Customer reviews of «Lunch Cruises» tours in Budapest

Budapest is a beautiful city to see day and night, and we really enjoyed our dinner cruise. They met us when we boarded and sat us down at our table with a glass of champagne when we arrived. Magnificent views of the parliament, the chain bridge and other attractions.

The cruise was very good! Service was excellent, staff were really nice and very accommodating especially Salwa who went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time! Highly recommend the unlimited booze cruise. Note, spirits and shots are not included in the free drinks but the dry white wine is fabulous!

A must experience while visiting Budapest. Cruising the Danube at night with unlimited drinks was incredible. The views from the boat are spectacular. I highly recommend booking this experience.

Cruise was fun. Unlimited drinks. The music though was way too loud!

Unlimited music and drinks for a nocturnal river trip of more than 70 minutes without explanation, which is good to know. The monuments are splendid at night.

We really enjoyed our time on the unlimited drinks tour. Staff were very friendly and upbeat. Good value for money

Beautiful experience and great food! The welcome was great and the music made everything very suggestive and romantic. The singer was great and Zoe, the waitress who served us, was professional and kind. This activity is highly recommended!

I would highly recommend this activity. The atmosphere is lovely, intimate and calming. The staff on board are wonderful with a lot of common sense and respect. Absolutely all the tables are by the window which means that it gives you the opportunity to observe all the important buildings of Budapest, Hungary.

Fantastic dinner! We ate really well, the waitresses were very kind and the atmosphere exceeded our expectations. The boat goes around the river several times during the two hours, so there are many opportunities to take pictures of the monuments and you can also go outside. I recommend dressing in layers because it is really hot inside.

The city is so beautiful at night, and the cruise was a great way to see it. Pianists were both talented, and there was a good singer as well. Food was okay, not great. Worth doing for the experience, but (not surprisingly) there is better food ashore!

Very relaxing evening, the selection of food and drinks is good and manageable. The piano interlude has a very special touch. The view is wonderful.

Nice course of dishes, spectacular views, accompanied by beautiful music

This was just great! Beautiful music - 2 piano players and lady singer and host, amazing views of night Budapest and tasty food

A wonderful evening on the river Danube. Good food, pleasant staff and the piano players and singer were absolutely superb.

All the employees were extremely friendly and helpful, especially the piano team and artists were very good. You should definitely attend such an event on the Danube River.

We enjoyed every part of it. The music was wonderful and the food was delightful. (The first appetizer was small though but still nice.

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.

Very nice with a very good atmosphere but the price for the unlimited drink is a little high for the quality of the drink and the quantities to only manage to make it profitable

It was a great experience, however I would have liked there to be better music. But over all it was a great experience for myself and my friends.

Music top, drinks service only with 1 bar, much room for improvement

Of course, the people you are there with and the weather have to be right. Both were a 10/10 for us and so the boat tour was absolutely awesome! I can only recommend the flat rate! The club visit was also awesome. All in all, a successful event that I would definitely recommend.

Despite having to wait a bit longer than expected the cruise didn’t disappoint. Great music, great staff, we had an amazing time. Also felt pretty safe because many staff members were around and there signs about consent and drinking all over! :))

A good formula to combine fun and Budapest (parliament) at night. The music should have been a bit more varied, the dancing and the open bar were a bit far away, probably on purpose ;) Overall, we were very pleased.

This is a great way to socialise and meet new people. We had so much fun we went twice!

I had read mixed reviews about this boat party so was a bit anxious but it was amazing! Luckily our boat didn’t feel too busy.. it was busy enough the dance floor was full and there were plenty of people but it took a few minutes to get a drink and go to the loo. We paid for the all inclusive package and it was definitely worth it! We were never without a drink. The boat moves slow so you hardly feel motion and up on the top is lovely still even with the music pumping.

The cruise was as expected, the boat was fine, good music and a good atmosphere, the space on the terrace is great. Just point out that it is not worth contracting with an open bar, it is more expensive and they have very little offer of drinks and all of inferior quality, also you can only order at a bar that is in the last corner of the ship, if you take the ticket with 2 drinks that are cheaper, you can order at any bar and much better quality drinks, I didn't like that and it seemed like a lot of scam...

it was so much fun! everything was included, like mentioned, also a wardrobe for your jackets. after the boat tour there was a party shuttlebus to a club. woult totally recommend this tour!

Great experience! A top atmosphere with good music and the staff is really nice and totally crazy! That's what's good !

The boat holds about 250 people in one event, it sounds a lot but when on board it’s really spread out. It has great music, secure cloak room for your belongings and nice toilets. We received a wrist band and our own bar but only spirit and mixer was available. I had booked with the understanding we could also receive cocktails.

A lovely evening overall. Would totally recommend the dinner cruise.

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.

