Customer reviews of «Danube River Cruises» tours in Budapest

We had a fantastic time! Food was super fast and the staff were fantastic

We made the night tour my family and I with the unlimited drinks and pizza package, I have to say that the pizza was not bad at all

A great company went on a cruise along the Danube with a sumptuous dinner and traditional Hungarian folklore dances. The food was excellent with four courses, including a welcome drink, soup and main course…

Great trip up and down the Danube to see the lit up buildings at night. Remember a jacket so you can sit outside as was particularly chilly even on a hot day

Good cruise, plenty of beer, could use a bit more communication with passengers. They never mentioned once that the food was ready it is only because another feisty passenger asked that they handed over takeaway boxes of pizza. I do think that we could have got to the end of the cruise without it being given to us. Also they tried to tell us that dark and fruit beers were not included. So we just showed the description on here and they backed down. Overall the city makes the trip lovely to see it from a different angle.

An unforgettable experience. The cruise and the spectacular views. Although on the same cruise also traveled people who had hired only the trip, without dinner. They sat without consuming anything at the tables intended for travelers who had dinner included and we had to have dinner sitting on deck in chairs without a table, with the food resting on the knees.

"I had booked the cruise on the day of my arrival in Budapest. Due to severe flight delay I missed the scheduled evening. The customer service solved the problem by not making me lose money or the tour, postponing the same to another evening. A very pleasant and relaxing cruise. Beautiful accompanying music and very kind crew. I highly recommend it. "

Nice fun activity. Very amazing to see the city at night with lighting. Could have been better with an open boat

Great trip, unfortunately for me, my booking didn’t go through correctly, so no pizza. That was disappointing, however, the host looked after me on the beer front, and was very friendly. I was travelling alone, and wouldn’t have felt comfortable mingling fownstairs with the couples/groups, but instead chose to wrap up warm and enjoy the amazing views from the outside top deck. I would advise doing this on your first day in Budapest to help get your bearings for the rest of your trip.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. A great way to see Budapest lit up in all it's glory from the river. The pizza was washed down with some really nice local beer. A shoutout to Antony & his partner from Sweden who we met on the cruise, hope you and my daughter Anna both enjoyed having happy birthday sung to you.

We loved it. Friendly staff and the pizza was delicious too. Whether ready-made pizza or not, we've had worse at Italians. The drinks were also quickly taken care of. In addition, some party mood music which made everything super relaxed. When we saw the other rather stuffy-looking boat trips around us, we were sure that we had done everything right with this. We recommend it.

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

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

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.

Nice cruise, Csabi is the best and the view is amazing. Go for it, night light are beautiful!

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.

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

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.

Went at 5,00pm but already full of very drunk young men! So very noisy! But staff friendly and cocktails very nice. Was a fun 1.5 hours

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

Csabi very good and efficient in his job, he accompanied us upstairs to enjoy the view and made us feel very good

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!

Csabi very good and efficient in his job, he accompanied us upstairs to enjoy the view and made us feel very good

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.

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

Very good service as described, welcomed as it should be, we booked in advance, it's so much the better because we knew nothing about the crowds

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.

Nice cruise, Csabi is the best and the view is amazing. Go for it, night light are beautiful, beer is good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ride for those who want to rest. Not very informative, the sound of the recording is very low. But it fulfills its promise: it goes through the 6 bridges, explains about them, besides the main tourist attractions of the waterfront: castle, São Matias church, parliament, etc. Who will do the bus rides will not have much added.

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

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.

Doesn‘t have a narrated guide, its good for those who want nice views but no annoying guide.

I use your service for the first time. I liked the price, the same tickets are sold twice as expensive at the pier. We were afraid not to find the place of departure and explain that we have an electronic ticket, because everything is very bad with English, and I had no connection , I took a screenshot of the destination, it contains the berth number and the carrier's company, the most important thing of course is to screen the CODE, everything went well, they approached the pier there are large signs with the berth number or a letter, we had BERTH number 3, next to the monument to shoes , the route is also in the application, if you look closely. we arrived early 40 minutes before departure, we started launching 15 minutes before departure, it’s better to come up like this if you want to take places on an open holly, the waiter at the entrance reads your code from the phone and everything;) we bought without champagne) for beautiful photos, buy a ticket with it;) or you can buy at

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€.

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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

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!

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.

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

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

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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 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.

Lovely cruise seeing the city by night, it felt very special despite there being a large number of people. Only downside was that the tannoy system was not very loud so heard nothing of what was being said

Great evening cruise the sights are fantastic, excellent value, the only thing to make it better would be commentary about what buildings we go past with a bit of there history

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.

Good price if you want to get a good overview of Budapest from the river. The audio was lagging a bit but overall it was a pleasant experience!

The sightseeing cruise itself was OK. However it was unnecessary to wait in a huge queue in a sidewalk just beside a street with very high car traffic. Everyone in the queue already had a ticket. Why not allow people get on board and wait for departure inside the boat?

The views and time were wonderful! You have inside and outside seating, your choice. We sat outside. There weren't enough speakers or the volume was low. So, we couldn't hear the tour narration. Apart from that, all was good.

