Customer reviews of «Danube River Cruises» tours in Budapest

It is a cruise without audio guide, but it is the best value for the money. I recomend to take this tour after you check and see all the building by foot and to pay attention on the cruise on the mail buildings such as Parlament, Buda castle, Fishermans bastiona, Gelert Hill and the Citadela. Also, is is very beautifull to cruise under the main Budapest bridges such as Chain bridge, Elizabet bridge and the Margits bridge.

Great experience and hospitable service. You get a drink of your choice with the cruise ticket for a very affordable price.

Make sure to go on a day that isn’t a holiday so that the Parliament building is actually lit up.

Beautiful city, easy to walk with average fitness. Hop on hop of bus a must , book for 2 days much cheaper( only 5 euros more than 1 day). Don’t miss Margret Island , lovely to cycle around. River cruise day and night. So much to enjoy , Thermal bathes and New York Cafe.

I liked it but there were not too many places upstairs and a part of the boat was half covered from the sides.

It was on time and enough seating for everyone on board. The information was provided on over head tv screens which was useful since we did not have earphones to listen to the App version of the commentary. It was relaxing and the use of the on board bar was great.

At first we thought we wouldn't all fit on the boat because it was so full. We couldn't sit upstairs, but we could sit downstairs at the table, where the chairs were much better anyway. Also, we could rotate the chairs and you could open the windows downstairs so you could see everything great. It was an absolutely beautiful ride and the time (9pm) was perfect.

The cruise was very enjoyable and seeing the beautiful buildings on the Danube all lit up was breathtaking. Service was very good. The ship itself was pretty nice. Food was pretty mediocre. Overall enjoyable.

Everything has gone very well from the reservation to the activity, recommended

The cabin was spacious and very clean. I felt the balcony was excellent value and actually spent time on it.

Wonderful time during the cruise. Great views especially during the night time! I highly recommend it:-)

Quite a big boat, however alot smaller than some going up & down the Danube. Easy boarding, drink of Lemonade awaited us. Managed to get a seat upstairs to get the best views, went all the way up as far as Margaret Island & down to Gellert Baths. Great to see everything lit up. For the price you can't go wrong

Great value for money, prosecco was definitely unlimited and hosts were really friendly. Just the right of information about what buildings we could see and their history. Make sure you book a taxi home after as the ones waiting are classed as private and will be very expensive!

interior of Ludwig boat was luxurious and prosecco was REALLY unlimited, every sip you took was refilled. Upper part of boat was nice too but the billboard really ruins the atmosphere there… buildings were unfortunately not lightened at 23:00 at Saturday so it was pitty. But cruise was perfect. I recommend. :)

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.

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.

Belle ballade sur le Danube Attention les lumières de la ville s'éteignent à 22h pour une croisière qui se termine à 22h15. Proscecco illimité ! Les serveurs vous servent tout au lond de l événement Bonne ambiance mais musique un peu forte et beaucoup de bruit car beaucoup de jeunes qui viennent faire un peu leur avant sortie

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

We was supposed to get there 15 mins early! But our taxis kept cancelling! We got to the entrance at 7:02 unsure if we would be able too attend this. However we was greeted with a big smile and asked to see our passes! Followed by 2 glasses of champagne! Which was constantly topped up! Never empty!

Fun little cruise in the dreamy lights of Budapest. Definitely recommend for the experience. Prosecco never stops and reality never kicks in.

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.

A great way to see Budapest! Fantastic Boat, good service and lots of bubbles.

We went on this trip at 20:30 and it was awesome to see the city lit up at night. The boat was a good size and we managed to get a seat on the upper deck outside which was perfect. Staff were attentive and made sure your glass was always topped up with Prosecco. Well worth it!

When we first arrived at the dock on time there was no guide to greet us so was unsure if we was at the correct meeting point. No information was given and the queue wasn’t a queue as such just lots of people huddling around in the entrance. On entering the Ludwig (cruise) we were greeted and the setting changed and was very enjoyable. The activity overall was enjoyable we booked an evening cruise with unlimited Prosecco ( the staff just came round and refilled your glass. We didn’t have to go to the bar 😃 it was magical at night and seeing the historical buildings all lit up.

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

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.

