Useful tour to see the city if you have limited time! Guide also available to extend the time of the planned stops! Recommended for everyone, especially for the part of the Danube cruise, fantastic at sunset!

The pizza was lovely. The sight seeing was good especially by night. The only let down was the rude staff who took our beer cups before we set off as we were the first onto the boat and then didn’t get them back until we asked someone why others had their orders taken for their 2nd cocktails but we had ordered 20 mins before and still waiting. The rude staff members response was “we haven’t even been moving for 20 minutes”. The mixture of cocktails and beer cruises together made it quite chaotic and slow service.

Our guide, Balint (apologies if I've spelt this wrong) was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and interesting. Took us all around the city. I would highly recommend this particular tour as I found it great value for a three hour guided tour on e bikes.

We spent half a day with Péter Balogh, who informed us very competently about the history and the individual sights of the city. But we would also like to emphasize that Péter speaks excellent German and was therefore able to tell one or the other anecdote in a very humorous way. So: If you want to get to know Budapest, in German, through a likeable contemporary, you should come back to Péter...

A sensational and essential experience for those who want to know the city well and save time! Our guide, Mr. Levente, speaks Portuguese, has a great knowledge of local history and is very attentive. I recommend!

It was such a perfect night and worth the money! I organised this on the night of my partners birthday, i let legenda know in hopes i could possible request a window table, little did i know they went beyond this and sung him happy birthday with a candle to blow out in his dessert too! Such a lovely suprise and really completed a beautiful evening! Extra drinks are so affordable and all the staff are lovely, the singers were amazing, thank you for an amazing trip!

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 💕

We were lucky, because there were two of us we had a private guide. We had a very good young lady as a guide (Sorry we forgot her name) who could tell very interesting and clear about everything. We really recommend her to everyone

I spent 3 days and I didn't regret going to the Jewish quarter, it's so good, it has lots of things to discover, including the Ruinbar, a little far from the top, full of restaurants and bars, and lots of party time. miss nothing I love it

We loved it! Without a doubt, the piano show leads to a very romantic moment and not at all “touristy” which is what I didn't want. The boat goes around the Danube several times, the views are unbeatable, the piano music in the background is beautiful. The 3 course menu is very very good. Excellent service. I totally recommend it if you want to surprise someone and have a magical moment!

We had a great day with our guide Daniel Herczeg!! He showed us all of the highlights that the beautiful city of Budapest has to offer. Including stopping for a delicious chimney cake on route-a must try when in Budapest!! He even gave us a list of reccomendations for some great local spots for food and drink as well. 10/10 would reccomend!!!

First a perfect sunset, then dusk and later the lights of the magnificent buildings on both sides of the Danube. Our (first) stay in Budapest could not have started better! If you book the piano battle, you sit in the upper, smaller dining room of the ship, where there are only two rows of tables. Each table is therefore right next to the window, which can be opened. We liked the music (pop music) and the two pianists played very well. The three-course menu, which offered the option of choosing between different dishes, also tasted good. We didn't book the drinks as all "inclusive", but paid for them individually, which was the cheaper option for us. The staff were all very nice. We spent three pleasant, entertaining and well-organized hours on this boat trip.

Great ride with a lovely guide. Budapest is an ideal city for cycling trips - it's safe, lots of greenery, beautiful views. The perfect way to make friends with the city on the first day of your stay. Delicious cake and coffee in a nice restaurant. I highly recommend and wish you beautiful weather on your trip :)

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.

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

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.

Our guide was just great and we had an unforgettable day. Since we were traveling with 9 people, including two pairs of grandparents, we got a bit off schedule and the guide was so nice and accompanied us through the city for over 11/2 hours longer than originally thought. The additional effort was absolutely limited, so that we saw everything, could go at our own pace and spent a great day together. She showed us all the important sights, showed us little secrets and hidden corners, paused with us in a beautiful coffee and then said goodbye to us in the castle district to a very tasty and inexpensive eatery.

Such a lovely experience. We were given priority with these tickets so got on the boat first. Staff were all lovely and pizza came about 1/2 way through and was amazing. Constantly asking to refill our glasses, beautiful scenery, really enjoyed every aspect

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.

Loved the activity. Got a welcome prosecco on arrival and a cocktail. The boat cruise was amazing and saw amazing views of the city. I loved the decor and music. Only negative comments is we were sat in the centre and could hear both sides of the boat playing different music which was a bit overstimulating
