Such good value, get the time of sunset and add one hour to make sure you get the lights. As others have mentioned get in line early to secure a spot on the top deck. We arrived about 45 mins early and were first in line. You collect your tickets from the booth just next to the pier, simple process. Loved seeing the lights and buildings from this perspective. This charter boat was much better than others as it had cover over the top deck just in case of rain.

Helmet and Segway were fine. Beautiful route, guide knew a lot. Stopped along the way for photos and explanations. The group had 5 participants. It can be busy on the road and there is a lot of work on the road and on buildings in the city. You also have to pay close attention to the traffic, you cannot follow the guide indiscriminately. After an introduction and practice on the Segway, we made another tour of two hours.

Excellent value for money and a really great tour- Dori was lovely and very professional, teaching us a great deal about the city and its history. We were able to take breaks off the bus for photographs and to see selected sites. Overall was a really great experience- thanks Dori (and driver)

Daniel met me like an old friend in Budapest. He knows every corner very well. And he explains the history with so much passion. He also takes care of everything you need on te tour- including hot beverages, water, warm blankets and much more. The ride is totally worth every penny because Budapest is such a huge city and there can be so many tourist traps. But Daniel is the most genuine guide I have ever had and I would HIGHLY recommend booking his tour. Thanks Daniel for making me fall in love with Budapest!

Very nice moment, romantic decor, well-cooked and hearty meal, music that takes local or more jazzy standards, and above all, the spectacle of the banks of the Danube illuminated by the emblematic monuments of the city, Bridges, Parliament, Mathias Church, Castle. ..Not to be missed, good value for money.

Enjoyed the tour very much! A cruise with music is very nice and tasty. The musicians played well, the music was well chosen. I especially want to thank the organizers of the tour for their support and care! ♡ We didn't get lost much on the road, but with the help of you we got there almost on time. There were very pleasant impressions!!! Thank you 💕

This was a fantastic experience with a brilliant guide. The nerves kicked in a little when signing the waiver but the Instructions given and the opportunity to practice put them at ease. Fabulous way to see the city, would happily have carried on for longer if we could. Wrap up warm if doing this in the winter months as it can get a bit chilly - we were greeted back at the centre by the lovely staff and hot tea. Really highly recommend this tour.
