Combo: Budapest Danube River Sightseeing Cruise with Drinks + Full-Day Rudas Thermal Spa Tickets

I definitely recommend the boat tour! We bought our tickets right in the app for the 7:20 p.m. tour. After purchasing them, you’ll find all the necessary information, including your tickets, in the app. We arrived for the cruise 15 minutes before it started. We were greeted by a friendly gentleman to whom we showed our ticket in the app; he gave us a boarding pass and seated us. We then waited for the cruise to begin, which started exactly at 7:20 PM. We presented our boarding pass when boarding the boat. We boarded the boat, where glasses of prosecco or orange juice were waiting for us. Up on the boat, there were benches with plenty of space, and each bench had a soft cushion, so sitting was comfortable. The boat moved at a moderate speed, slowly, and the entire cruise was a pleasant experience for us. It was a truly pleasant evening; we sat, chatted, sipped prosecco, and enjoyed the beautiful views of the sights. From 7:20 PM to 8:20 PM, the sun was just setting, so we didn’t get to see the Parliament building lit up at night, but that didn’t bother us at all. If you want to see the Parliament at night, take the cruise later in the evening. However, there were fewer people on our cruise, which suited us just fine; by the time the next cruise departed, there were quite a few more people waiting, precisely because of the illuminated Parliament. At the end of the cruise, the waiters came to collect the empty glasses. I’m planning to go back to Budapest, and I’ll definitely take the boat cruise again.

The Danube cruise went according to plan, the travel conditions were excellent, the drinks served were good and the free tour on Margaret Island was pleasant and comforting. Both boats I traveled on had very comfortable seats, visibility was very good, the staff on the boat were very polite and supportive, and the translations in the headphones were in many more languages than you can find on a touristic bus, for example. I would also like to appreciate the quality of the descriptions presented by the guide who accompanied us during the free 45-minute walking tour of the island, as well as the cheerful and lively atmosphere maintained by her. In conclusion, I highly recommend this trip to other tourists who will spend a city break in Budapest.

The cruise was efficient and showed us a lovely tour of Budapest lit up at night. The only drawback was that neither my daughter's or my headset worked, so we missed out on the audio part. This was okay as we knew many of the sites from a previous trip and could focus on taking photos.

The night cruise on the Danube is incredible; the boat is very cozy, offers audio guides about Budapest’s history in multiple languages, has comfortable seats, a spacious interior, and is accessible to everyone...

A great way to enjoy the city’s sights from the Danube. It’s best to take a cruise at sunset. This gives you the chance to see how the city transforms as the lights of its iconic buildings come on at dusk.

A spectacular cruise on the Danube. We chose the 8:30 p.m. departure, and shortly after, as the sun set, we admired all the illuminated buildings and bridges with a nice glass of wine in hand. Amazing!
