Very nice evening cruise along the Danube. Good value for money - We did the evening cruise with a wrlcome drink. People arrive early to queue for good seats but you can move about the boat freely to get a better view so don't worry about the time you arrive. Best views are from upper decks.

Switching on the lights - Fast booking. Description of the precise meeting point. Electronic ticket on the application We did the tour in the late afternoon. So we saw the lights of the main monuments come on. The illuminated parliament seen DA the boat is a must

Can you do nothing wrong with - Normal boat trip, satisfied, not overcrowded, but unfortunately no table service, if you wanted something to drink, to eat you would have had to go down to the bar

No narration or... - No narration or description of sites was provided during travel, so spent much of the time on our phones trying to identify historic buildings. Seating was limited. Attentive, service oriented staff was lacking. Weather was beautiful and sites were stunning!

Overbooked - The trip was very nice. The views are great. When we arrived, we tried to download the tickets, however, they wouldn’t send. We talked with the staff, and they told us we had to pay again there, and that we would get the refund if we cancelled our previous tickets, however, the app said that we wouldn’t get our money back. We ended up paying two tickets, and they told us to contact them. We couldn’t find the phone number, the one on the website is unavailable, so we messaged them, and they didn’t answer us.

Choking on Gasoline - During the entire cruise, the ship was having technical malfunctions. People couldn't get it to start, then when we were underway, they kept working on the engine right in front of us, cranking it and choking our entire deck with gasoline. We didn't get the full ride and turned back early. No apologies, no interaction whatsoever. I would like a full refund.

Bad view, not recommended - If you want a nice view, there’s many other options, unless you want the view with ceiling bars. And you need to arrive 30 mins in advance to make sure you got the outdoor seats, which are poorly only 15-20 tables, more than half of us need to stay indoor without open window. The only good thing is you will get the welcoming drink such as punch or white wine. Thats it. Not recommended.
