Brilliant River Tour

5.00Lovely relaxing river tour. The directions to find the meeting point were clear and easy to follow. We were greeted with a smile and simply had to give the booking name, which was a nice personal touch. You can listen via your mobile phone if you want to hear the audio guide or just simply take in the views and sounds of the boat gliding along. Complimentary glass of fizz was a lovely gesture and we also bought a beer at the bar. I would 100% recommend this as a brilliant way to spend an hour in Budapest.
Great!

5.00When we arrived early we found out our original booking for the paddle steamer had been cancelled. We hadn't received an email to let us know. A young man, called Abel, who works for Duna cruises was amazing. He helped us sort another cruise out and did everything he could to help us have a great evening. Able is a great asset to Duna cruises.

5.00Amazing experience! We took the 8pm cruise and Budapest by night doesn’t disappoint! So beautiful. Friendly crew and comfortable boat. We sat on the upper outside deck - blankets provided if needed. Also liked the fact that the boat is not too large which made for a better experience in my opinion.
Sunset on the Danube... magnificent
