Customer reviews of «Promenade» tours in Budapest

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?

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!

It was on time and enough seating for everyone on board. The information was provided on over head tv screens which was useful since we did not have earphones to listen to the App version of the commentary. It was relaxing and the use of the on board bar was great.

Could be better if there were no weed smokers and sick people.. had a company behind us who always coughed and some people who smoked weed outdoors and the smell came inside all the time. I understand that people organizing this trip do not check people out or maybe don’t care. But would be better if there were a bit stricter rules regarding this. Had also stand a long queue to get on board when the ship was there already and I must mention that amount of people doesn’t make this trip pleasant when it is so packed. The only thing which was great and why we went on this sightseeing tour - is to see night Budapest from the river. The tour is amazing and it was really awesome view. The lights were reflecting all the buildings on the water and it was totally new experience to go under such big bridges. So in general I recommend this tour, but hope their management will fix such things in future and make it more satisfying

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.

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.

It was the best ran service that I have experienced with hop on and off bus and cruise with this company. Normally they are crap

At first we thought we wouldn't all fit on the boat because it was so full. We couldn't sit upstairs, but we could sit downstairs at the table, where the chairs were much better anyway. Also, we could rotate the chairs and you could open the windows downstairs so you could see everything great. It was an absolutely beautiful ride and the time (9pm) was perfect.

Everything has gone very well from the reservation to the activity, recommended

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

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

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.

Great views of the landmarks, even on lower level. Definitely get there early to get the best seats.

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 very interesting and pleasant river cruise. Boat was very clean and tidy. Staff were very helpful and polite.

Lovely experience, beautiful sightseeing of Budapest and its amazing views

Very well organized, great information given at the correct time really impressed with the service from the waitresses they remembered everyone's drinks with no issues.

Excellent sightseeing cruise on the Danube. The city looks so good at night, and this boat was big, modern and clean. The commentary was interesting and it was great to have a drink included in the price, definitely good value for money.

Very relaxing and enjoyable ride, an opportunity to experience Budapest from the river. Highly recommended

The views of the illuminated Budapest from the Danube side - wonderful. On the ship too loud music and a lot of people, prosecco very good and it was taken care that the glasses were full. It is definitely worth taking this type of trip!

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

Frankly it was good, only there was no more bruschetta so disappointment only unlimited champagne. The view was beautiful.

We absolutely loved this cruise. The boat set off just as it got dark and the lights of Budapest come on. You may have seen the sights while walking around the city but from the river you get a completely different perspective. They were very generous with the prosecco, constantly topping us up and there was also a self-serve option. There was just enough commentary between music to explain what you were looking at and overall it was a fantastic experience.

We had a beautiful cruise on the Danube, we braved the cold and went straight to the top deck where we had the mist beautiful views of all the historical buildings and bridged, our guide explained their history over the speakers, beautiful music was played in between making the whole experience amazing, on top of that we had free freeflowing prosecco this trip is a must for everyone visiting Budapest

I took this tour two times. Saturday and Monday. Generally this is the best ting at this time of the day!!! Theese people are perfect! Only one suggestion. In mondays continue with the same number of waiters as Saturday due to the refilling was very very slow! I saw people taking bottles to serve themselves. Just imagine! Overall experience is EXCELLENT! THANK YOU!

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.

Me and my partner are visiting Budapest for a week. And I can say without a doubt that this night cruise is for sure one of the highlights of the trip. The vibe was amazing! There was nice music tables with amazing view! The unlimited champagne was very good! Went buy too fast the Only thing I could say that could improve is moving the big screen that was on the middle of the boat, it’s very bright and disturbing the view. Thank you so much

Stunning views! All the seats had pretty good views inside, but outside was phenomenal! Even though it was cold outside, I could hardly tear myself away to go inside to get warm. Staff kept the prosecco topped off on our glasses. Never had an empty glass. One of our best nights in Budapest

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!

I didn't have a lot of free time in Budapest . It was a perfect way to relax after a day of walking around the city. I chose the 5pm cruise so I could see the sights in the day and nighttime. The colors in the sky at sunset were beautiful. The prosecco was a bit sweet for my taste but it was unlimited and there were other things to drink. I also liked the snack plate.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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

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.

Budapest bei Nacht zu sehen, war ein Erlebnis. Alle Sehenswürdigkeiten toll in warmen Licht eingehüllt. Die Lokalität ansprechend, der Service freundlich und aufmerksam. Die musikalischen Akzente live und sehr schön. Alles in allem, eine gelungene Aktivität. Muss man gesehen haben!

