Customer reviews of «Live Music Cruises» tours in Budapest

That a perfect fair for this money! We had live music with dances of profesional dancers. Ship is big and you can outside to enjoy the view. Other than this you have your table when you can enjoy the bar drinks and food. Really, for this price is PERFECT!

We liked a lot this activity. It is a good value for money. The only thing need to be noticed by the managers is the quality of the music. The playlist is comsited of many different types of music, pop, then rock, then 80's soft music, then again pop, it kind drives you crazy and i think it downgrades the overall experience.

It is very worth it , and the food on board is not very expensive

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.

Csabi very good and efficient in his job, he accompanied us upstairs to enjoy the view and made us feel very good

Nice cruise, Csabi is the best and the view is amazing. Go for it, night light are beautiful, beer is good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Clear recommendation, as it is very good value for money. The actual tour did not start at 7:00 p.m., but only at 7:30 p.m., but covered all the sights in 1.5 hours, so there was ample opportunity to see the hotspots that were illuminated when dusk fell to photograph. At night, the already magnificent buildings appear even more magnificent. The drink prices on board are also moderate - I only paid €2.50 for a 0.5 l lager beer (= 990 HUF on 03.06.22). All in all a clear recommendation and gladly again at any time! PS: The online voucher was also the ticket for me, ie I didn't have to exchange it, as another participant wrote.

ride for those who want to rest. Not very informative, the sound of the recording is very low. But it fulfills its promise: it goes through the 6 bridges, explains about them, besides the main tourist attractions of the waterfront: castle, São Matias church, parliament, etc. Who will do the bus rides will not have much added.

Very good service as described, welcomed as it should be, we booked in advance, it's so much the better because we knew nothing about the crowds

Very interesting cruise and with a cost well below others .. we were told that we would have a guide in English, but there was no guide to explain what we saw! Just a girl who came to us from the meeting point on the ship.

Nice experience except that the long wait to frost for technical failure

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€.

Unfortunately, there were a few people sitting at the next table who were very loud and made it difficult to enjoy the great music. From the half it was really great. There were just no comments on the piano game as described. But it's worth it just for the view and the great lighting of the buildings. And also the food was very tasty and the staff and the musicians were great.

The cruise was excellent with great views! The only downside is that you have to get a good seat to have the best view. Drinks inside were not overpriced and the parlement building was worth every penny. Overall a great activity! Don't forget to look up the places yourself before the trip to get a better understanding, and be there early to get the best views!

Great dinner, views, and entertainment. We bought the 3 course with window seat package. Thought we would perhaps buy the drink package as well, but al la cart pricing for drinks was better selection and very affordable. All seats were by the window so didn't need to purchase that upgrade (two rows of tables all by the window). The duck confit was amazing! Loved the pianists and singer. Lovely romantic river cruise, would highly recommend!

We had a good evening on this river cruise. The service was attentive and friendly. The view of Budapest is lovely - I imagine it's better in the summer with longer day light hours and better visibility. The pianists and the singers were entertaining, providing gentle background music. The food wasn't exceptional, don't expect fine dining, but nevertheless tasty.

wonderful music and view, food ok, service ok. We paid 30 extra euros to have a table by the window but in the piano Battle room all tables are by the window so we were really upset about this. Also, people who book a 2 courses dinner are served food only after 6 courses people have finished their first two courses, which means you can get really hangry.

First a perfect sunset, then dusk and later the lights of the magnificent buildings on both sides of the Danube. Our (first) stay in Budapest could not have started better! If you book the piano battle, you sit in the upper, smaller dining room of the ship, where there are only two rows of tables. Each table is therefore right next to the window, which can be opened. We liked the music (pop music) and the two pianists played very well. The three-course menu, which offered the option of choosing between different dishes, also tasted good. We didn't book the drinks as all "inclusive", but paid for them individually, which was the cheaper option for us. The staff were all very nice. We spent three pleasant, entertaining and well-organized hours on this boat trip.

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!

I took one star off for the coordination. We were not on the list, which caused some issues. Besides that, this is a definite recommendation if you have time. Budapest at night on the river is beautiful!!! We got the drink option which they did bring us through out the cruise

Superb evening! I recommend Admiring the city at night, a wonderful memory

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

It is worth doing the walk x the Danube at night, you have a super nice view.

