    The view of the parliament building was beautiful. The other landmarks, such as Buda Castle and Fisherman's Bastion, also looked beautiful from the boat.

    A magical experience in Budapest! The combination of the night cruise and the thermal baths is perfect. We didn't do both on the same day, which gave us plenty of time! The cruise with the easy-to-download audio guide was superb. The thermal baths are a must-see in Budapest. To really enjoy them, you have to go early in the morning! Otherwise, it gets really crowded! Don’t miss the locals playing chess in the pool!

    Excellent booking service for the Budapest Parliament Building, which was fully booked on its official website. Through Headout, we were able to purchase tickets for the tour at a higher price. We were met outside the entrance by two staff members who, working efficiently, checked our group’s documents and picked up the tickets at the ticket office. Once we received the tickets, we entered for the tour.

    We absolutely loved this tour! From the very beginning, everything was well organized, and when we were welcomed, everything was clear. The tour itself was well-paced and well-structured, as were the audio guides. The palace is magnificent and makes you want to come back...

    We really enjoyed the tour; it helped us get a feel for the city and its history. The walking tour of the city center was especially fascinating. The guide, Claudia, was very witty and humorous. I would highly recommend you to my friends.

    A lovely cruise that lets you admire both sides of Budapest at the same time from a different perspective. It was nice to receive a welcome drink, and convenient to be able to order something to eat as well. In my opinion, it’s best to take this cruise after sunset, when the city’s beauty really shines. The musical entertainment was also enjoyable, with the crew taking song requests from the various tables.