We bought a boat with drinks and live music, and the experience was amazing, we like it.

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.

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.

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.

Absolutely astounding. A short walk to the Dock led us onto one of the most luxurious boats I have ever seen. I paid for dinner and the cruise and my partner and myself were led up to our own table and given champagne. Once the cruise was underway the food was opened up and all of it was lovely. Traditional Hungarian dishes and a cold desert table. Despite it being a buffet there was more than enough food and it was all cooked well. We were more than happy with everything presented. The music was fantastic as well with live music being played throughout. Overall well worth the money and an incredibly romantic experience.

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.

The offer with the drinks at the entrance is very value for money (there is an extra free drink included) . If you want an extra drink , the prices on board are great. The lights inside the boat were too strong though, and the duration of the cruise was too long (maybe half an hour shorter would be good). Overall it was a great experience and very value for money.

Amazing night, beautiful scenery and attentive staff great cocktails

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

a wonderful end to our short trip to Budapest! The cocktails were delicious and, in our opinion, had enough alcohol... and 3 pieces in 70 minutes are absolutely stress-free. There was enough time to enjoy the two wonderfully illuminated banks of the Danube ... incredibly beautiful and recommended

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!

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.

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

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!

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

Comfortable lounge chairs on deck, good champagne, friendly crew. It's just a shame that there is no (audio) guide. I was missing the information on how/when you can download this online guide. Apart from that: honestly, who wants to read while on a boat and not enjoy the view?

Beautiful ship, enclosed so it was warm but you could go up top with blankets. Glass of Prosecco included and had a nice menu of additional drinks. Lasted about 60 mins and have great views up and down the Danube. Only think I would want to add is some narration. We didn’t always know what we were looking at

There was no guide Excellent trip up the River Nice welcome drink Bar on board Warm

I was lucky to see the ads of this boat trip. Cozy, comfortable and well managed trip, service was amazing, drinks were delicious and views of course- breathtaking. I would recommend smaller boat as Duna cruise, because they look and feel much better than bigger ones.

Comfortable lounge chairs on deck, good champagne, friendly crew. It's just a pity that there is no (audio)guide. I was missing the information on how / when to download this online guide. Apart from that: Honestly, who wants to read while on a boat trip and not rather enjoy the view?

Excellent!!!! Super recommended!!! The champagne spectacular and the prices on board super affordable!!

The cruise was beautiful and gave us all the beautiful views of Budapest. Good value for money, welcome wine is also provided.

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!

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.

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...

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

Great visual experience on the Danube with a friendly atmosphere during the trip and during the after party

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.

My friend and I celebrated her birthday on the boat. The crew was amazing, super friendly, and really helpful. They even helped me make a shout-out to her on her birthday. It was such an amazing experience that it left us speechless. The only downside is the cleanup of the bathroom, which did not exist that much. Otherwise, it was amazing, and I highly recommend the experience!

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

Had a really nice time but the drinks were tasteless and expensive also the photograph won't take your picture if you're there alone he only focus on groups or couples so that's a bit sad and not really nice

Honestly fantastic! Massive boat! Great unlimited drinks option that were pouring quadruple size shot drinks! Amazing views! Great vibe and free cloakrooms :)

We had a great evening aboard the Zsofia! The crew members were nice, there was no lack of alcohol! (for those who had the open bar option) and the music was nice! On top of that everything was very well organized by the crew, even the accompaniment on the scene of the after party! Given the quality of service / price ratio it is an excellent evening option in Budapest

Really fun time, great value for money and lovely to see the sights up close at night

It was very funny, good music on the ship, super nice staff, beer and wine always got to the table quickly, as a result they drank quite a lot :) In the evening it is a super nice view of the sights, everything is well lit. Highly recommended.

it's was really good. The tour guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. Flavia and Bior. Made us feel very welcome. Would definitely recommend

It's worth it, it's very nice to walk along the Danube, have a drink with friends, see the city

The cruise was clean, there was amazing views up and down the Danube river, and the staff were also very friendly! Great atmosphere and vibe all around! Would highly recommend!!

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

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.

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!

it was really not worth the money. we bought a ticket 50eur for the kid and there waa nothing that she could eat. even for us there was no variety. out of 6 dishes almost all were vegetables

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!

Beautiful experience, the food is good and the view is absolutely unmissable. The atmosphere on board the ship is also very nice.