I confirm as already read in other comments that the tables are all on the window so it doesn't make sense to spend more to have that type of service, as far as unlimited drinking is concerned, the same is not worth it, cash that the 3 of us spent €33 on more on site for 2 waters, 2 Cokes, 1 lemonade and 1 bottle of wine. Beautiful experience all very good and the city is a dream, obviously the boat goes back and forth in these 3 hours as the main attractions to see from the river are concentrated there

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.

Beautiful experience, delicious food and excellent musicians, wonderful view, I recommend the 7pm time slot.

Fantastic experience, cruise on the Danube in the evening an incredible show. Excellent food and exceptional hospitality. Incredible atmosphere thanks also to the live music. Highly recommended. PS: We took the cruise with the extra window table, it was worth it

It was a 3 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.

Loved every second! The atmosphere was great, the tables were lovely, the food was absolutely fresh, tasty and plentiful and the musicians entertained in every genre with great repertoire. Thank you, we loved it

The boat was a bit hard to find. The food was only ok. I found myself spending most of the time outside looking at the view than eating.

We enjoyed this evening, the food was excellent, the staff friendly. The view of the city from the magnificent river.

The entertainment was just impeccable. We had such a fun night. The Champaigne Strings were amazing

great food and view's, didn't get the free wine with the meal though, there's quite a lot going on at the start of the trip, trying to get feed etc and take in the view's. Budapest lit up at night is beautiful. the boat handily retraces its first part of the route towards the end so you don't have to worry about what you missed at the start..

"Everything was fine, and the food, and the drinks, and the staff. I really liked the dessert.Of course, the walk itself, the views are just great."

A brilliant experience, lovely food alongside beautiful views and wonderful music. Would definitely do this again!

The only thing I would improve on food and would not do self-service

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!

Beautiful experience, the food is good and the view is absolutely unmissable. The atmosphere on board the ship is also very nice.

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.

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.

It was a pleasant experience, the show very nice, the food rich and the attention of the staff very nice experience thank you

Cool atmosphere of an old imperial-era ship with professional / perfect workmanship / classical music and the charm of historic architecture You won't leave hungry either. If you do not have a better idea, you will be satisfied. Minus - no information about what you see and what you are swimming around!

This was a fun date night activity. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating. The food is buffet style and just okay but the performance is great and the city is beautiful at night. Definitely would recommend

it was very nice, the food was delicious and the show was amazing!

The boat was lovely and we were greeted with a welcome drink and a second drink for our meal. However the food staff (2 lads) were very unfriendly and rude. A large serving spoon fell on the floor and I picked it up to give to one of the lads who before I finished trying to explain it had fallen on the floor declared " No speak English " whilst not even looking at me ! Upon finally looking at me he realised what I was trying to show and took the spoon. The same lad up In collecting our finished meal plates simply said " finished? " And nodded his head at our plates! The food was tasty but cold which was a real shame. However the views were great which, whilst no guide is provided, a simple map showing the highlights would have helped. Especially for passengers who had arrived that day . We knew most of the sights as we had been in the city a few days. Overall , good little trip but needs small improvements.

It was my first time cruise and I was immerssed with the music and the dance. It will be better if we able to book the 7pm Cruise. Sadly it was full booked.

The walk along the Danube is a beautiful experience that gives value to your visit to Budapest. We were played by an exceptional musical team that made the experience very pleasant.

We went for the cheaper option which excluded the food, so I cannot comment on that aspect but the live music was exceptional. What a fabulous violinist! Fun and familiar tunes played, so your toes will be tapping along. The boat is quite lovely. Clean, attentive staff, good drinks, immaculate toilet facilities and a lovely large open deck on top so passengers can get those fantastic nightime shots of the city at its best. Happy to highly recommend.

We spent 5 days in Bdapest, and the night time cruise on the Danube was one of the best experience, the city was beautiful, the music was fantastic, and the meals were tasty. During the whole night was kind and active although it was after 11p.m. at the end. Thank you for the fantastic night!

We bought a boat with drinks and live music, and the experience was amazing, we like it.

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!

