This is a wonderful way to begin your first day in Budapest. The boat ride was calm and took you up and down the river so you could see both sides clearly. The service was outstanding as was the food. The evening was one we will always remember.

A very relaxed cruise with a nice atmosphere. The wait staff were polite and attentive. It’s a four course meal which you choose from a menu on arrival. All the food in our party was delicious. Extra Drinks are available to buy at a reasonable price. There was live music in the background. All in all a very enjoyable evening and experience. A lovely way to enjoy the Danube lit up at night. I would definitely recommend this tour.

I think the main thing people need to know is seating is assigned by when you reserved this dinner cruise. We were expecting a table by the window with unobstructed views. We arrived an hour early and were the second group to board the ship. We were placed in a middle table. I asked if we could sit next to the window and was told that seating is assigned based on when you made the reservation. This was NOT made mention when I booked this dinner cruise. You get one drink and anything else to include water is an up charge. The meal was not up to what was expected with the price paid. Not that the meal was bad but not for the price. I did have the best pumpkin soup I have eaten. My wife had the duck that was very dry and I had trout that was dry as well. My cheesecake for dessert tasted like the frozen kind you get from the grocery store. I was considering only given 2-stars but the service was OK. You could not say we had a candlelit dinner due to the very bright lights in the center of the ship. People on the sides did have a candlelit dinner as they didn’t have the bright lights above their tables. If you want to book this you better book months in advance. And don’t expect a Michelin star meal. The live music was enjoyable. I would not recommend or do this dinner cruise again.

The four course meal was lovely. The welcome drink was a decent pour of wine. The additional drinks were for purchase and not a bad price. The entertainment was lovely and the ambiance was perfect!

Easy to find. A great value to see the city from the river lit up. Considered the little Paris. Definitely a must!

This was a great night. The lights were our main reason for visiting Budapest and the cruise made this perfect. The atmosphere onboard was excellent with a duo playing some casual music in the background that got everyone singing along a couple of times. The food was also excellent and above expectations to be honest. Oh and did I mention the buildings lit up were amazing. Well worth the money.

The quality of service was friendly with a lovely ambiance created by the musicians, this was then matched by the four course meal and champagne on reception to your table. The light enhanced views of both Buda and Pest buildings in particular The Parliament were beautiful.

Wonderful evening and so worth the price of the ticket. A must to see the evening lights while having a warm (even on a cold night) cozy dinner and music experience.
