Dinner & Cruise on the Danube with Folklore Dance Show & Live Music

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.

Candlelit Dinner River Walk with Live Music

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.

Budapest Unlimited Prosecco Cruise

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

Budapest Unlimited Prosecco Cruise

Great views and a very nice, chilled atmosphere. Going in November we knew the top deck was going to be cold, but it is freezing!! Make sure to layer up! All other decks were cosy and warm. The staff were super helpful and always kept our glasses topped up. Overall a lovely and very worthwhile cruise!

Hungarian Dinner Cruise on the Danube

great food and view's, didn't get the free wine with the meal though, there's quite a lot going on at the start of the trip, trying to get feed etc and take in the view's. Budapest lit up at night is beautiful. the boat handily retraces its first part of the route towards the end so you don't have to worry about what you missed at the start..

Dinner Cruise with Piano Show

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!
