Evening cruise

5.00I wasn't sure whether to do a cruise or not as I had seen all the sites on foot. Booked an evening/night time cruise last minute and it was money well spent. We did the cruise as night fell and to see the sites lit up was breath taking. It was an excellently organised trip from boarding, head sets to welcome drink. Tip: Sit upstairs for an uninterrupted view of the sites.
In the middle of the Empire

5.00We really enjoyed a cruise on the Danube in Budapest together with my husband and friends. The ride was excellently organized, and the audio guide was also very well prepared. The drinks were served as promised right at the start of the ride. The historical accompaniment in several languages worked flawlessly and was very interesting and pleasantly told. The music in the background further underlined the special atmosphere during the ride. I felt like I was in the middle of the Empire. Thank you for this wonderful ride!
The best!

5.00Worth everything ✨️ Budapest is beautiful on the waters! Especially at night! Make sure to dress for the weather as it can get a bit chilly!

4.00We chose this as it was one of the options on the Budapest Card. The staff were welcoming and the audio guide informative. The included drinks were a nice touch. We stopped off at Margaret Island for some food and a walk. The map the boat staff give you has a voucher for 10% off at the Brasserie at the hotel which was a bonus. We were given tickets to get back on the boat as we left at Margaret Island.
One of the best!

Worst cruise Ever!

1.00This is the worst narrated cruise we have ever been on. You have no idea which side of the river to look at or which building to look for. Save your dollars and take a walking tour of the city!
A great family experience!
