River tour showing the sparliest bits of Budapest!

5.00The tour lasts an hour and shows of Budapest from the unique perspective of the river. The staff were friendly, welcoming, spoke impeccable English and were helpful in explaining how to order drinks, food and how to access the rooftop area. The historic audio tour was very informative. Even our teenagers were enthusiastic!

2.00Could hardly hear taped “guide”, as it’s very loud inside. Tables are packed, shoulder to shoulder; no view. We arrived 20+ minutes in advance to get a good seat. 5 minutes before boarding, staff came by and asked if we had tickets. We showed them, and they redirected us to another line, where we were almost the last to board.
Pleasant enough cruise

4.00The cruise was nice enough, we booked on an 11am trip, after wandered along the quay side. Ildy and Krys were friendly enough and Ildy asked me to download an app for info on what we would be looking at. I asked her if there would be a guide on the boat and she said no. It was our last day, so we decided to go for it, especially as the price was cheaper than on line The cruise was nice enough, and there was a pre-recorded guided talk in English. It was also nice that as it was early it was not a very busy boat. When the cruise finished, I tried to tell Ildy that there was in fact a talk, but she was too busy talking to the passengers leaving the boat, to listen to anything I was trying to feed back to her.

Chose your place wisely

3.00From all the companies offering evening cruises, this one seemed to have the best deal. Overall, all went smooth, but if you sit inside and completely in the front, do not expect to have a great view, because passengers tend to go outside after departure and stand on the railing, which blocks your view completely.
DISAPPOINTING

1.00Pretty regular. We arrived at the pier at the set time, we were the first of the fine ones and when we got on the boat, we were instructed to go to the top, we were surprised that it was organized by tables (not straight seats) and they were all occupied except the one we sat in that was almost at the end and we could not see well since the last area there is a kind of white cover that does not let you see. On the reservation I put explanation in Spanish and what was there was an ambient music that did not cut or paste.
