Mandatory tour for those who stay for more than one day.

It is worth seeing at night. The environment becomes even more beautiful and pleasant, with a very special atmosphere. Everything was very satisfying, from the care to the experience in general. It was an excellent tour and definitely recommend to those who are in the city.

Superb cruise on the Danube

Beautiful one-hour cruise with complimentary glass of champagne, or orange juice. Very welcoming staff, speaking very good English. A very pleasant moment of relaxation and discoveries of the wonders of Budapest seen from the Danube.

Disappointment

Beautiful ship, crew was unfriendly not engaging at all. Not one person smiled. Lovely trip but a recorded guide so no interaction. No additional drinks available for purchase

Nice clean boat ride, fit for kids

We were with 2 small kids and chose to go on the last cruise before sunset The boat was fairly empty and we very much enjoyed the ride We were offered several options of drinks with some kind of extra lemonade drink at the end. Each seat is equipped with a headset and a way to select a language for an audio guide of the areas we passed. The boat was particularly clean and spacious compared to others we saw. We were able to bring a stroller on with no issue. The waiting area was nice as well with bathrooms in addition to those on the boat.
