Lisette L.
It is worth doing the walk x the Danube at night, you have a super nice view.
Kocsis V.
The boat trip lasted two hours on the same route - this made it possible to have a more leisurely experience. It was also nice that the ride started at 7pm and then it soon got dusk and the lights of the city came into their own.
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.

We booked this cruise for our first night in Budapest and was not disappointed! It is the perfect way to see all of beautiful buildings/bridges. We selected the cocktail option and we’re very satisfied as they were delicious (strong too so a little tipsy by the end of the night!) There was some entertainment too which involved some traditional dancing, this was lovely to watch. Would definitely recommend this cruise, all the staff were also very helpful and friendly!
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.
Irene C.
We bought a boat with drinks and live music, and the experience was amazing, we like it.
Rita
Beautiful evening activity, truly special. As for the food, for an organized activity, the quality is quite good, good choice. Excellent service and everything super coordinated! Really quality experience.
Consuelo Á.
Our night cruise was superb! A calm, nice experience on the river Danube. We were lucky enough to enjoy the sunset as well. The staff was friendly and helpful. While we were waiting for the boarding one of the kind staff members (think his name was Chris) kept us informed and entertained as well. Very witty guy!
Skye B.
Dinner was nothing special. View of the city at night was spectacular, but same could be seen from the river walk.
Roy B.
It was alright for the price. Didn't expect a welcome drink and that was nice. Do arrive really early to snap up the window seats and it's important to scan the QR code on the table to download the audio guide. There's no announcement to do it so if you miss it out, you don't get any audio guide.
Ogner
The most beautiful boat. With space ahead to watch the trip whenever you wanted - but the actual entry (under all Budapest's differently lit bridges) was breathtaking. Perfect service in every way and absolutely good food. A really nice experience. I have been on several of these evening boat tours - and this was the best.
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.
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!
Olivia
It was a 2 hours cruise with food. The food that they served were delicious and very Hungarian. We didn't know the dishes name until we went to a restaurant the next day. Surprisingly even though they were serving the buffet style, it tastes better than the restaurant that we went. The live violin music was quite irritating maybe I didn't like classical music.
Mészáros K.
The cruise was very enjoyable and seeing the beautiful buildings on the Danube all lit up was breathtaking. Music was quite good and entertaining. Service was very good. The ship itself was pretty nice. Food was pretty mediocre but the glass if Champaign was a nice touch. Overall enjoyable.
Vászoly B.
We had a great time. The Show was fantastic. The singer has a beautiful voice and George is a fantastic player as his piano partner. The food could be slightly improved on the taste. Wine selection included in the package was good and the service was very good. Our waiters were very kind. I would do it again!
Ludmila K.
Everything was great it was great
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.

You get what you pay for. A nice round on the Danube with some food and live music. It was all okay but not that you think wow. The dock where the boat was docked was fairly hard to find. When we arrived, we immediately received a welcome drink and a nice table. There was already a buffet ready and a number of people already tried to serve, but it was only intended to start eating after sailing. I understand the mistake because there was quite a lack of information. We already doubted whether we were at the right boat once we arrived only our name was checked and not the ticket then everything was apparently fine because then we got a glass of champagne and we were escorted to the table we only received an instruction about the drinks . And then suddenly we sailed and the lids of the ''buffet'' were opened. The choice was not huge. There was a choice of 1 soup, 2 Hungarian dishes, bread and a Hungarian cake for dessert.
Kende T.
The night cruise is very interesting. Budapest at night looks wonderful from the perspective of the ship. Unfortunately the music is not heard on the terrace.
Eva
Doesn‘t have a narrated guide, its good for those who want nice views but no annoying guide.
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
