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 cruise started from around 10:10 PM. I reserverd one starting from 9:30 and expected to end by 11:00 PM. However most public transportation stopped running , the journey ended 11:45. except few number of night buses which stopped far from the spot. I liked live music and the players attitude.
This was a great introduction to the city for me. We met at the office (not far from St. Stephen's Basilica) at the appointed time and then walked together to the river. This added an additional 30 minutes or so to the departure time, which made an already late evening, even later. Just something to consider. The sun sets very late in the summer so if you want a night tour, it will have to be late anyway. The views were beautiful and the live music made for an enjoyable atmosphere.
The live music made this experience, it was a fantastic atmosphere, the band were excellent and we thoroughly the evening cruising the Danube and seeing the city from the water.
I booked the trip on the Danube for my daughter’s ‘hen’ treat with her sisters, friends and myself. The crew were so courteous and welcoming. The complementary drinks were very thoughtful and much appreciated. The actual cruise on the river was calming and absolutely magnificent, especially in the evening with all the buildings and surrounding area lit up beautifully. My daughter, as well as all of us ladies, have a amazing and fantastic memory to remember and hang on to, forever. Thank you so much! Xxx❤️
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.
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 one of those memorable evening cruises,excellent in views, people, setting and more. The best, I would say. I could get some of the Instagram worthy pictures too. The food and drinks were great along with music.
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.
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.
I was really disappointed by this evening which is a shame because all of the reviews were really good. I don’t enjoy massive boat trips so wasn’t aware that what seemed like at least a few hundred people would be onboard. You meet at the Danube and then are briskly walked to the boat ( this was a complete shambles, no on the tour group had a clue where they were going or what the location of the boat was) would have been much easier to just meet at the boat. The cruise itself was fun for the first hour but after it felt really dragged out and there was just way too many people but that’s because I prefer much smaller experiences with less people.
We bought a boat with drinks and live music, and the experience was amazing, we like it.
