Budapest nighttime river cruise - Seeing the city at night from the river is a must do when visiting Budapest and the trip with Silverline was good. There is no guided talk, which I think is better, especially given the range of languages being spoken. There was the option to download one but we didn't bother. There is table service from the bar for drinks as well as pizza to eat, which our daughter said was surprisingly good. I would recommend this tour.

Great price, get in line early! - For the price you can’t beat this night cruise. The only thing I wished I knew is that you should plan on getting in line 30 minutes before sailing if you want to get a seat that is easy to see the sights (top deck) the main deck is enclosed, and the seating doesn’t make it easy to take pictures unless you get up and hope for a empty spot to get to a window.

Great value for money - Staff are wonderful. The only thing that was awkward was that there was a limited view on the upper deck due to the sides of the boat being high and just small gaps to see through. Unless you managed to get one of the few available seats with no sides but there weren't many of them. The staff were lovely and very friendly and the drinks were very reasonably priced. A fabulous night time cruise and great value for money.

Cruise in the noise - Nice view of Budapest, to little relaxed cruise due to way too loud music (why do I have to get a disco thud forced on me?) and screeching baby (who brings a baby when it's cot time?). You need to download an app to get the audio tour. Unfortunately, the "music" and the screeching baby made it unlistenable.

Disappointing - We were very disappointed to have missed the boat after being 2 minutes late. I think passengers should be given at least 5 minutes leeway.

Horrible - We arrived at the boat 3p minutes early and watched "special" people get on first. They took all the seats on the top in the open air area. In the closed area, we were packed in like sardines. The windows were only partially open. So many people were packed in the front open area area of the boat that it seemed to create a safety hazard. My partner and I decided to leave. On our way out, the staff stopped us and asked why we were leaving. They explained that the people who buy the tickets with unlimited drinks get to board first. This was not explained in the description of the trip and while they may have stated within th legal limit for the number if passengers, I don't see how it could be safe or enjoyable to view the danube that way.

Very bad experience - We were there 40 min before. We had no opportunity to be in second deck, there was too many people, maybe even more than the allowed ones in the boat, so we had to be inside. No air conditioned, it was very hot. Very poor views, there was fog on the front window. Better pay more and have a good exoerience in another boat
