Customer reviews of «Sightseeing River Cruises» tours in Budapest

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!

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?

For a solo traveler the audio guide was important and I found it sort of lacking, could’ve been more interesting and in depth. Music was a bit loud to hear it, I get people want different experiences but maybe music that’s a bit more chill could less interfere. Lovely servers and staff, great views.

Nice boat trip, we went at 17:00, there was still sun, and at the end beautiful sunset.

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.

The views and time were wonderful! You have inside and outside seating, your choice. We sat outside. There weren't enough speakers or the volume was low. So, we couldn't hear the tour narration. Apart from that, all was good.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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!

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 :)

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!

Amazing night, beautiful scenery and attentive staff great cocktails

What an amazing evening. The staff were friendly and courteous; it was all very well organised. The cruise lasted two hours, starting near the famed Shoes on the Danube, taking us past Parliament then back by the Citadel for a round trip. Our tour was at 7pm and Budapest at night was even more beautiful than it is during the day. The cruise was relaxing and fun, with brilliant value for money. Plus, there were plenty of opportunities to take fantastic photos. Everything was accompanied by live music, which ranged from traditional Hungarian to TV pop culture (A Game of Thrones was a favourite)! The atmosphere was so cosy and relaxed. I would heartily recommend this boat tour to any tourist visiting the city.

Very large boat and it left a bit late because it took a long time to embark all the passengers. There was no commentary telling us about the places we were passing though. The staff were very nice. The musicians didn’t play out on the deck but we went inside towards the end to listen and this was fun.

We had booked a driver from and to our hotel, perfect solution when it finishes late. The lights and monuments were amazing, and we could take very beautiful pictures. The boat is quite long and you can circle all around on the deck and sit if you want to rest, outside or inside. The Hungarian orchestra is lovely too. A wonderful 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.

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.

We went for the cheaper option which excluded the food, so I cannot comment on that aspect but the live music was exceptional. What a fabulous violinist! Fun and familiar tunes played, so your toes will be tapping along. The boat is quite lovely. Clean, attentive staff, good drinks, immaculate toilet facilities and a lovely large open deck on top so passengers can get those fantastic nightime shots of the city at its best. Happy to highly recommend.

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

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!

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.

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

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.