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

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.

Great value for money! A comfortable boat, the price includes a welcome drink (wine) or juice (a little too sweet 😅) and beautiful views, we especially recommend it at sunset!

The boat trip was very cheap and for 70 mins I found this good value. There was loud music playing and a bar selling alcohol, cocktails, soft drinks, as well as pizza. I would recommend this trip, but NOT to families. The boat was full of groups of men and stag do’s who were loud and lively. I feel it would not be appropriate for a family trip. But it was a great ride and a way to see the sights

Budapest at night was impressively beautiful, the great buildings and bridges with lighting were an experience.

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.

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.

This was a great introduction to the city for me. We met at the office (not far from St. Stephen's Basilica) at the appointed time and then walked together to the river. This added an additional 30 minutes or so to the departure time, which made an already late evening, even later. Just something to consider. The sun sets very late in the summer so if you want a night tour, it will have to be late anyway. The views were beautiful and the live music made for an enjoyable atmosphere.

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!

The boat was lovely and we were greeted with a welcome drink and a second drink for our meal. However the food staff (2 lads) were very unfriendly and rude. A large serving spoon fell on the floor and I picked it up to give to one of the lads who before I finished trying to explain it had fallen on the floor declared " No speak English " whilst not even looking at me ! Upon finally looking at me he realised what I was trying to show and took the spoon. The same lad up In collecting our finished meal plates simply said " finished? " And nodded his head at our plates! The food was tasty but cold which was a real shame. However the views were great which, whilst no guide is provided, a simple map showing the highlights would have helped. Especially for passengers who had arrived that day . We knew most of the sights as we had been in the city a few days. Overall , good little trip but needs small improvements.

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.

We've been pick up on time by our friendly driver. We've been looked after since the beginning. 3x were included in the price. Food was abundant. Music is amazing. But our main priority was the overlooking sights of Budapest at night which we spent most of our time in the terrace. We were dropped off in the end in our apartment and had good time. The only negative would be sitting next to strangers on a round table for dinner if you are a reserved kind of person and wanted to enjoy own's company with friends/family.

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.

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.

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!

A first drink (Champaign-not good) and a coupon for a second one (beer/wine/soft drinks) were enough for the 1.5 hour of the cruise. Especially the beer was worthy to taste. The musicians that kept as company were very friendly. They knew at least one song from every place on earth to play when the come to your table. Unfortunately it was raining and we couldn't admire Danube from the Deck of the ship. Although the price was a bit high for what was included it was a nice experience.

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 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!

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.

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.

it was very nice, the food was delicious and the show was amazing!

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!

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

It was a pleasant experience, the show very nice, the food rich and the attention of the staff very nice experience thank you

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

Beautiful experience and great food! The welcome was great and the music made everything very suggestive and romantic. The singer was great and Zoe, the waitress who served us, was professional and kind. This activity is highly recommended!

I would highly recommend this activity. The atmosphere is lovely, intimate and calming. The staff on board are wonderful with a lot of common sense and respect. Absolutely all the tables are by the window which means that it gives you the opportunity to observe all the important buildings of Budapest, Hungary.

Fantastic dinner! We ate really well, the waitresses were very kind and the atmosphere exceeded our expectations. The boat goes around the river several times during the two hours, so there are many opportunities to take pictures of the monuments and you can also go outside. I recommend dressing in layers because it is really hot inside.

The city is so beautiful at night, and the cruise was a great way to see it. Pianists were both talented, and there was a good singer as well. Food was okay, not great. Worth doing for the experience, but (not surprisingly) there is better food ashore!

Very relaxing evening, the selection of food and drinks is good and manageable. The piano interlude has a very special touch. The view is wonderful.

Nice course of dishes, spectacular views, accompanied by beautiful music

This was just great! Beautiful music - 2 piano players and lady singer and host, amazing views of night Budapest and tasty food

A wonderful evening on the river Danube. Good food, pleasant staff and the piano players and singer were absolutely superb.

All the employees were extremely friendly and helpful, especially the piano team and artists were very good. You should definitely attend such an event on the Danube River.

We enjoyed every part of it. The music was wonderful and the food was delightful. (The first appetizer was small though but still nice.

I really enjoyed the walk along the Danube. A comfortable boat, from any point of which everything is perfectly visible around. Suitable for walking in any weather.

A great ship. The upper deck is very comfortable. The staff is responsive and suggests some life hacks

A great boat with a panoramic view: you want it on the street, you want it on the second floor (the observation windows move left/ right, you want it on the first floor, everything is clean

An excursion definitely worth doing if you are in Budapest, seeing the city lit up by the Dunube has its charm. A great experience at an affordable price.

Nice trip back and forth alongside Budapest shoreline. We had the option to land on Margarete island, have a walk there and then using the same ticket board on a following boat and sail back to the starting dock 7.

Brilliant little audio tour, comfy seats and free drinks. What more could you want? Excellent value for money!

It was great! Beautiful ship with plenty of space. We sat in the open part. Explanations via headphones, in many different languages to choose from. Duration of 70 minutes, ideal for children.

