Wrong address given- check before travel

3.00Like other reviewers I struggled to find the right dock. I booked through trip advisor and the address shown on my ticket, booking confirmation, and in the app were all the same and all, as it turned out, wrong. In the end, having realised I was in totally the wrong place in a strange city, I called and was given a maps pin. For somewhere I’d walked past 20mins before! It would be such a simple fix to make this available beforehand and would have made the trip so much better. Luckily I’d allowed extra time to arrive, noting the problems others had experienced. The trip itself was curtailed due to the storm (unavoidable) but what we did see was very pleasant. It would have been five stars, but for the lack of directions.
Nice canal tour, even exclusive for two.

5.00Nice little boat tour through the city canal and back over the Duna. The waterside offers completely new impressions of the cityscape and the historic buildings of the old town. We were lucky and were the only guests on the boat tour. The explanations about the Bluetooth box are in English and are drowned out by the engine noises, so one has to listen closely. However, the captain has plenty of tips and hints ready, suggesting that we would actually need to stay four days longer to cover everything. After the tour, I definitely recommend trying a Black Balsam shot. This is also considered an over-the-counter medicine here.

5.00Lovely trip along the canal in a pretty little boat, I'd booked the sunset time but hadn't taken into account the sundown time! The tours contacted me and let me rearrange my time at no expense to me to make sure I got the nice sunset views. We were sat right next to the captain who gave my mum and I a lot of extra details and pointed out extra bits so I advise you sit next to him! Extremely friendly man! :)
