However, the final daytime cruise - 18:30 - is the last one to stop at the island, so if you disembark, there won’t be a return boat available afterward.

Great daytime cruise

5.00I hope this is the correct company. I took an hour daytime cruise with Legenda and had a great time. The price included 2 refreshing drinks which was great after a hot day of walking. The boat was clean and the staff were professional. I took the 3:30p cruise and glad I did because the next cruise time had a lot of people. While sunset cruise were marketed as the way to go because of the beautiful lights, I got to enjoy the peace and space at 3:30p. The dock is #7 and they are closer to the Elizabeth bridge.

Night time boat trip

5.00Very easy to book, we went for the evening, just as the city lights were coming on. We made the mistake of joining the queue too late, we didn't realise that three boats/three departure gates were in play at any time. However, we got good seats in the end and enjoyed the journey. The city is fantastic at night, the boat was ultra quiet and smooth and the staff were amazing.
Best when done later at night

3.00Unfortunately we booked a cruise that we thought would be late enough for us to see the city lit up at night. Some this was summer, the sun did not set until 9 pm but we did have lovely and sunny views of both riverbanks. The cruise was just long and informative enough. Don't expect much from drinks. Overall, I recommend it!

5.00A lovely relaxing hour spent on the river taking in the scenery from a different viewpoint. Audio informative. The best view of the Parliament. All of this complemented by a glass of wine and a refreshing fresh lemonade.
Must do boat tour

5.00An excellent boat tour that provides an overview of the city. The audio guide is informative but not overbearing. Having a drink of choice and then a lemonade included made the experience more enjoyable. Pier is easy to locate and lots of times throughout the day. Definitely worth it.

5.00The cruise was definitely worth it! The audio guide was very clear and informative, making it easy to follow the history and stories behind the city’s landmarks. From the boat, we enjoyed fantastic views of Budapest’s most famous monuments and attractions, and it was a great opportunity to take beautiful photos from the river. One of the best features is the option to stop at Margaret Island. You can return after 45 minutes, or stay longer and catch a later cruise back, which gives you the flexibility to explore at your own pace. We ended up staying for a few hours because Margaret Island is absolutely beautiful and well worth spending extra time there. We’d also like to thank Bianca, the guide on Margaret Island. She was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. We really enjoyed our time with her, and her insights made the visit even more enjoyable. Overall, this was a relaxing, well-organized experience that allowed us to see Budapest from a unique perspective while also enjoying the beauty of Margaret Island. We would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city.

5.00Great to have flexibility about length of stay on Margaret Island. Boats coming back every 45 mins and gave time to visit the Palatinus baths. Comfortable boat, friendly staff and useful commentary.
