Chinmaie
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.
G D.
the upper open deck was so crowded you could not even sit up from your seat. All the other was great.
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
Vászoly B.
Lovely cruise seeing the city by night, it felt very special despite there being a large number of people. Only downside was that the tannoy system was not very loud so heard nothing of what was being said
Diana
Awesome concert, a great musical experience on Vaci utca!
Suravneva P.
The tour is excellent, I recommend)
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

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.
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.
Valeria
I loved!!! We had a great time! The experience is like being on a titanic haha
Diego B.
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.
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.
Zachary B.
It was on time and enough seating for everyone on board. The information was provided on over head tv screens which was useful since we did not have earphones to listen to the App version of the commentary. It was relaxing and the use of the on board bar was great.
Guillermo
The acoustics was fantastic and the music is just awesome.
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!
Kirsty
So wonderful to hear live classical music in such a beautiful setting.

Budapest at night was impressively beautiful, the great buildings and bridges with lighting were an experience.

Wonderful time during the cruise. Great views especially during the night time! I highly recommend it:-)

I liked it but there were not too many places upstairs and a part of the boat was half covered from the sides.
