurd that with such an expense you have to add more money. The talented musicians and the exciting show, we will repeat it without dinner.

Great evening - good food, excellent entertainment. We bought the drinks inclusive package and all the drinks on the drinks list was not inclusive... only local stuff. When we checked in the first person told us we didn't have the drinks package - however when on board they agreed we had the dinner, drinks and window seat package. A very goid evening - shame about the drinks issue on two fronts.

From the start of evening until the end it was brilliant . The 4 course dining was really good food came out hot and not rushed . A welcome drink on arrival sparkling wine . We paid for unlimited drinks and stuck with the sparkling wine but could have had white wine red wine beers or soft drinks . No sooner we finished a bottle another was brought to us . Entertainment was very enjoyable and we all had a great time

Nice cruise passing by famous monuments. A good time among friends! The - : the seats and tables are fixed so we are a bit stuck once seated. The roof cover is a shame to properly see and take pictures.

This was a lovely evening with entertainment all the way including musicians, singing and dancing. The food was lovely and service excellent. The company cannot be held responsible for the high spirits of other customers who demand attention and were very noisy. The staff dealt with it all superbly. there is also the chance to go out onto a viewing gallery to take photographs. The views were stunning.

at first difficult to find the correct starting point(there are many other cruise companies)no specific sign postings -only seen when almost on top of it-I thought the 3 hour long trip a bit too much.the "voyage'"goes up one side,down the other of the Danube a few times,where the main attraction sites are,so you see the same buildings and bridges over and over again the menu is 4 course,(I took the cruise,dinner and drinks)very well served,food looked and tasted good.desert disappointing-either fruit salad or flan..the flan thick,"listless" and not edible. the folk show and music very entertaining service on board very professional-good waiter service now this is ridiculous..I've posted my review,and it won't go through unless i write 1000 characters.... ........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

We took the 6 course option for a 6 hour dinner cruise. The 6 courses are composed of 2 amuse-bouche, a starter, a main course, a dessert and a cheese (in that order). The 3-hour cruise is in fact twice the same 1h30 loop, which however allows you to take day and night photos of the main monuments of the city. The show alternates between artists playing pieces of contemporary music with violin and double bass, then a show with traditional Hungarian songs and dances.

The River Danube is a magnificent sight when lit up at night and the cruise was well worth the time and money. The staff worked very hard and their customer service was exemplary. The food was delicious (although portion sizes are on the small side). I thought 3hrs for the entire cruise (going back and forth along the same patch of river) was just slightly too long for my personal preference. Also, there was only a tiny amount of outside space at the front and back of the boat to admire the view and take in some fresh air, which was disappointing.. I believe the upper deck was being used for a private tour group?

The price-experience relation is just right. We had a great time. Just the fact of being in a cruise at the danube is charming, on top of that, the staff members are polite and the entertainment is fun. The views are amazing if the weather is right. The food presentation is good, and the taste is fine, don't expect outstanding cuisine though.

We paid for a window seat and unlimited drinks via the EasyJet app. I’m not sure if there were cheaper deals anywhere else but it seemed the cheapest I could find. The food was lovely, I had the duck main course which I would recommend. The soups were also very nice too. There were a few options for the drinks, which was expected with an unlimited option, all local. Service was fantastic, I could not fault it, all very friendly and helpful. Lastly, the performers were great, there was music playing throughout the night, and a woman sang a couple of songs throughout dinner. Then the dancers came on stage as we were finishing our meal and they were great. Once we’d finished eating we were all up on stage. Overall would highly recommend. If you do not decide to pay for a window seat, there are seats in the middle and you can still obviously see out of the window, but you also have the option to go out onto a viewing deck outside to get some good pictures.

This was a fun date night activity. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating. The food is buffet style and just okay but the performance is great and the city is beautiful at night. Definitely would recommend

Nice musical dinner cruise in head to head (advice: if you want a table of 2, arrive early). Hungarian buffet with soup and main dishes and dessert (advice: go there from the start otherwise it's a queue!). Musicians bring a nice touch and on demand they move to play everything! spectacle of the monuments of Budapest illuminated and you can go on the bridge at mealtimes to contemplate them. To recommend.

Cool atmosphere of an old imperial-era ship with professional / perfect workmanship / classical music and the charm of historic architecture You won't leave hungry either. If you do not have a better idea, you will be satisfied. Minus - no information about what you see and what you are swimming around!

it was really not worth the money. we bought a ticket 50eur for the kid and there waa nothing that she could eat. even for us there was no variety. out of 6 dishes almost all were vegetables

Views were spectacular once you got out on deck after the food. Food was very good. Up there with the best of buffet food. We were asked to arrive 30 mins before. Stood in a queue as boarding didn't begin until 10 mins before departure. A minor irritation. Music was not really my thing. Others seemed to enjoy it. Some a bit too much.

WE LIKED:The Riverboat, very nice, very clean. The staff also very polite. The live music was excellent. The musicians sell their CD for 15 euros (5000 fiorints). The view to the Danube is amazing!

Beautiful experience, the food is good and the view is absolutely unmissable. The atmosphere on board the ship is also very nice.

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.

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

Impressive! A delightful sight from the water to Prague, a wonderful walk along the Vltava River, a wonderful motor ship, excellent service! Musical accompaniment during the whole walk, a very talented group of musicians. And of course a very delicious dinner. We were thrilled! Thank you

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

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.

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

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.

It was interesting experience. You can enjoy Budapest at night. Beautiful view. There is live band and entertainment. I really enjoyed that. Our server Valentin was very polite and helpful. Great atmosphere. It is two hours cruise with dinner buffet. The food was ok. Definitely worth it.

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.

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

Everything was excellent, except for the food. The issue of nutrition can be improved. It should not be much, let it be simple, but let it be tasty. More vegetables

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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 .

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

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.

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.

It was perfect, very good view of the city and good service as well

Very good activity to have the best views of Buda and Pest, the only bad thing is the people who crowd at the entrance gate to have a good place

Budapest illuminated is spectacular and this experience allows you to admire it in all its splendor. The boat has seats inside and outside (upper floor), I personally recommend the latter as they allow you to take photos and videos of certainly better quality... I recommend covering yourself well because it is freezing (we went in the month of November) !!! Furthermore, to secure seats outside I recommend arriving at the meeting point a little early, the queue is long and you risk not being able to occupy them. Drink offered on arrival needs improvement. Overall recommended!!!

Definitely got to see loads in the evening lit up which makes for a fantastic site, but there is one major improvement that could be made. A tour guide giving you a brief background of what we are seeing would of been brilliant, as its nice looking at buildings but would of been good to have some history or context behind what we were seeing.

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

Really good cruise for only €11! The drink definitely tasted watered down but can’t complain with the views of the city at night, stunning. Also there is really no queuing system, it’s a bit chaotic, and first in first served for a seat up top but it looked like every seat has a good view either way :)

Super experience! Council in the evening hours to better appreciate the illuminated Parliament

It was great but the route could be better and the location to find the boat too

An absolute must when you come to Budapest. Strongly recommend going in the evening as seeing the Parliament building lit up at night is truly magical- far better than the Instagram pictures. And such value for money with you getting a welcome drink also.

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)

The price is right and they were super punctual, you can sit inside and you can go outside if you can't see well inside. You're offered a glass of not-so-bad prosecco and you're very warm inside.

It was nice but too crowded so you have to queue in advance to be at the window and appreciate properly.
