Customer reviews of «Live Music Cruises in Budapest» tours in Budapest

Really worth seeing Budapest at night and the trip was lovely. 2 free drinks and the option to buy more for a cheap price. My only criticism is the room where the live folk music we had booked to see was in a room downstairs with bright lights so you could hardly see the river views. We quickly went out on the deck, as did pretty much everyone, but felt bad for the musicians as they were left performing to about 4 people.

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.

Fantastic evening spent on the river cruise. Greeted with champagne and amazing Hungarian trio band who interacted with the crowd. Loved every minute of it and would 100% recommend, especially to do the river cruise at night, stunning views of Budapest

They welcomed us with a warm smile and a welcome glass of prosecco. Live music and typical Hungarian dances on board. We didn't have the buffet option, but you can still order food and drinks on board at a low price. We ordered the goulash, which was very good. The cruise ends at the starting point.

We bought a boat with show and drinks and the experience was amazing , we love it.

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.

I booked the trip on the Danube for my daughter’s ‘hen’ treat with her sisters, friends and myself. The crew were so courteous and welcoming. The complementary drinks were very thoughtful and much appreciated. The actual cruise on the river was calming and absolutely magnificent, especially in the evening with all the buildings and surrounding area lit up beautifully. My daughter, as well as all of us ladies, have a amazing and fantastic memory to remember and hang on to, forever. Thank you so much! Xxx❤️

Amazing night, beautiful scenery and attentive staff great cocktails

We liked everything. What could be improved: better identification of where to catch the boat. And make it clear that it's just a glass of sparkling wine or a small glass of orange juice. It’s not “with drinks”.

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.

Reallyyy good value for money and was so easy to book and find on this website. The boat was really posh and had so many levels to it. It was raining hard on the night we went in Budapest but we still wanted to go and sit on the outside. We then discovered that there’s is an undercover hut outside but for better pictures you can go to the back or front where there isn’t a cover but is still seats on the deck. We then discover the very top of the boat which wasn’t covered but you could get lovely photos on. Whilst sitting outside we were pleasantly surprised that there was an audio aswell to tell you about the monuments we were going last (which you can’t hear inside). When we’d finished taking pics we then went inside to listen to the band and have a drink which was really reasonably priced. I have a cocktail for like £3.40. It was a 2 hours well spent.

A lovely way to see the city sights of the Danube at night with live Hungarian music and drinks. The atmosphere on the boat was great , staff very helpful, and the live music made it fun! Even though it rained and it was quite misty, we could still see a lot of the important buildings from the river; and when the parliament building was lit up that made it more special! The extra drinks that we bought on board were fantastic value.

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.

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.

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!

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

Really recommend this! We went for the Piano-show which is on a separate deck of the boat. No need to pay the extra money for a window table as all tables are window tables on the upper deck. Menu options were good - the salmon was over salted, but the rest perfect. Great views - have the camera ready!

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!

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!

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

The boat trip was nice, highlighted by the fact they stopped for as we were running a few minutes late. Service was good, the lady singing had an amazing voice and if you like piano tunes, you'll enjoy. We had the unlimited drinks, includes house wine (which was btw pretty good!), beer, softdrinks. Views along the river are spectacular, of course. We'd recommend.

The cruise was lovely and the staff was friendly and accommodating to my requests. I would recommend the cruise for a lovely evening out with fantastic views of a beautiful city with fabulous ambience.

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

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.

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

A lovely evening overall. Would totally recommend the dinner cruise

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

Dinner was nothing special. View of the city at night was spectacular, but same could be seen from the river walk. 200+$ is way too much.

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.

Lovely boat that had an old fashioned feel about it . Food was good & drinks were decent . The folk band played a good selection of songs . Only downside was our waitress for the evening never showed up after the first 10 minutes . Would do it again next time we visit

"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."

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..

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.

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

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.

