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!

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

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.

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

The cruise was excellent with great views! The only downside is that you have to get a good seat to have the best view. Drinks inside were not overpriced and the parlement building was worth every penny. Overall a great activity! Don't forget to look up the places yourself before the trip to get a better understanding, and be there early to get the best views!

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

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!

Eva our guide is a wonderful woman. The tour was amazing reach of so many informations she provided us that we wanted to write everything down. She is really like the perfect guide should be. Gentle, kind, emphatic, full of knowledge about the history and not only. It was a great experience thanks to her. We are really satisfied. Thank you Eva!

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!

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.

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.

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 :)

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 💕

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.

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)

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.

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.

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...
