Danube River cruise
Stevi P,May 15, 2026

3.00The the cruise was nice. The reason I gave it a three is because the other passengers on board were so loud you could not hear the narration on the top deck. I don’t even think they were paying attention to the view. This did not come with ear audio narration. It would have been nice if the cruise line had some signs that said please keep quiet or keep your voices down or maybe even made an announcement to keep your voices down before we started.
Very nice and chill.

5.00One hour travel with the view of most important buildings and bridges of the city, very nice and chill experience.
At sunset

4.00Among the many proposals happened the cruise departing from dock n. 6. Impossible to board for the long line on Saturday, immediate instead on Sunday evening at sunset. So we were able to enjoy the lights of the setting sun and the first lights on in the night. Very suggestive and at an acceptable cost.
Disappointing

2.00The scenery is stunning however this experience was a let down, you couldn’t hear the audio properly at all and it seemed as if most people weren’t bothering to try to listen as they were too busy chatting loudly, children crying! If we could have heard the audio so we knew what we were looking at it would have been good. Next you can’t go outside so everyone is crammed round the windows trying to get a decent picture… not ideal. There is a limited (very) amount of outside space and when we asked if we could take a picture were selfishly told we are sitting here! All in all the trip could be fantastic, the scenery is but let down by fellow travellers!
Made at 2140 with nice...

4.00Made at 2140 in good weather. Beautiful views of the illuminated city. Departure and arrival on time. The only flaw is the catering worker too busy pouring flut to cute girls and other young people not serving our and another table. It is not important but if the thing was understood it is right to report it.
It's a bar and scrub

1.00There is no audio guide, the cruise is basically for you to consume inside. The lousy experience. Many were already drunk before they got on the boat.
Boat on the Danube at sunset
Angela P,May 1, 2026
- Review from Viator
3.00The view of Budapest at sunset is very impressive, too bad that when we boarded the boat many people were already on board already occupying all the seats. In particular. a couple took a table of 6 and occupied it with backpacks.!!! Then the boat was not open enough and prevented the full view of the city.
Negative experience

1.00Made with friends. Not a positive experience. Much confusion. Boat that does not allow you to see the view. I wouldn't recommend it.
The lights of Budapest...

5.00The lights of Budapest really make the cruise a memorable experience. There was a map to orient you to the various sights to see. Very clear night and excellent for taking photos that we will cherish.
Nice...but!
