Traveler reviews
Waste of money
Not worth the money and effort The whole “concert” is 15 minutes long He played 2 pieces only Better way to experience this music is regular seating inside the Basilica without paying much more to be seated right next to the organ player
Top of the tour of the Basilica
Amazing this little concert with the organist who explains the instrument and plays just for us, 7 people. The visit of the Basilica and the Dome (2 lifts to follow) are also essential for a stay in Budapest. Great writer.
The organ concert was...
The organ concert was beautiful. Just too expensive, you could check the entry ticket time and be there for free essentially rather than $180 CAD
Unique experience
Unique experience to take close look into an organ. The performance was impressive. The organist was friendly and professional
