Great value, a good cheap cruise. No fuss - The queue was long but the guy checking the tickets let 2 through out of 4, then just let them through. It was the 10pm trip and the bar queue was fairly well managed and kept clean. All in all a good cheap river cruise on a serviceable boat. Therefore good value. Seat were comfortable etc.

Stunning views! - This is an absolute must. We went on the 8:30pm cruise so the lights had just come on. It was absolutely magical! Plenty of room on the boat, windows all round to take photos and you can stand on the top although not much room or any seats up there. This was the cheapest I found, great value, highly recommended.

Night cruise - An evening cruise was a wonderful choice. Seeing Budapest by night was an absolute joy - stunning. I would highly recommend this experience. Make sure you download the Purpleliner app to have your attention directed to key sites.

Very good value boat tour - You can see every sight that's on the river. In the evening, Parliament looks very cool due to the lighting. Recommended

Good value, but queue early if you want to see anything - Nice views, good price. Arrive at least 45 minutes early if you would like a seat near a window. Unfortunately a small number of people found themselves a spot on the top deck and by the windows and wouldn't let other people see.

Good trip, worth it - Covered a lot in an hour. Easy to follow notices, including screen info on buildings etc. and lots of photo opportunities. Drinks available. Certainly value for money

Good value and beautiful scenary - I would recoomend this during evening time when its dark as it was so beautiful. I didnt try the audioguide so cant say anything about it but the cruise was awesome with slow movement on river and beautiful scenery. You could sit inside or stand up on deack. We choce to stand outside. The only big negative was that it was allowed to smoke on deck which made most of the trip unbarable for me. It was only one hour cruide so cant see the need in allowing smoking. Almos felt like nonsmokers was forced to sit inside and watch everything through a window

Disappointing Danube cruise - Very tight and uncomfortable plastic seats. The smell of popcorn in the boat is not very pleasant. Not very romantic, too bad.

Like that boat trip - The boat trip was ok, but the pictures on tv guide were not in slow. WiFi on the boat did not work and you could not download the app.

Disappointing - You get what you pay for, I would recommend paying a little bit more so there is more of an out door area . There is a small outdoor area upstairs but no seats and very over crowded . Staff were friendly though .
