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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

A lovely way to see the city sights of the Danube at night with live Hungarian music and drinks. The atmosphere on the boat was great , staff very helpful, and the live music made it fun! Even though it rained and it was quite misty, we could still see a lot of the important buildings from the river; and when the parliament building was lit up that made it more special! The extra drinks that we bought on board were fantastic value.

We liked everything. What could be improved: better identification of where to catch the boat. And make it clear that it's just a glass of sparkling wine or a small glass of orange juice. It’s not “with drinks”.

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