Really lovely staff and drinks were filled up instantly would really recommend

We bought a 3-hour cruise with a 2-course dinner and at the time they asked us if we wanted to leave the ship. We never understood why they do that. And it is necessary that they specify the dinner because it said two-course dinner and it was not good, I think they have to be better at that.

The show was beautiful but the dinner was a bit slow, the courses never arrived. In addition to the goulash soup we had two other main dishes but they were not exceptional: the very fatty goulash and the cod a bit small and with few ingredients, nothing extraordinary. Passion fruit juice is good but it is absurd that with such an expense you have to add more money. The talented musicians and the exciting show, we will repeat it without dinner.

Great evening - good food, excellent entertainment. We bought the drinks inclusive package and all the drinks on the drinks list was not inclusive... only local stuff. When we checked in the first person told us we didn't have the drinks package - however when on board they agreed we had the dinner, drinks and window seat package. A very goid evening - shame about the drinks issue on two fronts.

From the start of evening until the end it was brilliant . The 4 course dining was really good food came out hot and not rushed . A welcome drink on arrival sparkling wine . We paid for unlimited drinks and stuck with the sparkling wine but could have had white wine red wine beers or soft drinks . No sooner we finished a bottle another was brought to us . Entertainment was very enjoyable and we all had a great time

Nice cruise passing by famous monuments. A good time among friends! The - : the seats and tables are fixed so we are a bit stuck once seated. The roof cover is a shame to properly see and take pictures.

This was a lovely evening with entertainment all the way including musicians, singing and dancing. The food was lovely and service excellent. The company cannot be held responsible for the high spirits of other customers who demand attention and were very noisy. The staff dealt with it all superbly. there is also the chance to go out onto a viewing gallery to take photographs. The views were stunning.

at first difficult to find the correct starting point(there are many other cruise companies)no specific sign postings -only seen when almost on top of it-I thought the 3 hour long trip a bit too much.the "voyage'"goes up one side,down the other of the Danube a few times,where the main attraction sites are,so you see the same buildings and bridges over and over again the menu is 4 course,(I took the cruise,dinner and drinks)very well served,food looked and tasted good.desert disappointing-either fruit salad or flan..the flan thick,"listless" and not edible. the folk show and music very entertaining service on board very professional-good waiter service now this is ridiculous..I've posted my review,and it won't go through unless i write 1000 characters.... ........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

We took the 6 course option for a 6 hour dinner cruise. The 6 courses are composed of 2 amuse-bouche, a starter, a main course, a dessert and a cheese (in that order). The 3-hour cruise is in fact twice the same 1h30 loop, which however allows you to take day and night photos of the main monuments of the city. The show alternates between artists playing pieces of contemporary music with violin and double bass, then a show with traditional Hungarian songs and dances.

The River Danube is a magnificent sight when lit up at night and the cruise was well worth the time and money. The staff worked very hard and their customer service was exemplary. The food was delicious (although portion sizes are on the small side). I thought 3hrs for the entire cruise (going back and forth along the same patch of river) was just slightly too long for my personal preference. Also, there was only a tiny amount of outside space at the front and back of the boat to admire the view and take in some fresh air, which was disappointing.. I believe the upper deck was being used for a private tour group?

The price-experience relation is just right. We had a great time. Just the fact of being in a cruise at the danube is charming, on top of that, the staff members are polite and the entertainment is fun. The views are amazing if the weather is right. The food presentation is good, and the taste is fine, don't expect outstanding cuisine though.

We paid for a window seat and unlimited drinks via the EasyJet app. I’m not sure if there were cheaper deals anywhere else but it seemed the cheapest I could find. The food was lovely, I had the duck main course which I would recommend. The soups were also very nice too. There were a few options for the drinks, which was expected with an unlimited option, all local. Service was fantastic, I could not fault it, all very friendly and helpful. Lastly, the performers were great, there was music playing throughout the night, and a woman sang a couple of songs throughout dinner. Then the dancers came on stage as we were finishing our meal and they were great. Once we’d finished eating we were all up on stage. Overall would highly recommend. If you do not decide to pay for a window seat, there are seats in the middle and you can still obviously see out of the window, but you also have the option to go out onto a viewing deck outside to get some good pictures.

It was a nice experience, but a long walk to the departure pier from the parliament

The boat came on time. Very nice captain and crew. Highly recommended - TOP Very happy to repeat!

The cruise itself was not fast, but rather slow and relaxing. This allowed us to enjoy the panoramic views and take wonderful photos. The route passed through the inner city, allowing you to see the main attractions such as the Parliament, Buda Castle and others.

