Customer reviews of «Highlights» tours in Budapest

The slightly different city tour :-) Simply great and highly recommended to everyone! Thanks to the captain who navigated our bus safely and skillfully through the stormy waves of the Danube and stayed on course. The whole team is extremely friendly, flexible and great. Thanks!

It was a nice experience. As soon as we got on we were given disposable headphones to listen to the guide. We first took a tour through the streets of Budapest, then we "dived" into the water alongside Margaret Island for a short period, and then we continued our tour by land to the starting point. the moment I liked most was the dive: A beautiful and unforgettable experience; the moment I liked least was the ride in the water: nice, but I expected more.

This all went to plan booked in UK, instruction we great. You do small tour of city which gives you good ideal of thinks to see we booked for that reason on our 1st day of break. you then go into the river and you can see the outstanding buildings and bridges . you are then taken back to pick up point .

I am delighted!!! I read different reviews, but curiosity took over) someone previously wrote that it was boring on the water .. and slowly walking ... did not notice this)) !! Very cool trip! Near the parliament, the bus makes a turn and back!!! All with humor ( Excursion ) the only bad thing is that the bus was pasted over with a film (from the sun) if you plan to take pictures, like me ...))) I advise everyone !! You will not regret!! Guys, thank you very much!!!

The information on how to use the headphones was insufficient. It would have been easy if the accompanying staff had offered help. There was no information whatsoever on the way back ashore. The windows of the bus would have to be anti-reflective so that proper photos / films can be made. Nevertheless, the tour was a nice experience.

Very good! But the audio did not work, but the live guide was so good.

You can see a lot of the city cheaply and taking the bus into the water is an experience in itself. Meeting point is super easy to find, staff was very nice

Bus tour was good and and commentary was ok . However they said for all passengers to wear masks for the duration. At least 14 people on the bus did not wear face coverings and were not enforced to do so . This was off putting and dampened the trip

Sometimes the audio was out of sync, wish there was a bit more audio commentary as I felt myself drifting off to the classical music, but otherwise the whole experience is impressive and not badly priced.

It was perfect, very good view of the city and good service as well

Very good activity to have the best views of Buda and Pest, the only bad thing is the people who crowd at the entrance gate to have a good place

Budapest illuminated is spectacular and this experience allows you to admire it in all its splendor. The boat has seats inside and outside (upper floor), I personally recommend the latter as they allow you to take photos and videos of certainly better quality... I recommend covering yourself well because it is freezing (we went in the month of November) !!! Furthermore, to secure seats outside I recommend arriving at the meeting point a little early, the queue is long and you risk not being able to occupy them. Drink offered on arrival needs improvement. Overall recommended!!!

Definitely got to see loads in the evening lit up which makes for a fantastic site, but there is one major improvement that could be made. A tour guide giving you a brief background of what we are seeing would of been brilliant, as its nice looking at buildings but would of been good to have some history or context behind what we were seeing.

Nice mini cruise, does everything it promises, welcome drink and great view !! I do not give all the stars because the boarding was a bit chaotic, we had arrived first an hour before and we found ourselves in the middle of the crowd that entered without arrival criteria. In short, people who passed by all over the place without a real queue to enforce

Really good cruise for only €11! The drink definitely tasted watered down but can’t complain with the views of the city at night, stunning. Also there is really no queuing system, it’s a bit chaotic, and first in first served for a seat up top but it looked like every seat has a good view either way :)

Super experience! Council in the evening hours to better appreciate the illuminated Parliament

It was great but the route could be better and the location to find the boat too

An absolute must when you come to Budapest. Strongly recommend going in the evening as seeing the Parliament building lit up at night is truly magical- far better than the Instagram pictures. And such value for money with you getting a welcome drink also.

Though the staff and the whole boat experience was awesome, the people were acting kinda like animals. They couldn't respect the line, were pushing each other desperately to get 'the best spot' (I had even received a wonderful free elbow in my rib). They couldn't be controlled, so I understand that the crew was kinda overwhelmed by their behaviour. Funny or not, we (3 persons) got a really good table on the deck, being among the last ones who scanned their ticket. So why acting feral? ((Just a rhetoric question)

The price is right and they were super punctual, you can sit inside and you can go outside if you can't see well inside. You're offered a glass of not-so-bad prosecco and you're very warm inside.

It was nice but too crowded so you have to queue in advance to be at the window and appreciate properly.

That a perfect fair for this money! We had live music with dances of profesional dancers. Ship is big and you can outside to enjoy the view. Other than this you have your table when you can enjoy the bar drinks and food. Really, for this price is PERFECT!

Anyone who associates Budapest with Hungarian music and Czarda's dance performance will not be disappointed here. On a beautifully restored paddle steamer of the k. and k. Monarchy, you can cruise along the wonderfully illuminated Danube promenade in the evening. The parliament and the castle are within reach. From a culinary point of view, you get your money's worth at the buffet. A successful evening. Easy to reach metro station for the journey home

Very good, perfect quality/price, even the drink on board was the right price 😊I recommend it

Really nice time on the boat amazing to see The city at night worth the money for sure

Met my expectations and delivered as detailed in the brochure except for the live music part. Wasn't looking for it though and enjoyed the quietitude of seating on the deck of a paddle wheel drive steamer while enjoying the sights.

Everything was perfect: music, show, food, drinks. We could choose to sit outside or inside. The staff was very kind and attentive throughout. The 2-hour duration is just right.

Beautiful cruise in magical Budapest at night. We took the formula without a drink and sat inside as it was cold. too bad the musicians circle around you playing to get a tip, otherwise it would have been very relaxing

I thought there was going to be commentary on the cruise pointing out historical interests in the taxi I feared for our safety the driving was appalling however we did enjoy the cruise itself
