5.00Perfect night on the Danube. The ship and crew were all perfect. Lovely drink as we boarded. Everything was organized and pleasant. Buda and Pest played their roles wonderfully, all lit up and stunningly gorgeous. The narration was easy to access and just right. Highly recommend!

4.00Wonderful cruise around the city to see all the monuments lit up! I would recommend getting in line early to get seats with the best view. Welcome drink is Prosecco or OJ so plan to spend $ if you want something else. Seeing Parliament lit up was the highlight for sure!
Must do in Budapest!
