Good choice, but questionable customer service

We cruised during the energy crisis in August and we were on the first night the lights were fully off around the city and at the govt buildings. Legenda had warned us via email and offered a discount. In the end, the cruise was good. The audio guide was informative and the drink served was nice. I did not appreciate getting home and no partial refund had been given like promised. Legenda was quick to respond and issue the refund, but for other travelers, that seems sneaky to not give the refund like promised due to the lights being off.

Budapest Cruise Guide

All in all this was disappointing. The temperature was over 100 and when we went to the boat the temperature on the boat was over 100. We requested about the AC and told it was just turned on now and it takes a while to cool down. The staff are not that friendly and the boat didn’t not make a stop at the island as it promised on the itinerary. Very disappointed

Lovely cruise, highly recommended

Pleasant cruise on the River Danube. Nice waiting area with toilets on the pontoon, which helped to avoid the hot sun. The boat was quite large and very clean. An alcoholic drink was included and also some nice refreshing lemonade. Staff were very professional and friendly. We were supposed to stop at Margaret Island, but could not do so because the water level was too low. This did not spoil the experience. Lovely views of the beautiful architecture and bridges, particularly the Government Building. Great experience, highly recommended.