First a perfect sunset, then dusk and later the lights of the magnificent buildings on both sides of the Danube. Our (first) stay in Budapest could not have started better! If you book the piano battle, you sit in the upper, smaller dining room of the ship, where there are only two rows of tables. Each table is therefore right next to the window, which can be opened. We liked the music (pop music) and the two pianists played very well. The three-course menu, which offered the option of choosing between different dishes, also tasted good. We didn't book the drinks as all "inclusive", but paid for them individually, which was the cheaper option for us. The staff were all very nice. We spent three pleasant, entertaining and well-organized hours on this boat trip.

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

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.

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!

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.

The cruise was excellent with great views! The only downside is that you have to get a good seat to have the best view. Drinks inside were not overpriced and the parlement building was worth every penny. Overall a great activity! Don't forget to look up the places yourself before the trip to get a better understanding, and be there early to get the best views!

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!

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.

It is worth doing the walk x the Danube at night, you have a super nice view.

Budapest bei Nacht zu sehen, war ein Erlebnis. Alle Sehenswürdigkeiten toll in warmen Licht eingehüllt. Die Lokalität ansprechend, der Service freundlich und aufmerksam. Die musikalischen Akzente live und sehr schön. Alles in allem, eine gelungene Aktivität. Muss man gesehen haben!

We booked this cruise for our first night in Budapest and was not disappointed! It is the perfect way to see all of beautiful buildings/bridges. We selected the cocktail option and we’re very satisfied as they were delicious (strong too so a little tipsy by the end of the night!) There was some entertainment too which involved some traditional dancing, this was lovely to watch. Would definitely recommend this cruise, all the staff were also very helpful and friendly!

We had booked a driver from and to our hotel, perfect solution when it finishes late. The lights and monuments were amazing, and we could take very beautiful pictures. The boat is quite long and you can circle all around on the deck and sit if you want to rest, outside or inside. The Hungarian orchestra is lovely too. A wonderful night!

Mine was the night cruise with just welcome drink @10PM. The whole programme was well organized and I see few reviews saying that there's not enough space (two dining areas and a top deck) or not more than one drink provided for free. Well, it depends on how much you pay. It's clearly mentioned while booking. Moreover, it's not a "long" walk, around 500-600m only. Overall, it was a superb experience! Keep up the good work :)

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.

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!!

one of the best river cruise ever. Everything was amazing: the boat, the service, the staff, the music. Really nice option, so, if you do not buy the buffet option, one can always buy food on boar that is delicious and very cheap. Also drinks are super cheap. It was my second time here, and always good.

They welcomed us with a warm smile and a welcome glass of prosecco. Live music and typical Hungarian dances on board. We didn't have the buffet option, but you can still order food and drinks on board at a low price. We ordered the goulash, which was very good. The cruise ends at the starting point.

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.

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.

Very large boat and it left a bit late because it took a long time to embark all the passengers. There was no commentary telling us about the places we were passing though. The staff were very nice. The musicians didn’t play out on the deck but we went inside towards the end to listen and this was fun.

It was a great experience and a wonderful way to see the sights of Budapest lit up at night. We went for a drinks package, and it felt a little oversold and quite cramped in the room we were in. I’d pay more and book the meal next time, as the upper deck looked much nicer laid out. It was confusing whether the drinks package was table service or not as the waiter was missing most of the trip. Although when asked he did advise he would get drinks for the table. The live music was excellent, really entertaining. All in all, it was reasonably priced and a last minute excursion on our holiday which we really enjoyed, the sights from the river are beautiful in the evening and there was lots of room on the viewing deck. Would recommend!

a wonderful end to our short trip to Budapest! The cocktails were delicious and, in our opinion, had enough alcohol... and 3 pieces in 70 minutes are absolutely stress-free. There was enough time to enjoy the two wonderfully illuminated banks of the Danube ... incredibly beautiful and recommended

Excellent relaxed cruise, see all the sights of Budapest along the river lit up at night..highly recommended

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

The cocktail cruise is a lovely evening activity. It was very nice to be able to look at the old buildings with the great lighting at night. The cocktails all tasted really good! The service from Salwa and Adam was great. The two were very attentive and friendly. The bar employees Dia and Emese also did a great job. I would always recommend this tour! Price performance is top!

Great views and a pleasant cruise. I didn't realise it was more of a ferry/barge type boat where there was no outdoor space which would have been nicer. You are also put into one seated area with access to the bar unlike passengers who didn't opt for thre drinks package.