Fabulous evening cruise on the Danube.Chance to see the sunset and then see all the main buildings and bridgrs lit up,it's beautiful. Great musicians play at each table and there are dancers on the deck where meals are eaten. Good choice of drinks,we had 3 free beers with our ticket. It was also a 2hr cruise which is longer than most. Highly recommended .

A really lovely way to see Budapest. The music a nice accompaniment. Drinks were very reasonably priced. We didn’t bother with food. Had a great night.

Budapest bei Nacht zu sehen, war ein Erlebnis. Alle Sehenswürdigkeiten toll in warmen Licht eingehüllt. Die Lokalität ansprechend, der Service freundlich und aufmerksam. Die musikalischen Akzente live und sehr schön. Alles in allem, eine gelungene Aktivität. Muss man gesehen haben!

The tour is great! We took the evening tour and enjoyed the buildings at night. There is an audio guide included in the price in many languages (Greek, too) which gives you very interesting information about the city, not the one you can find in any guide, but the details you have to search for. I would recommend you do the cruise at the beginning of your visit in Budapest so that you get to know the city. The staff is very friendly and the drinks offered make the one-hour cruise more enjoyable.

It was a great experience and a wonderful way to see the sights of Budapest lit up at night. We went for a drinks package, and it felt a little oversold and quite cramped in the room we were in. I’d pay more and book the meal next time, as the upper deck looked much nicer laid out. It was confusing whether the drinks package was table service or not as the waiter was missing most of the trip. Although when asked he did advise he would get drinks for the table. The live music was excellent, really entertaining. All in all, it was reasonably priced and a last minute excursion on our holiday which we really enjoyed, the sights from the river are beautiful in the evening and there was lots of room on the viewing deck. Would recommend!

Such a nice view of the parliament by night. Definitely recommend to take a boat tour.

This River Dinner Cruise turned out to be better than we'd expected first was the greeting from the staff very welcoming, after that the whole evening was perfect service, live music, food, Seating, spaced out very thoughtfully. I cannot recommend this particular trip more highly.

We loved the candlelight dinner. The view was magnificent. Food delicious and attentive, courteous staff. Highly recommended!

This cruise is a must when you visit Budapest ! The atmosphere is romantic and warm, due to the live music and the warm heat inside the boat. The food is delicious and the scenery is beautiful. The duration of the cruise is just right and the staff are attentive and friendly. Definitely recommend!

Had a lovely experience on this candlelight dinner cruise with live music and a complimentary drink on arrival . The hosts and everyone was really nice and helpful. The food was a 10 and the view was magical , the night was made even more special when they acknowledged that we were celebrating a birthday and had a special display for us. The tour hosts even waited for us when we arrived a little late at the meeting up venue .

It was a romantic experience on a open boat. To see the shores of Budapest while the son was going slowwwly going down and the city get lit up was truly magical. There were choices in the menu and the food was of very high quality. Overall a very excellent 3 hours spent.

It was a good experience. We arrived at the right time. There were 2 tables by the windows and we were sat in the middle row so I asked if we could move to a window seat but the waitress said there are more people to come. The booking didn’t really specify if window view needed to be pre booked so I don’t think it is not having a window seat was justified with the answer we got. I was a bit disappointed because of this so put a bit of a downer on the experience. The food and the rest of the service was great though. Nice selection of food and the bottle of wine we ordered was lovely

Just amazing. The boat and setting was fantastic and a great way to see budapest by night. The parliament building is stunning at night. But the best part was the best food we had eaten for quite a while. Fine dining quality. Sit nearer the bar as we were as I can imagine the live music might be a little loud nearer to them.

The boat trip and the food were very good. Romantic and well arranged. Only downside was the bill where they apparently counted with 2x a glass of wine because I would have received 2dl. No further discussion. But I didn't think it was very neat if I just ask for a glass of wine.

Really enjoyed the evening. Good mix of age on board made for a good atmosphere. The music was relatively loud for a cruise ( but nowhere near nightclub loud). Crew very attentive with prosecco. Always there to refill but also recognising where people were drinking more slowly and didn't want constant refills.

We absolutely loved this cruise. The boat set off just as it got dark and the lights of Budapest come on. You may have seen the sights while walking around the city but from the river you get a completely different perspective. They were very generous with the prosecco, constantly topping us up and there was also a self-serve option. There was just enough commentary between music to explain what you were looking at and overall it was a fantastic experience.

