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.

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…

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

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.

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

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

"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

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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 one of the coolest events in Budapest. The pier is easy to find, and everything happens quickly and with a very short waiting time. The staff is very friendly and professional. It's a pity to miss the opportunity to get this experience.

Very good. We have seen the entire city illuminated. Some beautiful views.

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!

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

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

The cruise was very enjoyable and seeing the beautiful buildings on the Danube all lit up was breathtaking. Service was very good. The ship itself was pretty nice. Food was pretty mediocre. Overall enjoyable.

Quite a big boat, however alot smaller than some going up & down the Danube. Easy boarding, drink of Lemonade awaited us. Managed to get a seat upstairs to get the best views, went all the way up as far as Margaret Island & down to Gellert Baths. Great to see everything lit up. For the price you can't go wrong

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.

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

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.

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

Make sure to go on a day that isn’t a holiday so that the Parliament building is actually lit up.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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...

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

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

We did the boat trip with a JGA group. Tickets with drinks included are recommended, it's worth it! The view from the upper deck was perfect. Unfortunately, it took quite a long time until the mood on the boat was good, after that it was almost over again. It would be nice if the journey took longer than 2 hours. You can see a lot of Budapest and see the city from a different angle. Overall recommended, would definitely do it again.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.
