Reviews
Olga K.
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
Claire
The whole ambience, the service and the food were all great.
Nika
it was very nice, the food was delicious and the show was amazing!
Elisa
The tour is very good. The spectacular views.
Piusz
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!
Victoruya G.
Thank you very much for a nice trip down the Danube with delicious dinner and great music against the backdrop of wonderful Budapest!
Maria
We were glad we booked window seats. This meant we were on the upper deck in a smaller room. The music was ok - but too loud. A piano player would have been enough. Most of the time we couldn't talk.
Török V.
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.
Elena
Yes, there are crowds of people here, but I still really love these baths. A huge number of different pools, beautiful interiors, it's cool outside too.
Skye B.
Dinner was nothing special. View of the city at night was spectacular, but same could be seen from the river walk.
Bács S.
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.
Lengyel K.
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.
Martina
It was nice to see Budapest from the danube, but the tour was bit slow
Boros D.
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.
Fazekas Z.
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€.
