Camila L.
Beautiful experience, the food is good and the view is absolutely unmissable. The atmosphere on board the ship is also very nice.
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
Claire
The whole ambience, the service and the food were all great.
Nika
it was very nice, the food was delicious and the show was amazing!

WE LIKED:The Riverboat, very nice, very clean. The staff also very polite. The live music was excellent. The musicians sell their CD for 15 euros (5000 fiorints). The view to the Danube is amazing!
Victoruya G.
Thank you very much for a nice trip down the Danube with delicious dinner and great music against the backdrop of wonderful Budapest!
Maria
We were glad we booked window seats. This meant we were on the upper deck in a smaller room. The music was ok - but too loud. A piano player would have been enough. Most of the time we couldn't talk.
Skye B.
Dinner was nothing special. View of the city at night was spectacular, but same could be seen from the river walk.
Bács S.
We (my wife and 2 children) found this to be a nice boat trip for the money. Relatively limited seating room on the open deck part of the boat. The commentary was recorded and disjointed at times. Quite a few of the passengers were on the lunch option (lower deck) or ordered drinks and snacks on our (upper) deck. If you don't want a lengthy cruise and you're content to just look out of the window and enjoy the view then it's great. Very relaxed experience.
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
Lengyel K.
Views were spectacular once you got out on deck after the food. Food was very good. Up there with the best of buffet food. We were asked to arrive 30 mins before. Stood in a queue as boarding didn't begin until 10 mins before departure. A minor irritation. Music was not really my thing. Others seemed to enjoy it. Some a bit too much.
Martina
It was nice to see Budapest from the danube, but the tour was bit slow
Boros D.
Nice musical dinner cruise in head to head (advice: if you want a table of 2, arrive early). Hungarian buffet with soup and main dishes and dessert (advice: go there from the start otherwise it's a queue!). Musicians bring a nice touch and on demand they move to play everything! spectacle of the monuments of Budapest illuminated and you can go on the bridge at mealtimes to contemplate them. To recommend.
Fazekas Z.
Superb cruise, 90 min allows you to fully enjoy the Danube and the different landscapes! Possibility to have a drink during the cruise and the prices are very correct. I highly recommend because the cruise is well worth the 8€ unlike some at more than 20€.
Fehér D.
A brilliant experience, lovely food alongside beautiful views and wonderful music. Would definitely do this again!

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
Lisette L.
It is worth doing the walk x the Danube at night, you have a super nice view.
Eva
Doesn‘t have a narrated guide, its good for those who want nice views but no annoying guide.
Felix
It was a magical evening for us. The ship was very spacious and sparkling clean. The reception at the entrance was professional, friendly and rounded off with a glass of ""welcome champagne"". The food at the self-service buffet was really excellent (the finest goulash soup, tender meat with spaetzle and apple and quark strudel for dessert. Nothing to complain about fork. The trip on the Danube took almost 2 hours and gave insights into the most beautiful illuminated buildings. We were accompanied musically by a really excellent Hungarian music trio with noticeable conservatory training. We really liked it. We'd love to do it again.
