Sunset River Cruise

5.004.5 Stars Overall we enjoyed this cruise and 19:30 is a good time to see the change from light to dark and all the lights come on, showing off the beautiful views along the river. The online audio guide whilst a good idea kept cutting out due to WiFi connection. Remember to bring headphones!! Also, suggest arriving earlier than advertised as you have to queue in line before the boat arrives, meaning there’s a rush to get upstairs for the best seats Also remember to grab a blanket as night time is a bit chilly
Night Cruise - MUST DO!!

5.00We did the evening river cruise (19:30). We had a nice sunset view, then it became dark and all of the buildings along the river lit up. It was beautiful. Nice boat. A “must do” experience!
Highlight of the trip in Budapest!

5.00We actually had a great cruise. I wasn't sure when we approached Dock 10 as it had less presence than others but it was great. Boarded 10 min before departure time, there is a seating area where they keep you till that time. Good amount of outdoor seating (uncovered) and tables have QR codes to bar and audio guide. The glazed guarding was high and we didn't find it too blustery, was relatively calm. Had a couple of glasses of wine from tge var too, was brought to our table!
Brilliant, I would recommend

4.00It was just as I thought it would be, romantic, you had the most amazing views and a blanket if you needed. Would definitely recommend. A four star as the drink provided was the worse drink ever - hardly anyone finished it!

5.00A great river cruise experience, not overcrowded, table service and an opportunity to see some of the riverside attractions. A free welcome drink provided and a bar on board for refreshments along the way. Would recommend this Danube river cruise as a pleasant thing to do in Budapest. Loved it! 😊⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
