4.00The good: Surprisingly, the food was better than our expectations. We enjoyed our meals, we had the meat dishes, the fish, and the vegetarian meals. Desserts were meh. The cocktails were very tasty (and strong). The atmosphere was classy, and mostly all adults (not a party excursion). The boat made two passes by the Parliament building, plenty of opportunity for pictures. The not-so-great: Cocktail prices are high, as they are everywhere in Budapest. There is not an open top deck for observation. The only space is a small spot at the front of the boat and at the back. Overall, a worthwhile excursion! It was worth seeing the city at night from river and eating a decent meal.
It was a very relaxing and enjoyable experience to see Budapest

4.00It was a lovely experience but the food was a let down. Such a beautiful city, and seeing it from the water at night was wonderful. Food was average.
Lovely river cruise and dinner

5.00Lovely evening on the dinner cruise. Zsofi looked after us for dinner, which was served at a relaxed pace. We purchased a bottle of wine - all reasonably priced. We had plenty of opportunities to take pictures of all the key landmarks elegantly lit up.
Excellent dinner
