Customer reviews of «Night Cruises» tours in Budapest

An unforgettable experience. The cruise and the spectacular views. Although on the same cruise also traveled people who had hired only the trip, without dinner. They sat without consuming anything at the tables intended for travelers who had dinner included and we had to have dinner sitting on deck in chairs without a table, with the food resting on the knees.

Good cruise, plenty of beer, could use a bit more communication with passengers. They never mentioned once that the food was ready it is only because another feisty passenger asked that they handed over takeaway boxes of pizza. I do think that we could have got to the end of the cruise without it being given to us. Also they tried to tell us that dark and fruit beers were not included. So we just showed the description on here and they backed down. Overall the city makes the trip lovely to see it from a different angle.

We loved it. Friendly staff and the pizza was delicious too. Whether ready-made pizza or not, we've had worse at Italians. The drinks were also quickly taken care of. In addition, some party mood music which made everything super relaxed. When we saw the other rather stuffy-looking boat trips around us, we were sure that we had done everything right with this. We recommend it.

Great trip up and down the Danube to see the lit up buildings at night. Remember a jacket so you can sit outside as was particularly chilly even on a hot day

Great trip, unfortunately for me, my booking didn’t go through correctly, so no pizza. That was disappointing, however, the host looked after me on the beer front, and was very friendly. I was travelling alone, and wouldn’t have felt comfortable mingling fownstairs with the couples/groups, but instead chose to wrap up warm and enjoy the amazing views from the outside top deck. I would advise doing this on your first day in Budapest to help get your bearings for the rest of your trip.

We had a fantastic time! Food was super fast and the staff were fantastic

The staff were very friendly and helpful. A great way to see Budapest lit up in all it's glory from the river. The pizza was washed down with some really nice local beer. A shoutout to Antony & his partner from Sweden who we met on the cruise, hope you and my daughter Anna both enjoyed having happy birthday sung to you.

Nice fun activity. Very amazing to see the city at night with lighting. Could have been better with an open boat

A great company went on a cruise along the Danube with a sumptuous dinner and traditional Hungarian folklore dances. The food was excellent with four courses, including a welcome drink, soup and main course…

"I had booked the cruise on the day of my arrival in Budapest. Due to severe flight delay I missed the scheduled evening. The customer service solved the problem by not making me lose money or the tour, postponing the same to another evening. A very pleasant and relaxing cruise. Beautiful accompanying music and very kind crew. I highly recommend it. "

We made the night tour my family and I with the unlimited drinks and pizza package, I have to say that the pizza was not bad at all

Excellent relaxed cruise, see all the sights of Budapest along the river lit up at night..highly recommended

Myself and 2 other ladies did this cruise on the 26th of November. Was amazing to see all the beauty of Budapest from the river Danube. We sat on deck most of the trip and thoroughly enjoyed the 3 cocktails which was part of the trip. Crew was very helpful. Definitely recommend to go on this.

Was very fun, with the music and the cocktails. The ticket saved you a lot of waiting time

Great value for money, cocktails and cruise were good, great way to see some of the sites. We thought the cruise was going to be someone talking about the sites etc but this wasn’t the case and just had music playing in the background which wasn’t an issue for us.

Went at 5,00pm but already full of very drunk young men! So very noisy! But staff friendly and cocktails very nice. Was a fun 1.5 hours

Great views and a pleasant cruise. I didn't realise it was more of a ferry/barge type boat where there was no outdoor space which would have been nicer. You are also put into one seated area with access to the bar unlike passengers who didn't opt for thre drinks package.

The cocktail cruise is a lovely evening activity. It was very nice to be able to look at the old buildings with the great lighting at night. The cocktails all tasted really good! The service from Salwa and Adam was great. The two were very attentive and friendly. The bar employees Dia and Emese also did a great job. I would always recommend this tour! Price performance is top!

Cocktails were delicious and it was not saved. The journey started a little late so that only about 60 minutes remained, which is quite sporty with 3 cocktails. The route and the view were fantastic. The audio guide did not always match what was seen. All in all a nice ride and good value for money

Absolutely loved this cruise! We went for this one as we’re not big on Prosecco and it was 100% the tight choice. Great choice in cocktails and you get three for just over an hours trip which is perfect. Servers were amazing as well, Sara was so helpful and lovely. Can’t recommend this enough!

Nice event, the illuminated buildings are really worth seeing. The cocktails were delicious and were brought quickly. Unfortunately, the ship first drove towards Margarethen Island and then south, so that we could not see the illuminated parliament from the ship. (Departure in mid-April at 7:00 p.m.) So maybe choose a later date - if possible.