Great value for money, cocktails and cruise were good, great way to see some of the sites. We thought the cruise was going to be someone talking about the sites etc but this wasn’t the case and just had music playing in the background which wasn’t an issue for us.

Was very fun, with the music and the cocktails. The ticket saved you a lot of waiting time

Myself and 2 other ladies did this cruise on the 26th of November. Was amazing to see all the beauty of Budapest from the river Danube. We sat on deck most of the trip and thoroughly enjoyed the 3 cocktails which was part of the trip. Crew was very helpful. Definitely recommend to go on this.

Nice event, the illuminated buildings are really worth seeing. The cocktails were delicious and were brought quickly. Unfortunately, the ship first drove towards Margarethen Island and then south, so that we could not see the illuminated parliament from the ship. (Departure in mid-April at 7:00 p.m.) So maybe choose a later date - if possible.

Absolutely loved this cruise! We went for this one as we’re not big on Prosecco and it was 100% the tight choice. Great choice in cocktails and you get three for just over an hours trip which is perfect. Servers were amazing as well, Sara was so helpful and lovely. Can’t recommend this enough!

It was a great experience, however I would have liked there to be better music. But over all it was a great experience for myself and my friends.

It was a great evening, but don't expect too much party atmosphere because the music isn't loud enough in my opinion. Many are there to meet other people, but overall very nice.

it was so much fun! everything was included, like mentioned, also a wardrobe for your jackets. after the boat tour there was a party shuttlebus to a club. woult totally recommend this tour!

Great visual experience on the Danube with a friendly atmosphere during the trip and during the after party

Despite having to wait a bit longer than expected the cruise didn’t disappoint. Great music, great staff, we had an amazing time. Also felt pretty safe because many staff members were around and there signs about consent and drinking all over! :))

This is a great way to socialise and meet new people. We had so much fun we went twice!

It was definitely wonderful to be among other tourists/travellers and conversations with them, the views of Budapest from the boat were also breathtaking, but on the other hand the music was quite old and boring, I mean what's a party without good music? The drinks were also quite light but hey free right, I guess for me the best part was just meeting new people, definitely recommend

The boat holds about 250 people in one event, it sounds a lot but when on board it’s really spread out. It has great music, secure cloak room for your belongings and nice toilets. We received a wrist band and our own bar but only spirit and mixer was available. I had booked with the understanding we could also receive cocktails.

A good formula to combine fun and Budapest (parliament) at night. The music should have been a bit more varied, the dancing and the open bar were a bit far away, probably on purpose ;) Overall, we were very pleased.

I had read mixed reviews about this boat party so was a bit anxious but it was amazing! Luckily our boat didn’t feel too busy.. it was busy enough the dance floor was full and there were plenty of people but it took a few minutes to get a drink and go to the loo. We paid for the all inclusive package and it was definitely worth it! We were never without a drink. The boat moves slow so you hardly feel motion and up on the top is lovely still even with the music pumping.

Great experience! A top atmosphere with good music and the staff is really nice and totally crazy! That's what's good !

The cruise was as expected, the boat was fine, good music and a good atmosphere, the space on the terrace is great. Just point out that it is not worth contracting with an open bar, it is more expensive and they have very little offer of drinks and all of inferior quality, also you can only order at a bar that is in the last corner of the ship, if you take the ticket with 2 drinks that are cheaper, you can order at any bar and much better quality drinks, I didn't like that and it seemed like a lot of scam...

I was lucky to see the ads of this boat trip. Cozy, comfortable and well managed trip, service was amazing, drinks were delicious and views of course- breathtaking. I would recommend smaller boat as Duna cruise, because they look and feel much better than bigger ones.

Excellent!!!! Super recommended!!! The champagne spectacular and the prices on board super affordable!!

There was no guide Excellent trip up the River Nice welcome drink Bar on board Warm

Comfortable lounge chairs on deck, good champagne, friendly crew. It's just a shame that there is no (audio) guide. I was missing the information on how/when you can download this online guide. Apart from that: honestly, who wants to read while on a boat and not enjoy the view?

Beautiful ship, enclosed so it was warm but you could go up top with blankets. Glass of Prosecco included and had a nice menu of additional drinks. Lasted about 60 mins and have great views up and down the Danube. Only think I would want to add is some narration. We didn’t always know what we were looking at

Comfortable lounge chairs on deck, good champagne, friendly crew. It's just a pity that there is no (audio)guide. I was missing the information on how / when to download this online guide. Apart from that: Honestly, who wants to read while on a boat trip and not rather enjoy the view?

