Customer reviews of «Live Music Cruises» tours in Budapest

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

All was wonderful. The band, the food and the beautiful night lights and scenery of Budapest!!!

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

A lovely evening overall. Would totally recommend the dinner cruise

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

The cruise was lovely and the food not too bad. I’d read some bad reviews about this cruise, the service, and the food but to be honest, I was quite happy with all of it. Entertainment was great too, very talented musicians., If possible I would probably pay extra next time to be sure to get a table near the windows. Also, in the summer, I would do the later cruise to get better photos of the lights. meeting point information could be a more detailed. I would recommend this cruise.

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.

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

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

Easy to find meeting point through the app. Outside the building there is a sign indicating the meeting point. I went in and they gave me tickets for the tour. At 3.30 pm our guide arrives and accompanies us to the pier for departure. A beautiful 1 and a half hour tour that reaches the last bridge. Suggestive is to see that from the light of day, the buildings and bridges around 4.30 pm begin to light up giving a breathtaking sight. The speaker explains only in English. There is bar service available. I highly recommend booking this visit which has excellent value for money. With other tours I would have spent 20 euros per person.

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.

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

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.

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.

It was nice to see Budapest from the danube, but the tour was bit slow

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

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€.

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

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!

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

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!

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

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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 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.

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

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

The walk from the meeting point was around 10 minutes, we walked on the riverbank, which was beautiful in the evening. During the dinner we tried all the hungarian specialities like gulas, it was really fine, and I can recommend to join this cruise. At the end the staff was really helpfull when we wasked them to order a cab.

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.

It was a cold night so we spent the time inside. We received the drink and there was nice music on board. We could not take pictures from the inside as there was a lot of reflection from the light. But you could go outside. We didn’t order food but this was available.

It was good, I booked the cruise without the restaurant and when I got there I was offered a free white wine, and they gave me a menu with cheap prices. I wanted to book the restaurant cruise but it coasts a lot more and you can find the same food on the cruise without the restaurant.

A first drink (Champaign-not good) and a coupon for a second one (beer/wine/soft drinks) were enough for the 1.5 hour of the cruise. Especially the beer was worthy to taste. The musicians that kept as company were very friendly. They knew at least one song from every place on earth to play when the come to your table. Unfortunately it was raining and we couldn't admire Danube from the Deck of the ship. Although the price was a bit high for what was included it was a nice experience.

The most unexpected fabulous evening on our visit to Budapest. We were warmly welcomed onto the boat by the crew and offered a welcome glass of champagne. The cruise shows you some fantastic sights of the city lit up at night. Undoubtedly though the live music onboard is the best part. It created such a fantastic ambiance. Drinks can be purchased at reasonable prices too - £13 for a bottle of Hungarian Champagne! A fantastic couple of hours that was the highlight of our holiday.

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”.

Mine was the night cruise with just welcome drink @10PM. The whole programme was well organized and I see few reviews saying that there's not enough space (two dining areas and a top deck) or not more than one drink provided for free. Well, it depends on how much you pay. It's clearly mentioned while booking. Moreover, it's not a "long" walk, around 500-600m only. Overall, it was a superb experience! Keep up the good work :)

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.

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

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!

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.

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 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.

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

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

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.

Good tour. A little out of town - so a walk. But great to see the city at night and also very generous on constantly refilling the fizzy wine (don’t expect high end fizz - but nice enough in quantity). The boat was full so turn up 20 /30 mins early to ensure you get a good seat with a view.

super fun night!! the prosecco was also rly good and didn’t taste cheap:)

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!

Such a fun experience! They never let your glass get empty! Highly recommend!

We went on this trip at 20:30 and it was awesome to see the city lit up at night. The boat was a good size and we managed to get a seat on the upper deck outside which was perfect. Staff were attentive and made sure your glass was always topped up with Prosecco. Well worth 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!

This was a really fun activity. The boat was easy to find and it was all organised well. Friendly staff greeted you on board with a poured glass of Prosecco and the hosts were extremely attentive, our glasses were never empty! We took the 8pm cruise and it was perfect for evening sun on the way out and setting on the way back with the buildings all lit up beautifully. I would definitely recommend as great value for money.

Belle ballade sur le Danube Attention les lumières de la ville s'éteignent à 22h pour une croisière qui se termine à 22h15. Proscecco illimité ! Les serveurs vous servent tout au lond de l événement Bonne ambiance mais musique un peu forte et beaucoup de bruit car beaucoup de jeunes qui viennent faire un peu leur avant sortie

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 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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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.

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 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
