    Lovely sunset views on a comfortable boat

    Really enjoyable cruise along the Danube, taking in the main sites along the river. Boat was comfortable, plenty of seating and opportunity to get photos. Good audio info along the route, nice welcome drink and the hosts were great, clearing glasses and taking photos of everyone! Recommend!

    Fabulous trip
    You just have to do this. We walked down to the river and booked a tour that was leaving at 11am.It was wonderful..a fantastic way to see the sights and very informative by head phones.A glass of Fizz was also very welcome.Stopped off for 1.5 hours at Margaret island and pedalled around on bikes for a whie which was great fun and then had a light lunch in the hotel before boarding the boat back with a complimentary tea. Perfect.

    Evening cruise on the Danube

    We booked this evening cruise on Sunday 5 October, a few hours before departure they brought it forward by half an hour, probably because the boat had not filled, so they boarded us on a larger boat, to apologize for what happened they transformed our package from 2 drinks included to unlimited drinks.
    We still enjoyed it and would do it again

    A nice post sun set cruise.

    The cruise was well organised. Well documented pick up point description and highly visible ushers.
    The boat itself was functionally very good.
    The drinks offered were limited in variety but we didn’t expect muchkm more.
    The show time was great and the buildings looked wonderful when fully lit up.
    The time was just sufficient.

    Lovely evening on the water.

    Lovely way to see the city from Riverside. Did 1 hr one and got small glass white wine. Sat outdoor and up on deck. No commentary which would have been nice. Left on time at 7pm.No delay but next time would do a later one when dark as its all lit up at night and supposed to be v impressive.

    Worth the time and money

    So FUN! The sites are amazing and the crew was delightful. Both upstairs and downstairs offer spectacular views of the Parliament and Chain Bridge. Go at night for the full effect of the lighting. Arrive early enough to see the shoe exhibit.

    Budapest

    This is a beautiful historical city , people are very friendly. Budapest is a city that beautifully blends charm and history, offering a warm welcome with its friendly locals. The weather during our visit was delightful, enhancing our exploration via the hop-on-hop-off bus, which provided a comprehensive view of the city’s stunning architecture and vibrant culture. However, it’s disheartening to witness the city’s struggle with economic challenges, evident in some areas. Despite this, Budapest’s rich history and the kindness of its people leave a lasting impression, making it a memorable destination for travelers seeking both beauty and authenticity.

    Beautiful sightseeing but specific orientation was missing.

    The cruise staff was very nice. The boat ride was enjoyable. There was a narrative playing explaining the various sites. However, the narrative was not always in sync with what we were seeing and it didn’t specify on which side of the boat it was. That was annoying and I’m sure we missed information. That’s the only negative that I experienced with this cruise.