Very nice moment, romantic decor, well-cooked and hearty meal, music that takes local or more jazzy standards, and above all, the spectacle of the banks of the Danube illuminated by the emblematic monuments of the city, Bridges, Parliament, Mathias Church, Castle. ..Not to be missed, good value for money.

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.

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

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.

100% recommend. We purchased the round trip transfer from airport to hotel & return. Both drivers were professional, on-time & pleasant. Susanna who arranged timings & pick ups was excellent, very professional and pleasant to deal with, nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely use this company again.

Sudetrip is a brilliant concept. Travel between two cities and see the real countryside on the way. Adam our guide was tremendous, knowledgeable, friendly and very flexible with times and itinerary to make sure everyone fully enjoyed the trip. We just wish Sidetrip could offer more such tours. Well done!

We are really enjoyed this tour. Our guide was Clementina. (I hope I spell her name right). She was so kind and telling us a lot of stories about Venezia. Gondoliere was amazing! He rowed the gondola perfect! I highly recommend this tour!

Excellent service driver on top and on time it was Szilvia Blasko very friendly handled the request on TRIP and everything went well we receive messages via whatapp as soon as we arrived for the welcome

Suzanne arrived a couple minutes early, helped with the luggage, and delivered us promptly. She is very professional and exhibits a warm, engaging personality without being intrusive. The cost for her service was less than both a local taxi or Uber. The next time I am in Budapest, she will be the first person I call.

Yeah, good. Schedule respected. Photo of the car with the registration plate received the day before arrival at the airport

Initially I thought we wouldn’t be able to find a tour as direct sales and every operator had sold out for when we were free. Shuttles from Budapest were the only company who had tickets which was brilliant. The tour was amazing and the building beautiful. Instructions of where to meet were sent by WhatsApp and were very clear. I hadn’t realised that the river cruise was at night until Susana WhatsApp messaged apologised for the time of the parliament visit being brought forward. I said we couldn’t make it as we’d be at the airport and she was very kind and changed the river cruise to a day time one. We were lucky that when we came out of parliament there was a military procession for Botswana dignitaries which was an extra bonus. Thank you again Susana, highly recommended!

This is my first time in Budapest and the tour is perfect for knowing the city and learning its history. My guide Szofia is the best not only she is born and grows up here but she always has some story to tell you at each street/site/building/statue. It feels that the names, events, and stories are her own treasures. BTW, she knows every corner of the street and will get you to the right spot for photos. The tour includes lunch and boat trip. The Hungarian food is so good and I cannot even finish it! BTW, we ran into a very special military ceremony event at the Millennium park. Thank you Szofia for a very nice full day tour.

"We had a great tour with Susan. She took us to all the major memorials and gave us a great history lesson. We learned so much. Lunch was great and I would tell anyone I know to ask for her "

"All Good, good foods, nice hungarian dance & music good city view, will definitely come back, glad we all enjoyed!! "

Nora was a great guide. We were driven in a comfortable Mercedes Minivan. Also had a nice lunch and river cruise. Learned a lot about Bedapest.

George was great with the information and we saw many places and his English was fantastic. Very polite! I wish I had had him for the Vienna tour.

"Very vivacious passionate guide who was most concerned about our experience. Great job nice lunch with boat ride on river "

Thomas was very knowledgeable about the city and provided valuable historical information to us. He also planed the tour around traffic, parking locations, opening hours, best viewing spots..etc. so that we get to enjoy seeing the city in the most efficient and enjoyable way. Really appreciate his effort.

Our tour guide Szofia was excellent. She was very knowledgeable about the beautiful city of Budapest and took her time to explain all the history and interesting facts about each aspect of the tour. Lunch was included and although my daughter is both vegetarian and has a gluten free diet, her needs were met and confirmed during the booking process. I can highly recommend this tour.

Excellent trip with knowledgable guide . Viewed about of the important sites and good transport with car. Would recommend as great insider view of the Budapest.

Nóra Mathe is an exceptional tour guide who took us on a mesmerizing 7-hour private tour of Budapest, Hungary. Her knowledge, enthusiasm, and passion for the city shone through as she expertly navigated us through all the major attractions. Nóra's insights and engaging storytelling truly brought the city to life, making our experience unforgettable. Her professionalism and attentiveness to our preferences made the tour personalized and enjoyable. We highly recommend Nóra Mathe for an enriching and memorable exploration of Budapest!

Our family of 5 had a wonderful time on the tour. Our tour guide Nora was wonderful and very knowledgeable about the history and Buda and Pest and took time to explain all the sites. She even helped our daughter practice her Hungarian. Some of our favorite sites were Hero’s Square and the Castle in Buda. We had a delicious traditional Hungarian lunch and they accommodated for our gluten and nut allergies. Rounding out the tour was the cruise in the Danube which was incredible to see the sites from the river. We would definitely recommend this tour.

This is a great personalized tour. My guide Edith was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful in showing me the sights