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

This was awesome! I think they even waited a few extra minutes to depart because we were running late. Great service, yummy drinks, and beautiful views. 10/10!

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.

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

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

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!

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

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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

Good price if you want to get a good overview of Budapest from the river. The audio was lagging a bit but overall it was a pleasant experience!

Lovely cruise seeing the city by night, it felt very special despite there being a large number of people. Only downside was that the tannoy system was not very loud so heard nothing of what was being said

Great value for money! A comfortable boat, the price includes a welcome drink (wine) or juice (a little too sweet 😅) and beautiful views, we especially recommend it at sunset!

The cabin was spacious and very clean. I felt the balcony was excellent value and actually spent time on it.

Great experience and hospitable service. You get a drink of your choice with the cruise ticket for a very affordable price.

Budapest at night was impressively beautiful, the great buildings and bridges with lighting were an experience.

Excellent trip on the Danube, boat was very clean and modern, staff were helpful and informative, the trip lasted 1hr and 10 mins, sailed past the parliament building which was all lit up, went as far Margrit Island and back down past Buda castle again all lit up. This was our 2nd time in Budapest and this is definitely the best way to see the best sites, and they are very spectacular when viewed from the river at night. I would recommend this trip to anyone visiting Budapest for the first time.

It is a cruise without audio guide, but it is the best value for the money. I recomend to take this tour after you check and see all the building by foot and to pay attention on the cruise on the mail buildings such as Parlament, Buda castle, Fishermans bastiona, Gelert Hill and the Citadela. Also, is is very beautifull to cruise under the main Budapest bridges such as Chain bridge, Elizabet bridge and the Margits bridge.

The boat trip was very cheap and for 70 mins I found this good value. There was loud music playing and a bar selling alcohol, cocktails, soft drinks, as well as pizza. I would recommend this trip, but NOT to families. The boat was full of groups of men and stag do’s who were loud and lively. I feel it would not be appropriate for a family trip. But it was a great ride and a way to see the sights

Great evening cruise the sights are fantastic, excellent value, the only thing to make it better would be commentary about what buildings we go past with a bit of there history

I liked it but there were not too many places upstairs and a part of the boat was half covered from the sides.

The sightseeing cruise itself was OK. However it was unnecessary to wait in a huge queue in a sidewalk just beside a street with very high car traffic. Everyone in the queue already had a ticket. Why not allow people get on board and wait for departure inside the boat?

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.

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!

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.

The boat is amazing, a old preserved one. But you can choose your place to sit, and the explanation was missing, and also the music if you are outside (if you didn't pay dinner).

We've been pick up on time by our friendly driver. We've been looked after since the beginning. 3x were included in the price. Food was abundant. Music is amazing. But our main priority was the overlooking sights of Budapest at night which we spent most of our time in the terrace. We were dropped off in the end in our apartment and had good time. The only negative would be sitting next to strangers on a round table for dinner if you are a reserved kind of person and wanted to enjoy own's company with friends/family.

There was a good bit of walking from the meeting point to the dock, so be prepared with comfortable shoes. It was well worth it, though. We sat up top to get an unobstructed view of the city. It was just beautiful. There were two drinks included, with choices of wine, Champaign, beer, and juice. Very nice way to enjoy the Budapest sights at night.

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!

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.

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.

Very nice, but I did not have a guide nor transportation to the pier. The boat was a nice boat. The pier is before the Parlament, so I could not see the parlament light up when we returned because the pier location. But all other buildings looked beautiful from the boat. Nice violin venue.

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.

Everything worked out perfectly. Again at any time. Thank you very much again.

one of the best river cruise ever. Everything was amazing: the boat, the service, the staff, the music. Really nice option, so, if you do not buy the buffet option, one can always buy food on boar that is delicious and very cheap. Also drinks are super cheap. It was my second time here, and always good.

I really enjoyed the walk along the Danube. A comfortable boat, from any point of which everything is perfectly visible around. Suitable for walking in any weather.

A great ship. The upper deck is very comfortable. The staff is responsive and suggests some life hacks

A great boat with a panoramic view: you want it on the street, you want it on the second floor (the observation windows move left/ right, you want it on the first floor, everything is clean

An excursion definitely worth doing if you are in Budapest, seeing the city lit up by the Dunube has its charm. A great experience at an affordable price.

Nice trip back and forth alongside Budapest shoreline. We had the option to land on Margarete island, have a walk there and then using the same ticket board on a following boat and sail back to the starting dock 7.

Brilliant little audio tour, comfy seats and free drinks. What more could you want? Excellent value for money!

