Highly Recommend - The experience was absolutely amazing! The entertainment was beautiful and we really enjoyed. However, I have to give a special thank you to David our waiter who was absolutely incredible throughout the night. He was polite, friendly and helpful. Thank you for a pleasant birthday eve experience. Highly Recommended if visiting Budapest

Crucero Danubio. - Quiet cruise with dinner, pizzas plus drink with two hours crossing at 10:00 at night Seeing beautiful lighting of Budapest Palaces, it was worth it if I repeat it.

There was very little... - There was very little room for people to view the tour from outside. I saw many tour boats that had almost all outdoor seating. It was hard to view the sights and take pictures from inside.

Long - We took this boat for the music... outside we heard nothing. The sparkler was not of good quality. On the other hand impressed by the engine room partly visible.

Up and down in front of the departure point. - The ride was not a ride, but an up and down before the departure point. Nice musicians, the expensive drinks inedible.

scarce - The boat was hidden by another boat where a private event took place and at least no indication or explanation of this was visible to me (maybe it was written in Hungarian) but definitely not in English or Italian. They offered me a prosecco on the way in even though I had cruise-only option. the staff seemed friendly young and helpful music so maybe I would have preferred something contemporary alternating with something typical instead I don't know too typical or niche as music. there was a couple in characteristic clothes not so nice in my opinion for the ritual photos.

Very few outdoor seats - very bad for viewing sites - I think this is the worst boat/company to use for a Budapest river tour. Only about 15% of the seats are outside. And since everyone with inside seats crowds outside blocking the views of those with the outside seats, basically everyone is frustrated. There is no roof deck and during night/evening cruises, they leave the inside light on - which causes the widows to reflect - which means it’s harder/impossible to see the sites along the sides of the river if you wind up with inside seats (anyone who arrives later than 40 minutes before the boats leave). The other companies/boats have all solved these issues. So I recommend not using this company (pontoon dock 2).

Buyer Beware - Bolt and a second cab driver could not find the location NO signs. No one answered the phone when we called. We never made the boat and will be requesting a refund.