Unfortunately for us the weather was awful. It had just started to snow and therefore it was difficult to see outside as the boat got all steamed up. However the skipper did open the window for a short while so we could take some photos. I’m sure in the summer it would be wonderful. We liked not having other people with us as we saw the big boats were really busy. I would definitely recommend this if there’s a group of you.

This was a great activity. I loved that it was private. The boat was nice and the city of course is amazing.

Came a little late and rushed us but overall brilliant boat trip. Nice route - would recommend doing it in the sunset. Allowed to put music too and have the full personal experience. Friendly driver and host.

nice trip, exactly like described, crew on board is very friendly :)

We were a group of 9 people. We got on the boat on time and enjoyed the quiet morning boat ride. Performance as promised.

I booked it for me and my companion in the evening - very romantic! And the staff is super nice and really helpful. Would book it any time again

This Danube River tour in Budapest was just amazing! We chose an evening cruise to enjoy the illuminated bridges and views of the city. The boat was clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The on-board bar was open and the prices for drinks and snacks were quite reasonable.

We selected a different Port and it worked perfect! Right in time the boat arrived with a Captain and a second person. We started at 8 pm and saw the city by night. Cocktails were great and not expensive. Music was great and we danced on the boat - just my little family. Experience was perfect and we will come back and book it again! Nothing to complain, only enjoy!

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.

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.

The cruise was very enjoyable and seeing the beautiful buildings on the Danube all lit up was breathtaking. Music was quite good and entertaining. Service was very good. The ship itself was pretty nice. Food was pretty mediocre but the glass if Champaign was a nice touch. Overall enjoyable.

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.

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

The entertainment was just impeccable. We had such a fun night. The Champaigne Strings were amazing

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.

A lovely evening overall. Would totally recommend the dinner cruise

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

Spectacular. 100% recommended. Amazing views, dinner with varied dishes and typical Hungarian music and dances.

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

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!

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.

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!

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

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 boat trip lasted two hours on the same route - this made it possible to have a more leisurely experience. It was also nice that the ride started at 7pm and then it soon got dusk and the lights of the city came into their own.

There was wind warning for Budapest that day but they made us wait outside for more than 20 mins. Oh and we can't go up the yacht for reason we don't know.

Great experience! I absolutely recommend it to spend 1 hour of tranquility. It is recommended to arrive a half hour earlier so as to line up, enter earlier and find places down and not up, which are uncovered and can get cold, especially in winter! Very very romantic.

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

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€.

Clear recommendation, as it is very good value for money. The actual tour did not start at 7:00 p.m., but only at 7:30 p.m., but covered all the sights in 1.5 hours, so there was ample opportunity to see the hotspots that were illuminated when dusk fell to photograph. At night, the already magnificent buildings appear even more magnificent. The drink prices on board are also moderate - I only paid €2.50 for a 0.5 l lager beer (= 990 HUF on 03.06.22). All in all a clear recommendation and gladly again at any time! PS: The online voucher was also the ticket for me, ie I didn't have to exchange it, as another participant wrote.

That a perfect fair for this money! We had live music with dances of profesional dancers. Ship is big and you can outside to enjoy the view. Other than this you have your table when you can enjoy the bar drinks and food. Really, for this price is PERFECT!

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

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.

The night cruise is very interesting. Budapest at night looks wonderful from the perspective of the ship. Unfortunately the music is not heard on the terrace.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

I loved!!! We had a great time! The experience is like being on a titanic haha

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.

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.

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

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.

The slightly different city tour :-) Simply great and highly recommended to everyone! Thanks to the captain who navigated our bus safely and skillfully through the stormy waves of the Danube and stayed on course. The whole team is extremely friendly, flexible and great. Thanks!

It was a nice experience. As soon as we got on we were given disposable headphones to listen to the guide. We first took a tour through the streets of Budapest, then we "dived" into the water alongside Margaret Island for a short period, and then we continued our tour by land to the starting point. the moment I liked most was the dive: A beautiful and unforgettable experience; the moment I liked least was the ride in the water: nice, but I expected more.

This all went to plan booked in UK, instruction we great. You do small tour of city which gives you good ideal of thinks to see we booked for that reason on our 1st day of break. you then go into the river and you can see the outstanding buildings and bridges . you are then taken back to pick up point .

I am delighted!!! I read different reviews, but curiosity took over) someone previously wrote that it was boring on the water .. and slowly walking ... did not notice this)) !! Very cool trip! Near the parliament, the bus makes a turn and back!!! All with humor ( Excursion ) the only bad thing is that the bus was pasted over with a film (from the sun) if you plan to take pictures, like me ...))) I advise everyone !! You will not regret!! Guys, thank you very much!!!

