Personable and informative

Daniel was very personable and knowledgeable!!! You can tell that he loves the city. Go on Daniel's tour at the beginning of your time in Budspest. He has many suggestions to help you plan your visit.

More than disappointing.

It is a scam. Instead of a troupe of dancers, you have a couple who perform 4 dances and then go from table to table to allow you to take a photo with them (they are at least in traditional costumes). They are accompanied by 4 musicians. You are told once you are seated that the cruise will not take place due to the drought of the Danube. You can change the date, but not get a refund (so come back on vacation to Budapest in 6 months...). You see all the other boats passing by on the Danube, so it makes little sense... The only decent thing is the meal, but really expensive for what it is (chicken cutlets with a frozen cauliflower gratin of the type you can buy in a supermarket in individual portions).
