The Ultimate Sightseeing Experience - This cruise was a truly wonderful experience! The boat is spacious, with plenty of outdoor seating for everyone. We passed all the major landmarks, making it a very complete and enjoyable tour. Choosing the evening cruise allowed us to see the city glowing - the views were simply magical. If you plan to sit outside at night, make sure to dress warmly. The staff were friendly making the experience even more pleasant.

Overbooked cruise - As a cruise, it was very nice, but it had more people than it should have. Many people were standing, and it wasn’t possible to take photos.

night charm - There is nothing better to see Budapest in a whole new light than taking a night cruise on the Danube. from the river the city is simply spectacular: the illuminated parliament, the buda castle, the chain bridge... each monument comes to life and looks even more majestic.

You get what you pay for - The price was great and the tour was available. The staff were young attentive people. I knew there was not an audio guide but somehow was hoping for a pamphlet or something on the website to assist. On the night tour the Danube was beautiful but I knew nothing about the sights I was passing.

Wine provided and great... - Wine provided and great vibes - would highly recommend doing this boat tour at sunset transitioning into evening sky! Although make sure to arrive early if you want to get a seat as they try to fit more people in than they should do on the boat. It also means that a lot late comers were left standing around which dampened the experience.
