Customer reviews of «Day Cruise» tours in Budapest

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

It was one of the coolest events in Budapest. The pier is easy to find, and everything happens quickly and with a very short waiting time. The staff is very friendly and professional. It's a pity to miss the opportunity to get this experience.

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

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

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?

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!

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

Nice boat trip, we went at 17:00, there was still sun, and at the end beautiful sunset.

Nice trip, beautiful day, very peaceful aboard the boat and a lovely way to see the city (and out of the blazing June sun!). The drinks were also very appreciated (one free fruity juice drink per person).

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.

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.

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

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

The tour is great! We took the evening tour and enjoyed the buildings at night. There is an audio guide included in the price in many languages (Greek, too) which gives you very interesting information about the city, not the one you can find in any guide, but the details you have to search for. I would recommend you do the cruise at the beginning of your visit in Budapest so that you get to know the city. The staff is very friendly and the drinks offered make the one-hour cruise more enjoyable.

A 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 went for the cheaper option which excluded the food, so I cannot comment on that aspect but the live music was exceptional. What a fabulous violinist! Fun and familiar tunes played, so your toes will be tapping along. The boat is quite lovely. Clean, attentive staff, good drinks, immaculate toilet facilities and a lovely large open deck on top so passengers can get those fantastic nightime shots of the city at its best. Happy to highly recommend.

We spent 5 days in Bdapest, and the night time cruise on the Danube was one of the best experience, the city was beautiful, the music was fantastic, and the meals were tasty. During the whole night was kind and active although it was after 11p.m. at the end. Thank you for the fantastic night!

Booked the cruise to see the nightime sights of Budapest with my son (age 19), mother and son city break. The staff were very friendly, helpful, and attentive. The live musicians were pleasant and a nice touch, but did play the same tunes. We didn't have food included but did purchase some nachos. These were a box version with only salsa, so not totally nachos as we thought. What we were really disappointed with, there was no commentary, or information as to the beautifully, lit buildings and bridges we were passing. We were hoping for some guide or even written information about these. To get nice photos or views of the sights you had to go outside on deck to see as the lighting on board was not dimmed and I could only see my own reflection, but i do understand that people cant eat in the dark. Overall, we did enjoy this river cruise but I'm not sure if I would recommend it.

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!

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

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.

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.

We bought a boat with drinks and live music, and the experience was amazing, we like it.

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.

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?

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

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.

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

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