We had a wonderful day with Sofia who looked after us wonderfully well.
Vari R.
Wonderful time during the cruise. Great views especially during the night time! I highly recommend it:-)
Lizbeth C.
I liked it but there were not too many places upstairs and a part of the boat was half covered from the sides.
Lily
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.
G D.
the upper open deck was so crowded you could not even sit up from your seat. All the other was great.
Stephen_T
My husband and I really enjoy the city of Bratislava. Highly recommended day tour from Budapest especially when the tour guide is fun and nice named Szofia.
Jackie
Wonderful Vivaldi concert in a beautiful church.
Mészáros L.
Amazing views, inside the boat was nice and warm, and the drink selection was good (the hot mulled wine in particular, if you’re a fan.) The only reason it’s 4 not 5 stars is because the drinks come in plastic cups rather than glasses. A small thing, but the photo in the advertisement shows you get glasses.
Guillermo
The acoustics was fantastic and the music is just awesome.
Alessia C.
It was one of the coolest events in Budapest. The pier is easy to find, and everything happens quickly and with a very short waiting time. The staff is very friendly and professional. It's a pity to miss the opportunity to get this experience.
Olivia
At first we thought we wouldn't all fit on the boat because it was so full. We couldn't sit upstairs, but we could sit downstairs at the table, where the chairs were much better anyway. Also, we could rotate the chairs and you could open the windows downstairs so you could see everything great. It was an absolutely beautiful ride and the time (9pm) was perfect.
Ricardo
This activity is a must for lovers of architecture, history and classical music. It was a great concert, with an amazing group of artists and in a small, beautiful church with good accoustics. There is nothing better than sitting in such a setting listening to woderful musicians playing classical music. Thoroughly relaxing and enjoyable.
Valeria
I loved!!! We had a great time! The experience is like being on a titanic haha
Marilyn
The concert was absolutely beautiful! This was my 2nd time attending this concert in Budapest & remains a FAVE. The musicians are exceptional & the acoustics in St. Michael’s are tremendous. I highly recommend this event when visiting Budapest!
IRYNA S.
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
Deák D.
Budapest at night was impressively beautiful, the great buildings and bridges with lighting were an experience.
Olga K.
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
Diana
Awesome concert, a great musical experience on Vaci utca!
Kirsty
So wonderful to hear live classical music in such a beautiful setting.
Francis R.
It was interesting experience. You can enjoy Budapest at night. Beautiful view. There is live band and entertainment. I really enjoyed that. Our server Valentin was very polite and helpful. Great atmosphere. It is two hours cruise with dinner buffet. The food was ok. Definitely worth it.
Helena Þ.
The sightseeing cruise itself was OK. However it was unnecessary to wait in a huge queue in a sidewalk just beside a street with very high car traffic. Everyone in the queue already had a ticket. Why not allow people get on board and wait for departure inside the boat?
Camille L.