The cruise was beautiful and gave us all the beautiful views of Budapest. Good value for money, welcome wine is also provided.

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

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

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.

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

Fantastic experience, cruise on the Danube in the evening an incredible show. Excellent food and exceptional hospitality. Incredible atmosphere thanks also to the live music. Highly recommended. PS: We took the cruise with the extra window table, it was worth it

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.

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 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.

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

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

A brilliant experience, lovely food alongside beautiful views and wonderful music. Would definitely do this again!

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.

It was very funny, good music on the ship, super nice staff, beer and wine always got to the table quickly, as a result they drank quite a lot :) In the evening it is a super nice view of the sights, everything is well lit. Highly recommended.

Really fun time, great value for money and lovely to see the sights up close at night

It's worth it, it's very nice to walk along the Danube, have a drink with friends, see the city

The cruise was clean, there was amazing views up and down the Danube river, and the staff were also very friendly! Great atmosphere and vibe all around! Would highly recommend!!

it's was really good. The tour guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. Flavia and Bior. Made us feel very welcome. Would definitely recommend

Nice cruise on the Danube with Hungarian folklore that allows us to learn a little more about this culture. As for the meal, we had chosen the 3-course plus drink option. It's clearly not haute cuisine but we had dinner.

If you want a really good evening that will be remembered, you need to take a drink package, a table by the window and a folklore program (and an option for 3 hours). For those who doubt - great vocals, great musicians, 3 hours makes sense to look at the city and out of the window, and go out for a smoke - look from the water. The food is quite ok.

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.

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

This has two sides of a score of 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. the experience, the cruise, the food, the orchestra, singer and dancers, a good mix which made the night entertaining, 3 hrs long but flew past in no time. The other side of the story is the hidden costs and rip off all inclusive drinks option. The all inclusive drinks option doesn’t include known beers, no spirits, in fact no nothing. All inclusive in there eyes is, local beer, some house wine, tea, coffee and sparkling wine, hardly worthy of the cost of being all inclusive with no option or having to pay, yes pay for spirits, bearing in mind you think you are all inclusive…..Well your NOT! Oh, you pay xtra for a window seat too, unbelievable The food was good, we had 3 courses. Soup, Chicken and Chocolate Brownie. Portion size , The table service was c poor soul “Hannah “ on her own to cover all the tables, large and small parties. She was excellent in trying to provide an adequate service, but some assistance would have helped.

Good atmosphere and friendly staff. It took some time to get the first drink but everything else was great!

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?

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.

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.

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.

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

It was amazing! Very good organization and very friendly staff. I recommend it

The boat came on time. Very nice captain and crew. Highly recommended - TOP Very happy to repeat!

Came a little late and rushed us but overall brilliant boat trip. Nice route - would recommend doing it in the sunset. Allowed to put music too and have the full personal experience. Friendly driver and host.

We were a group of 9 people. We got on the boat on time and enjoyed the quiet morning boat ride. Performance as promised.

I booked it for me and my companion in the evening - very romantic! And the staff is super nice and really helpful. Would book it any time again

Unfortunately for us the weather was awful. It had just started to snow and therefore it was difficult to see outside as the boat got all steamed up. However the skipper did open the window for a short while so we could take some photos. I’m sure in the summer it would be wonderful. We liked not having other people with us as we saw the big boats were really busy. I would definitely recommend this if there’s a group of you.

nice trip, exactly like described, crew on board is very friendly :)

This was a great activity. I loved that it was private. The boat was nice and the city of course is amazing.

It was a nice experience, but a long walk to the departure pier from the parliament

The cruise itself was not fast, but rather slow and relaxing. This allowed us to enjoy the panoramic views and take wonderful photos. The route passed through the inner city, allowing you to see the main attractions such as the Parliament, Buda Castle and others.

We selected a different Port and it worked perfect! Right in time the boat arrived with a Captain and a second person. We started at 8 pm and saw the city by night. Cocktails were great and not expensive. Music was great and we danced on the boat - just my little family. Experience was perfect and we will come back and book it again! Nothing to complain, only enjoy!

This Danube River tour in Budapest was just amazing! We chose an evening cruise to enjoy the illuminated bridges and views of the city. The boat was clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The on-board bar was open and the prices for drinks and snacks were quite reasonable.