Lovely hour & a bit on the Danube. Easy boarding and choice of seats.

It was great! Beautiful ship with plenty of space. We sat in the open part. Explanations via headphones, in many different languages to choose from. Duration of 70 minutes, ideal for children.

Seeing the beautiful Parliament building lit at night was stunning! Great commentary! Lovely sunny warm evening capped it all!

It was a nice experience. We had no problems. We watched with great pleasure the magnificent illumination of Budapest at night.

Great trip and good service. Nice with audio guide in many languages.

The windows would not open, so decent photos impossible. A television at the front of the cabin continuously showing images, too bright at night, a severe distraction.

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

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

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.

It was a wonderful experience on the Danube. A beautiful night, amazing sights and plenty of processco and a great cheese and meat platter. Well worth the money!

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!

Oh my goodness. Unlimited Prosecco is an understatement!! An absolute continuous flow would be more accurate. Definitely worth buying the Turkish bread and dips. Great fun however the commentary lacks the necessary information plus by the halfway mark, everyone is chatting so loudly that it’s difficult to hear. However, the music in between the commentary is awesome! Highly recommend!!!!!

interior of Ludwig boat was luxurious and prosecco was REALLY unlimited, every sip you took was refilled. Upper part of boat was nice too but the billboard really ruins the atmosphere there… buildings were unfortunately not lightened at 23:00 at Saturday so it was pitty. But cruise was perfect. I recommend. :)

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:)

The cruise was great, loads to see and hear about. The city was fabulous when it was all lit up as we went when it was dark. The prosecco was topped up all the time, they did not spare it!

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

Nice cruise on the Danube. We opted for the meal included option. The prosecco is really unlimited and the Hungarian plate is very good but a little light in quantity. If you take the 9 p.m. cruise, take your photos on the way out because the monuments go out at 10 p.m.

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.

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

The boat ride was great, some tech house was going on and the bartenders weren't shy about mixing 50:50. Would I visit again

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

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.

Perfect plan for a before with friends before ending the evening in a nightclub in Budapest! To do and redo !

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!

Beautiful experience that allows you to see Budapest from another perspective

It was a great evening, but don't expect too much party atmosphere because the music isn't loud enough in my opinion. Many are there to meet other people, but overall very nice.

Fantastic experience!! Definitely worth trying...nice atmosphere but the drinks definitely worth seeing again. It is definitely NOT worth buying the all you can drink package.

It was definitely wonderful to be among other tourists/travellers and conversations with them, the views of Budapest from the boat were also breathtaking, but on the other hand the music was quite old and boring, I mean what's a party without good music? The drinks were also quite light but hey free right, I guess for me the best part was just meeting new people, definitely recommend

The boat trip was excellent, and the fireworks on the Danube were nothing short of epic. Highly recommended the unlimited drinks option. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Loads of fun, really recommend! Non stop with refilling you up, other alternatives at bar. Great views, really recommend the 7pm slot for the sunset

Amazing evening river cruise. Great value for money and no shortage of Prosecco!!

Very good - Staff were very attentive with serving drinks. Only criticism was that we were sat at the bow of the boat and couldn’t hear the music/commentary very well. Also would’ve liked maybe more info on the places we were passing

Book it. We sat downstairs as it was cold but went upstairs for the parliament building, it was honestly magical. Very generous with the Prosecco, drink up! My husband liked the truffle pasta, I thought it was a bit meh. Big portion but felt luke warm. Can’t hear any of the commentary because there was a noisy crowd but honestly don’t need it. The inside of this place is fancy, book it, time flies.

Best activity in Budapest. The boat looked modern compared to some other Danube sightseeing tours and they kept the Prosecco coming at all times! Views of the parliament were stunning and the background music was nice. Only the infos on the buildings and sights were too quiet to understand.

Beautiful walk on the Danube, the city lights go out at 22 p.m. to embark on a cruise that ends at 22:15 p.m. Unlimited Prosecco! The waiters serve you throughout the event good atmosphere, but a little loud music and a lot of noise, because many young people come to rest a little before going out

Such an amazing experience! They're really punctual and everything starts on time. The view is amazing, do this if it's your first time in Budapest. For the price, the free flow prosecco definitely worth it. The staff will never leave your glasses empty until one moment I need to tell them to stop cause I think I had enough. The people are all fun such a nice way to network and meet new people.

Friendly staff, beautiful views, nice Prosecco. Lemonade is delicious!

I was surprised for good It's a nice and nice boat, nothing crappy. The waiters were aware that you always had a full glass. And the views are spectacular! There is a locution in English that is telling things but little was heard and we did not pay attention
