Learnt some history and appreciate historic landmarks - Great little tour especially if you love your history! I recommend downloading the Purpleliner app and listening to the audio guide (you can choose from a range of different languages) to allow you to really understand some of Budapest's historical landmarks.

Good views of buildings at night - No tour guide but still great views of many historic places on the Danube. Make sure to download the app to listen to the historical facts while you view the sights! We went at night to see all the buildings and bridges lit up.

Good but could have been better - It was a good and nice boat trip at a cheap price. Not much more. The app that would play the “guide-voice” when you got close to a attraction worked so-so. You had to manually press play when you approached. Budapest is a very beautiful city and it was very nice to go boating and look at all the sights from the water. But the boat trip felt very personalityless and was really designed to get a little tired of the guide and instead buy a lot of overpriced drinks and snacks in the bar.

Basic cruise for a basic price - Worth going-views are spectacular, but no frills. Free wifi was evasive and app would not download for me, but did for my partner. Cash-bar if you're into that.

Basic - The trip was basic although the boat was clean. The guy doing the tickets etc was brusque and abrasive. One of our friends really suffers in the sun and wouldn’t let her stand in the shade. He said ‘I have to stand here too’. Not great.

Disappointed - The guide was only available as pictures on a small screen... uncomfortable plastic chairs and disengaged staff. Vaclertå Danube of course, but choose one of all the other companies instead, there are many more!
