Daytime Sightseeing Boat Cruise (with Margaret Island visit)
A smooth, comfortable Danube cruise with an included drink and generally friendly service. The main downside is that the audio guide can be unreliable or out of sync, and photo quality depends a lot on how clean the windows are. If you go close to sunset, you may catch both daylight and nighttime il

Reviews
Andrea
Excellent sightseeing cruise on the Danube. The city looks so good at night, and this boat was big, modern and clean. The commentary was interesting and it was great to have a drink included in the price, definitely good value for money.
Lee W.
Very relaxing and enjoyable ride, an opportunity to experience Budapest from the river. Highly recommended
Joanna
The cruise was great! Lots of interesting info about the separate and combined histories of Buda and Pest. Would definitely recommend.
Nemes B.
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
Consuelo Á.
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!
Vászoly B.
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 was good and the service was very good. Our waiters were very kind. I would do it again!
Michael R.
Great dinner, views, and entertainment. We bought the 3 course with window seat package. Thought we would perhaps buy the drink package as well, but al la cart pricing for drinks was better selection and very affordable. All seats were by the window so didn't need to purchase that upgrade (two rows of tables all by the window). The duck confit was amazing! Loved the pianists and singer. Lovely romantic river cruise, would highly recommend!
Lisette L.
It is worth doing the walk x the Danube at night, you have a super nice view.
Budai B.
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.
Cristiano P.
Great view, specialty the monuments.
Very comfortable.
Dudás I.
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.
Fábián F.
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.
Ukofjax
Good tour. Worth a trip up the river to sightsee from the water.
Ulan K.
A great ship. The upper deck is very comfortable. The staff is responsive and suggests some life hacks
Pál A.
Nice trip back and forth alongside Budapest shoreline. We had the option to land on Margarete island, have a walk there and then using the same ticket board on a following boat and sail back to the starting dock 7.
Anita
Seeing the beautiful Parliament building lit at night was stunning! Great commentary! Lovely sunny warm evening capped it all!
Elizabeth
A great idea for evening attractions in Budapest!
Gabby
It was a nice experience. We had no problems. We watched with great pleasure the magnificent illumination of Budapest at night.
Mitch
Great trip and good service. Nice with audio guide in many languages.
Myles A.
Great views of the landmarks, even on lower level. Definitely get there early to get the best seats.
