Great little river cruise - Went on this last night. Had a brilliant time. We only did the drinks package so sat outside for most of it but when we came in the entertainment sang happy birthday and gave me cake.
I was worried it would be hard to find but if you put the exact address in it will get you there and it stated dock 2 on booking so was easy. I would say get there early as the good seats outside soon filled up and inside not all are window seats. We met some lovely people on board which also helped the experience. Some looked bored ??
Only 1 negative is before we set off another boat unloaded right beside us. It was letting off smoke right in our faces - but yucky so took it in turns to go inside and wait for it to leave

Fun! - Amazing experience. You do have to pay for food and drinks. Traditional dance and live music on board. The whole experience is about an hour to an hour and a half. The city views as stunning from the cruise.

A very relaxed and entertaining cruise - This cruise was a wonderful way to see some of the beaitiful buildings, lit up in all their glory, along the banks of the Danube. We opted for the welcome drink bur not the onboard meal. However, food was available with a comprehensive drink and cocktail menu and a very attentive waitress. A very relaxed way to see some of the sights especially the Parliament building and the church and palace on tje Buda side. Entertainment was provided by Hungarian music and dance.
A very enjoyable trip.

Obscured views of beautiful Budapest - I’ll start by saying the service was very good. The boat was spacious and not overcrowded, which makes a change from other sightseeing boat trips I’ve been on.
However, as this is a sightseeing river cruise I was a little disappointed when the only two options to take a decent picture were from an inside seat where the lighting reflected off the glass making it very difficult to take a clear picture; or from the deck, which became a free for all as soon as the boat set off. The poor people (who had chosen to sit outside for the evening) had their view completely obscured by the indoor passengers coming outside to get their pictures. If you’re going to sell an experience like this, I believe you have to give everyone an opportunity to get a good photo.
I chose an option that provided drink tokens with a choice between wine or beer. I had beer and my friend had wine, the latter of which was, frankly, paint stripper.

River Boat Cruise with Drinks - Fairly large boat so took a bit of time to board the 3 drinks offered as part of the package were the cheapest they could offer and it showed wine was very poor and beer was okay just didn't realize there was no choice so not a big hit regarding this. Music on board was not the best but the guys worked on it to get the best for everyone. We ended up in a separate location within the boat away from everyone else purely down to the volume of people onboard.
