Budapest with night views

A short enjoyable trip on the Danube, and going at night it brings the buildings to life with the great lighting everywhere. Music on board is live with a trio band and wonderful display of dancing done by a couple in national dress. Food is available at reasonable prices and good selection of drinks as well. The trip is over 90 minutes long but well worth it.

Booked cruise and nevr got tickets

I booked these tickets online but never got the tickets to go on it. After I booked, the confirmation said tickets would be sent via email I never received. I contacted customer support and no one responded to me.

There was very little...

There was very little room for people to view the tour from outside. I saw many tour boats that had almost all outdoor seating. It was hard to view the sights and take pictures from inside.

Long

We took this boat for the music... outside we heard nothing. The sparkler was not of good quality. On the other hand impressed by the engine room partly visible.