We really enjoyed our time on the unlimited drinks tour. Staff were very friendly and upbeat. Good value for money

A must experience while visiting Budapest. Cruising the Danube at night with unlimited drinks was incredible. The views from the boat are spectacular. I highly recommend booking this experience.

Budapest is a beautiful city to see day and night, and we really enjoyed our dinner cruise. They met us when we boarded and sat us down at our table with a glass of champagne when we arrived. Magnificent views of the parliament, the chain bridge and other attractions.

Unlimited music and drinks for a nocturnal river trip of more than 70 minutes without explanation, which is good to know. The monuments are splendid at night.

The cruise was very good! Service was excellent, staff were really nice and very accommodating especially Salwa who went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time! Highly recommend the unlimited booze cruise. Note, spirits and shots are not included in the free drinks but the dry white wine is fabulous!

Cruise was fun. Unlimited drinks. The music though was way too loud!

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.

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.

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

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

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

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!

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!

The night cruise is very interesting. Budapest at night looks wonderful from the perspective of the ship. Unfortunately the music is not heard on the terrace.

It was alright for the price. Didn't expect a welcome drink and that was nice. Do arrive really early to snap up the window seats and it's important to scan the QR code on the table to download the audio guide. There's no announcement to do it so if you miss it out, you don't get any audio guide.

We (my wife and 2 children) found this to be a nice boat trip for the money. Relatively limited seating room on the open deck part of the boat. The commentary was recorded and disjointed at times. Quite a few of the passengers were on the lunch option (lower deck) or ordered drinks and snacks on our (upper) deck. If you don't want a lengthy cruise and you're content to just look out of the window and enjoy the view then it's great. Very relaxed experience.

Great experience! I absolutely recommend it to spend 1 hour of tranquility. It is recommended to arrive a half hour earlier so as to line up, enter earlier and find places down and not up, which are uncovered and can get cold, especially in winter! Very very romantic.

The boat trip lasted two hours on the same route - this made it possible to have a more leisurely experience. It was also nice that the ride started at 7pm and then it soon got dusk and the lights of the city came into their own.

Superb cruise, 90 min allows you to fully enjoy the Danube and the different landscapes! Possibility to have a drink during the cruise and the prices are very correct. I highly recommend because the cruise is well worth the 8€ unlike some at more than 20€.

Very interesting cruise and with a cost well below others .. we were told that we would have a guide in English, but there was no guide to explain what we saw! Just a girl who came to us from the meeting point on the ship.

There was wind warning for Budapest that day but they made us wait outside for more than 20 mins. Oh and we can't go up the yacht for reason we don't know.

Nice experience except that the long wait to frost for technical failure

Fantastic view to the mail city attractions at sunset and night, more than 2 hours on water

We liked a lot this activity. It is a good value for money. The only thing need to be noticed by the managers is the quality of the music. The playlist is comsited of many different types of music, pop, then rock, then 80's soft music, then again pop, it kind drives you crazy and i think it downgrades the overall experience.

That a perfect fair for this money! We had live music with dances of profesional dancers. Ship is big and you can outside to enjoy the view. Other than this you have your table when you can enjoy the bar drinks and food. Really, for this price is PERFECT!

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Guides were fantastic. However felt overall trip is overpriced compared to similar trips in other cities.

Absolutely fantastically good and fun. Lovely and incredibly knowledgeable guide, really recommend this! We were 6 people and rode in 3 tuktuks and got to see all the sights.

The ride with the driver Robbi was super nice. He took his time and explained and showed a lot. Robbi is really recommended. Pick up was right on time at the hotel. Brought us to the ship on time and also arranged everything for us there.

Our driver, David was really friendly and informative. The tour did not feel rushed. We were able to direct where we wanted to go and had plenty of time for photos. There were points where we got out and walked, which was a nice combination with the TukTuk ride. Would highly recommend. Was a great way to get to know the city and get our bearings before exploring on foot.

we were delighted with the discovery of BUDAPEST by tuk tuk, a very pleasant moment with frequent stops for photos and discovery of old Buda... Very attentive and very friendly guide who gave us good addresses and precious advice. We recommend this atypical visit and thank you again for the kindness of the guide

The slightly different city tour :-) Simply great and highly recommended to everyone! Thanks to the captain who navigated our bus safely and skillfully through the stormy waves of the Danube and stayed on course. The whole team is extremely friendly, flexible and great. Thanks!