The information on how to use the headphones was insufficient. It would have been easy if the accompanying staff had offered help. There was no information whatsoever on the way back ashore. The windows of the bus would have to be anti-reflective so that proper photos / films can be made. Nevertheless, the tour was a nice experience.

Very good! But the audio did not work, but the live guide was so good.

You can see a lot of the city cheaply and taking the bus into the water is an experience in itself. Meeting point is super easy to find, staff was very nice

Bus tour was good and and commentary was ok . However they said for all passengers to wear masks for the duration. At least 14 people on the bus did not wear face coverings and were not enforced to do so . This was off putting and dampened the trip

Sometimes the audio was out of sync, wish there was a bit more audio commentary as I felt myself drifting off to the classical music, but otherwise the whole experience is impressive and not badly priced.

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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 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.

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 perfect, very good view of the city and good service as well

Very good activity to have the best views of Buda and Pest, the only bad thing is the people who crowd at the entrance gate to have a good place

Budapest illuminated is spectacular and this experience allows you to admire it in all its splendor. The boat has seats inside and outside (upper floor), I personally recommend the latter as they allow you to take photos and videos of certainly better quality... I recommend covering yourself well because it is freezing (we went in the month of November) !!! Furthermore, to secure seats outside I recommend arriving at the meeting point a little early, the queue is long and you risk not being able to occupy them. Drink offered on arrival needs improvement. Overall recommended!!!

Definitely got to see loads in the evening lit up which makes for a fantastic site, but there is one major improvement that could be made. A tour guide giving you a brief background of what we are seeing would of been brilliant, as its nice looking at buildings but would of been good to have some history or context behind what we were seeing.

Nice mini cruise, does everything it promises, welcome drink and great view !! I do not give all the stars because the boarding was a bit chaotic, we had arrived first an hour before and we found ourselves in the middle of the crowd that entered without arrival criteria. In short, people who passed by all over the place without a real queue to enforce

Really good cruise for only €11! The drink definitely tasted watered down but can’t complain with the views of the city at night, stunning. Also there is really no queuing system, it’s a bit chaotic, and first in first served for a seat up top but it looked like every seat has a good view either way :)

Super experience! Council in the evening hours to better appreciate the illuminated Parliament

It was great but the route could be better and the location to find the boat too

An absolute must when you come to Budapest. Strongly recommend going in the evening as seeing the Parliament building lit up at night is truly magical- far better than the Instagram pictures. And such value for money with you getting a welcome drink also.

Though the staff and the whole boat experience was awesome, the people were acting kinda like animals. They couldn't respect the line, were pushing each other desperately to get 'the best spot' (I had even received a wonderful free elbow in my rib). They couldn't be controlled, so I understand that the crew was kinda overwhelmed by their behaviour. Funny or not, we (3 persons) got a really good table on the deck, being among the last ones who scanned their ticket. So why acting feral? ((Just a rhetoric question)

The price is right and they were super punctual, you can sit inside and you can go outside if you can't see well inside. You're offered a glass of not-so-bad prosecco and you're very warm inside.

It was nice but too crowded so you have to queue in advance to be at the window and appreciate properly.

Anyone who associates Budapest with Hungarian music and Czarda's dance performance will not be disappointed here. On a beautifully restored paddle steamer of the k. and k. Monarchy, you can cruise along the wonderfully illuminated Danube promenade in the evening. The parliament and the castle are within reach. From a culinary point of view, you get your money's worth at the buffet. A successful evening. Easy to reach metro station for the journey home

Very good, perfect quality/price, even the drink on board was the right price 😊I recommend it

Really nice time on the boat amazing to see The city at night worth the money for sure

Met my expectations and delivered as detailed in the brochure except for the live music part. Wasn't looking for it though and enjoyed the quietitude of seating on the deck of a paddle wheel drive steamer while enjoying the sights.

Everything was perfect: music, show, food, drinks. We could choose to sit outside or inside. The staff was very kind and attentive throughout. The 2-hour duration is just right.

Beautiful cruise in magical Budapest at night. We took the formula without a drink and sat inside as it was cold. too bad the musicians circle around you playing to get a tip, otherwise it would have been very relaxing

I thought there was going to be commentary on the cruise pointing out historical interests in the taxi I feared for our safety the driving was appalling however we did enjoy the cruise itself
