Customer reviews of «Dinner Cruises» tours in Budapest

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.

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.

"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."

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

A lovely evening overall. Would totally recommend the dinner cruise

Dinner was nothing special. View of the city at night was spectacular, but same could be seen from the river walk. 200+$ is way too much.

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

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

We enjoyed this evening, the food was excellent, the staff friendly. The view of the city from the magnificent river.

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

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

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

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!

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.

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

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 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!

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 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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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

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 :)

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

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.

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 really enjoyed the boat trip, they kept refilling the Prosecco at all times, also the view was beautiful and a smooth ride on the Danube. The only downside was that on the deck you could not hear the guide or music.

I was pleasantly surprised-it's a beautiful and pleasant boat, there's nothing wrong with it. The waiters made sure that you always had a full glass. And the views are amazing! There is an English speech that tells something, but it was not heard much, and we did not pay attention to it

Excellent service, excellent organization. It's definitely worth it.

Very good to get wasted in a very short time. Staff was friendly and refilling quickly. When it is dark and foggy you will not see any sights. But that is not important anyway. 11/10 would do it again

We took the 5:30 pm cruise. The boat was elegant, staff courteous and attentive and lovely sunset and night views along the Danube. The staff were generous with the Prosecco and kept the glasses full. Highly recommend this cruise. Was a highlight of our trip

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

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!

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!

good meal, friendly service, wish to make us have a good time. great performances from the musicians and dancers. overall, a pleasant moment admiring the illuminated monuments from the boat. experience to do.

The cruise was great and the food was quite good. We were sat directly next to the live band, so it was difficult to have a conversation at the table since it was so loud. The dancers were very entertaining and it was nice we could go outside on the deck. Overall, it was a nice experience but nothing spectacular.

Very satisfied with the service, the food was delicious, the musicians and the dancers were very good. A special thank you to the companion Nastja.

There was absolute chaos with boarding and no clear signs for which boat to board. Many in queue were for another cruise and by the time their ticket was checked, they probably missed their cruise. Once we were on board everything was very good. Friendly service. Decent food. Pleasant music. Exuberant dancing. There is no guide, so good idea to take a map to see where you are.

We had an evening cruise and dinner on 14 Feb (Valentines Day) and it was great!! There was live music and traditional Hungarian Dancing while we ate but the real icing on the cake was to see the lovely Budapest Palaces and Parliament Building lit up in the night... absolutely stunning!!

I thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Entertainment was good. Food was not great although I did have the vegetarian option. However, dessert was delicious. The only thing I disliked was that they provide food as part of the package but no water or any drink with the meal aside from small glass upon arrival which I found unusual. They charge for water but I was not told about this until they gave the bill at the end of the cruise. More transparency on this would be helpful.

"The panoramic view with the folkloric ballet, not forgetting the very nice orchestra too. "

Very romantic and characteristic experience. the service is elegant and professional, all the staff very kind. the live music and folk dance show was very enjoyable. we chose the vegetarian menu and were satisfied with all the proposals. the view is truly unique, from inside the ship it is difficult to take photos through the windows but it is still possible to go up to the open deck where the view is breathtaking. ultimately an activity to do to enjoy the beauty of Budapest and the Danube

The boat was lovely food also lovely the only down side was the member of the band playing his violin at every table almost forcing you to give a tip which made us feel very uncomfortable. We always tip staff etc and just feel it was over the top. Apparent from that we had a lovely evening.

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

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.

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!

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

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!

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

It was such a perfect night and worth the money! I organised this on the night of my partners birthday, i let legenda know in hopes i could possible request a window table, little did i know they went beyond this and sung him happy birthday with a candle to blow out in his dessert too! Such a lovely suprise and really completed a beautiful evening! Extra drinks are so affordable and all the staff are lovely, the singers were amazing, thank you for an amazing trip!

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.

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

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

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.

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 .

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
