Traveler reviews
Perfect programme
On a sunny Saturday in May, we had the pleasure to spend a lovely brunch&cruise with my family. I would recommend this programme to anyone looking for a splendid time.
Excellent program with great view
With my wife and her parents we went on the Brunch and Crusie cruise, which we loved. We were greeted with excellent food and kind, attentive service. And the sightseeing was beautiful. I recommend this program to everyone!
Fireworks cruise 2024
False advertising and tourist trap ! On the evening of August 20, 2024, we were on the Gróf Széchényi boat : 3 people for HUF 81,000. When we bought our tickets on the quay, a few hours before departure, the saleswoman clearly explained to us that the ship would be parked between the Chain Bridge and the Margrit Bridge during the fireworks, and that we could even dock in front of the Parliament, as indicated in her brochure. However, after a very short 30-minute cruise, we dropped anchor and stayed very, very far away, behind the Perofi Bridge, 5 km from the Parliament, where we only saw the tail of the fireworks. We waited there for 4.5 hours, before and after the fireworks. This trap lasted more than 6 hours in total ! This boat was the worst place to watch the fireworks. We are totally unsatisfied with this service. This was really not honest...
cost of the trip very honest but beautiful
very beautiful and attractive especially for the size of the Danube. With the boat approaching the river bank it was very beautiful to see the monuments overlooking the river such as the parliament
Family Pirate breakfast on the Danube
We had a great time at the family pirate breakfast on the Danube brunch. But it's not the first time we've been here. The servers were again very kind and helpful, they even did face painting for the children. I would like to single out the pirate animator: Márkot Katus, who was very kind to the children. They really enjoyed being able to use the "pirate uncle's" sword and binoculars. Upstairs, of course, the panorama of Budapest from the perspective of the Danube was beautiful. I wholeheartedly recommend this program for people of all ages, especially with small children! 🙏🏽🥰🙂
