Reviews
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.
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.
Sean P.
It was a really enjoyable time, but we only saw the Hungarian parliament over the whole 2hs
MĂ©szĂĄros L.
Amazing views, inside the boat was nice and warm, and the drink selection was good (the hot mulled wine in particular, if youâre a fan.) The only reason itâs 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.
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.
Kozma L.
Very good. We have seen the entire city illuminated. Some beautiful views.
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 itâs value for money. I would do it again and recommend it.
Valeria
I loved!!! We had a great time! The experience is like being on a titanic haha
Diana
Very good. Nice musicians, very attentive, friendly and very professional. We had a great time with them.
David A.
The cabin was spacious and very clean. I felt the balcony was excellent value and actually spent time on it.
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.
Kate
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.
VĂĄszoly 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
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
William
Great evening cruise the sights are fantastic, excellent value, the only thing to make it better would be commentary about what buildings we go past with a bit of there history
DeĂĄk D.
Budapest at night was impressively beautiful, the great buildings and bridges with lighting were an experience.
Yves L.
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 doâs 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
LukĂĄcs B.
Everything has gone very well from the reservation to the activity, recommended
Helena Ă.
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?
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.