Lovely hour & a bit on the Danube. Easy boarding and choice of seats.

Seeing the beautiful Parliament building lit at night was stunning! Great commentary! Lovely sunny warm evening capped it all!

It was a nice experience. We had no problems. We watched with great pleasure the magnificent illumination of Budapest at night.

Great trip and good service. Nice with audio guide in many languages.

The windows would not open, so decent photos impossible. A television at the front of the cabin continuously showing images, too bright at night, a severe distraction.

A lovely evening overall. Would totally recommend the dinner cruise

"Everything was fine, and the food, and the drinks, and the staff. I really liked the dessert.Of course, the walk itself, the views are just great."

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 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

Beautiful experience, delicious food and excellent musicians, wonderful view, I recommend the 7pm time slot.

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

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 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.

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 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!!!

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 .

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.

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 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.

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

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

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!

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.

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...

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

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.

Music top, drinks service only with 1 bar, much room for improvement

We did the boat trip with a JGA group. Tickets with drinks included are recommended, it's worth it! The view from the upper deck was perfect. Unfortunately, it took quite a long time until the mood on the boat was good, after that it was almost over again. It would be nice if the journey took longer than 2 hours. You can see a lot of Budapest and see the city from a different angle. Overall recommended, would definitely do it again.

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.

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 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

We had a great evening aboard the Zsofia! The crew members were nice, there was no lack of alcohol! (for those who had the open bar option) and the music was nice! On top of that everything was very well organized by the crew, even the accompaniment on the scene of the after party! Given the quality of service / price ratio it is an excellent evening option in Budapest

Had a really nice time but the drinks were tasteless and expensive also the photograph won't take your picture if you're there alone he only focus on groups or couples so that's a bit sad and not really nice

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.

A lovely evening overall. Would totally recommend the dinner cruise.

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

It was a magical evening for us. The ship was very spacious and sparkling clean. The reception at the entrance was professional, friendly and rounded off with a glass of ""welcome champagne"". The food at the self-service buffet was really excellent (the finest goulash soup, tender meat with spaetzle and apple and quark strudel for dessert. Nothing to complain about fork. The trip on the Danube took almost 2 hours and gave insights into the most beautiful illuminated buildings. We were accompanied musically by a really excellent Hungarian music trio with noticeable conservatory training. We really liked it. We'd love to do it again.

You get what you pay for. A nice round on the Danube with some food and live music. It was all okay but not that you think wow. The dock where the boat was docked was fairly hard to find. When we arrived, we immediately received a welcome drink and a nice table. There was already a buffet ready and a number of people already tried to serve, but it was only intended to start eating after sailing. I understand the mistake because there was quite a lack of information. We already doubted whether we were at the right boat once we arrived only our name was checked and not the ticket then everything was apparently fine because then we got a glass of champagne and we were escorted to the table we only received an instruction about the drinks . And then suddenly we sailed and the lids of the ''buffet'' were opened. The choice was not huge. There was a choice of 1 soup, 2 Hungarian dishes, bread and a Hungarian cake for dessert.

Very nice moment, romantic decor, well-cooked and hearty meal, music that takes local or more jazzy standards, and above all, the spectacle of the banks of the Danube illuminated by the emblematic monuments of the city, Bridges, Parliament, Mathias Church, Castle. ..Not to be missed, good value for money.

A very good choice, watching the illuminated Budapest is an unforgettable experience.

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 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!

Beautiful cruise along the river it’s so pretty at night. The Prosecco did not stop flowing!

Everything was incredible, there was much space for everyone and the waiters would refill your glass immediately. As I'm getting acne treatment, I wasn't able to drink, but it also had lemonade and water, which were a plus if you're not one to drink. Def worth it, book it at night times for the city lights :)

Recommend booking this in advance as it’s very popular. Very good value for a 90 minute river trip for under £22 per person, with unlimited Hungarian Prosecco with great views along the Danube. The commentary is informative (all in English) and the staff were friendly. Arrive at least 15 minutes prior to departure time by the Big red 0 on the Embankment. Would recommend doing this at night, and views are just as good if you don’t fancy braving the cold in the winter to go out in the open on the top deck.

Such a fun experience! They never let your glass get empty! Highly recommend!

Good tour. A little out of town - so a walk. But great to see the city at night and also very generous on constantly refilling the fizzy wine (don’t expect high end fizz - but nice enough in quantity). The boat was full so turn up 20 /30 mins early to ensure you get a good seat with a view.

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

Fantastic evening & a beautiful way to see the magnificent buildings of Budapest from a distance, all lit up. Staff were very attentive & welcoming. Unlimited Prosecco was fruity & enjoyable. Unfortunately the queuing system to board was disorderly, so a bit of better organisation on the quay would certainly improve matters there.

This is a must do in Budapest! One of our favourite things so far in this beautiful city. Beyond value for money, friendly staff. I would recommend looking up time of sunset and planning your time around this. We went in June at 8pm and saw the sights in daylight on way down river, cruised back up during sunset and got to see the Buda Castle and Parliament light up in darkness all on the one 1.5 hour cruise, simply amazing!

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. :)

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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