It was really great value for money! The boat was really nice and modern, both in the outdoor and indoor seating area. The crew was excellent and made sure we got to enjoy the free prosecco by filling up our glasses regularly. Overall a great experience and a really nice way to see the city and the a lot of the popular sights!

Excellent service, excellent organization. It's definitely worth it.

I didn't have a lot of free time in Budapest . It was a perfect way to relax after a day of walking around the city. I chose the 5pm cruise so I could see the sights in the day and nighttime. The colors in the sky at sunset were beautiful. The prosecco was a bit sweet for my taste but it was unlimited and there were other things to drink. I also liked the snack plate.

I was pleasantly surprised-it's a beautiful and pleasant boat, there's nothing wrong with it. The waiters made sure that you always had a full glass. And the views are amazing! There is an English speech that tells something, but it was not heard much, and we did not pay attention to it

This is a must do in Budapest! One of our favourite things so far in this beautiful city. Beyond value for money, friendly staff. I would recommend looking up time of sunset and planning your time around this. We went in June at 8pm and saw the sights in daylight on way down river, cruised back up during sunset and got to see the Buda Castle and Parliament light up in darkness all on the one 1.5 hour cruise, simply amazing!

A lovely evening out, nice music and wine (topped up regularly!) - great sights and could pop out to get a better pic - not through the window. Great value for money. We didn't have the platter, just went for a meal afterwards.

1st impression is music. Perfect music for the cruise trip. Champagne and waitress was amazing. However, only 1 thing, if you improve, will be much better. Greeting when people are getting into the boat, must be smile and cheerful. I love it.

We had a beautiful cruise on the Danube, we braved the cold and went straight to the top deck where we had the mist beautiful views of all the historical buildings and bridged, our guide explained their history over the speakers, beautiful music was played in between making the whole experience amazing, on top of that we had free freeflowing prosecco this trip is a must for everyone visiting Budapest

Me and my partner are visiting Budapest for a week. And I can say without a doubt that this night cruise is for sure one of the highlights of the trip. The vibe was amazing! There was nice music tables with amazing view! The unlimited champagne was very good! Went buy too fast the Only thing I could say that could improve is moving the big screen that was on the middle of the boat, it’s very bright and disturbing the view. Thank you so much

I took this tour two times. Saturday and Monday. Generally this is the best ting at this time of the day!!! Theese people are perfect! Only one suggestion. In mondays continue with the same number of waiters as Saturday due to the refilling was very very slow! I saw people taking bottles to serve themselves. Just imagine! Overall experience is EXCELLENT! THANK YOU!

We didn't go much. Stayed just on one place and was about the performance rather than the cruise itself. And I was there more about the cruise

It was such a perfect night and worth the money! I organised this on the night of my partners birthday, i let legenda know in hopes i could possible request a window table, little did i know they went beyond this and sung him happy birthday with a candle to blow out in his dessert too! Such a lovely suprise and really completed a beautiful evening! Extra drinks are so affordable and all the staff are lovely, the singers were amazing, thank you for an amazing trip!

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

I liked the tour, everything happened as it was stated. Music, buffet with national dishes. Of course, such excursions in Moscow require waiter service, and this is more convenient. But the buffet was announced initially and the dishes were agreed, so you should not expect miracles. We were seated by the window, although we did not pay extra for it. Service is good, everyone is friendly. I liked the musicians. As entertainment on a trip, I recommend.

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.

I loved!!! We had a great time! The experience is like being on a titanic haha

Loved the activity. Got a welcome prosecco on arrival and a cocktail. The boat cruise was amazing and saw amazing views of the city. I loved the decor and music. Only negative comments is we were sat in the centre and could hear both sides of the boat playing different music which was a bit overstimulating

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.

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.

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

It was a really enjoyable time, but we only saw the Hungarian parliament over the whole 2hs

A lovely evening cruising along the river with my family. I booked a welcome drink which was half a glass of Prosecco but aside from that, we all enjoyed it very much! The staff were all very friendly and the violinist was excellent. I was expecting folk dancing which would have added to our experience but we all enjoyed the couple of hours experiencing the boat.