It was a nice experience. As soon as we got on we were given disposable headphones to listen to the guide. We first took a tour through the streets of Budapest, then we "dived" into the water alongside Margaret Island for a short period, and then we continued our tour by land to the starting point. the moment I liked most was the dive: A beautiful and unforgettable experience; the moment I liked least was the ride in the water: nice, but I expected more.

This all went to plan booked in UK, instruction we great. You do small tour of city which gives you good ideal of thinks to see we booked for that reason on our 1st day of break. you then go into the river and you can see the outstanding buildings and bridges . you are then taken back to pick up point .

I am delighted!!! I read different reviews, but curiosity took over) someone previously wrote that it was boring on the water .. and slowly walking ... did not notice this)) !! Very cool trip! Near the parliament, the bus makes a turn and back!!! All with humor ( Excursion ) the only bad thing is that the bus was pasted over with a film (from the sun) if you plan to take pictures, like me ...))) I advise everyone !! You will not regret!! Guys, thank you very much!!!

The information on how to use the headphones was insufficient. It would have been easy if the accompanying staff had offered help. There was no information whatsoever on the way back ashore. The windows of the bus would have to be anti-reflective so that proper photos / films can be made. Nevertheless, the tour was a nice experience.

Very good! But the audio did not work, but the live guide was so good.

You can see a lot of the city cheaply and taking the bus into the water is an experience in itself. Meeting point is super easy to find, staff was very nice

Bus tour was good and and commentary was ok . However they said for all passengers to wear masks for the duration. At least 14 people on the bus did not wear face coverings and were not enforced to do so . This was off putting and dampened the trip

Sometimes the audio was out of sync, wish there was a bit more audio commentary as I felt myself drifting off to the classical music, but otherwise the whole experience is impressive and not badly priced.

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

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!

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 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.

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.

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.

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 .

Had a really lovely hour on the boat. It’s a short trip but worth it. The staff are not the most pleasant , but they are on a tight schedule getting people on and off on time. I really disliked how people jostled and pushed to get on the boat, I suppose not everyone has manners. I would say just sit and watch the view, far too many people taking photos then head down to edit for Instagram. Missing the view! Also, when we arrived at the pier, the times of the boats trips did not match our tickets so that was a bit concerning. I would recommend overall 😀

Nice, to do. If you take the sightseeing tour with the red double-decker hop on hop off bus, know that the boat is already included. I didn't know and paid for this when I could do without it. It doesn't last long but that's okay. When you go out, beware of taxis that ask for exaggerated and inflated sums to return to the center.

Everything was as it was stated on the Website. On time, enaugh place to seat inside and outside.

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

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.

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

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

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 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

Everyone who comes to Budapest should take such a cruise. The experience of seeing Budapest in the evening is unforgettable. The cruise lasted an hour. There was a welcome drink in the form of red sparkling wine or juices. Possibility to purchase other drinks on board. I recommend..

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.

That a perfect fair for this money! We had live music with dances of profesional dancers. Ship is big and you can outside to enjoy the view. Other than this you have your table when you can enjoy the bar drinks and food. Really, for this price is PERFECT!

Anyone who associates Budapest with Hungarian music and Czarda's dance performance will not be disappointed here. On a beautifully restored paddle steamer of the k. and k. Monarchy, you can cruise along the wonderfully illuminated Danube promenade in the evening. The parliament and the castle are within reach. From a culinary point of view, you get your money's worth at the buffet. A successful evening. Easy to reach metro station for the journey home

Very good, perfect quality/price, even the drink on board was the right price 😊I recommend it

Really nice time on the boat amazing to see The city at night worth the money for sure

Met my expectations and delivered as detailed in the brochure except for the live music part. Wasn't looking for it though and enjoyed the quietitude of seating on the deck of a paddle wheel drive steamer while enjoying the sights.

Everything was perfect: music, show, food, drinks. We could choose to sit outside or inside. The staff was very kind and attentive throughout. The 2-hour duration is just right.

Beautiful cruise in magical Budapest at night. We took the formula without a drink and sat inside as it was cold. too bad the musicians circle around you playing to get a tip, otherwise it would have been very relaxing

I thought there was going to be commentary on the cruise pointing out historical interests in the taxi I feared for our safety the driving was appalling however we did enjoy the cruise itself