Very good to get wasted in a very short time. Staff was friendly and refilling quickly. When it is dark and foggy you will not see any sights. But that is not important anyway. 11/10 would do it again

It was very cool and I really like the boat. Very clean and very nice lighting. Bottomless Prosecco. 1.5hr cruise is amazing, very nice view. I recommend do it in summer or autumn, because winter is quite cold.

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

We was supposed to get there 15 mins early! But our taxis kept cancelling! We got to the entrance at 7:02 unsure if we would be able too attend this. However we was greeted with a big smile and asked to see our passes! Followed by 2 glasses of champagne! Which was constantly topped up! Never empty!

A great way to see Budapest! Fantastic Boat, good service and lots of bubbles.

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

We really enjoyed the boat trip, they kept refilling the Prosecco at all times, also the view was beautiful and a smooth ride on the Danube. The only downside was that on the deck you could not hear the guide or music.

My friend, boyfriend and I used this as a kick-start to our Budapest trip. After a day of walking tours and exploring the city, we hopped onto this boat and had a very happy amount of drinks! We booked the 7pm and the only thing we would do differently in hindsight is maybe book the later one, just better for our drinking preference.

Fun little cruise in the dreamy lights of Budapest. Definitely recommend for the experience. Prosecco never stops and reality never kicks in.

Great value for money, prosecco was definitely unlimited and hosts were really friendly. Just the right of information about what buildings we could see and their history. Make sure you book a taxi home after as the ones waiting are classed as private and will be very expensive!

Everything was incredible, there was much space for everyone and the waiters would refill your glass immediately. As I'm getting acne treatment, I wasn't able to drink, but it also had lemonade and water, which were a plus if you're not one to drink. Def worth it, book it at night times for the city lights :)

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.

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.

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.

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€.

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

Doesn‘t have a narrated guide, its good for those who want nice views but no annoying guide.

Fantastic view to the mail city attractions at sunset and night, more than 2 hours on water

I use your service for the first time. I liked the price, the same tickets are sold twice as expensive at the pier. We were afraid not to find the place of departure and explain that we have an electronic ticket, because everything is very bad with English, and I had no connection , I took a screenshot of the destination, it contains the berth number and the carrier's company, the most important thing of course is to screen the CODE, everything went well, they approached the pier there are large signs with the berth number or a letter, we had BERTH number 3, next to the monument to shoes , the route is also in the application, if you look closely. we arrived early 40 minutes before departure, we started launching 15 minutes before departure, it’s better to come up like this if you want to take places on an open holly, the waiter at the entrance reads your code from the phone and everything;) we bought without champagne) for beautiful photos, buy a ticket with it;) or you can buy at

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

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!

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

A bit awkward at first, as you first have to exchange the voucher for tickets in the office in the city, then you go to the boat with a guide and then crowd around the next boat with a hundred other guests. The table is then assigned to you. The explanations in English via loudspeakers are also difficult to understand, since it is quite noisy inside due to the bar operation etc. Nevertheless it is a very good offer for the price, you can see a lot of the city, the journey takes 90 minutes, the drink prices on board are ok and there is space at the round tables, the toilets were also ok. You could also go to the outside deck at any time to take photos.

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

it was really not worth the money. we bought a ticket 50eur for the kid and there waa nothing that she could eat. even for us there was no variety. out of 6 dishes almost all were vegetables

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

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

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.

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!

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!

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.

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

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.

Very good. Nice musicians, very attentive, friendly and very professional. We had a great time with them.

The best activity I have done in Budapest!! The incredible price includes a glass of champagne and three musicians play Valls during dinner, there are two dancers who take photos with you after the show and the musicians go table by table playing the songs that each table wants to hear, they are charming. A true luxury that must be done yes or yes!!! Plus the boat is beautiful, it's worth it. Of course, the food is not worth it but the activity must be experienced!!! We loved it

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.

2 hours seemed a bit long for the trip. The live music was nice and cheerful. There should be some hot beverage serving in the cold months preferably some tea or coffee.

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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 .

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!

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

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.

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.

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