It would have been nice for the crew to make announcements as we went past famous buildings not guided tour but so that people could go see as it was a cold windy day when we went.

It said everywhere to stay seated because there wouls be service on board, none of the 5+ staff members on board came to take my order. The audio guide is only available if you download an app and a file on that app on the spot: which you cannot do without using data or wifi. At least there was a bit of info on the screens (not in sync with cruise and very minimal). The views were worth the money, but will not book again.

Danube river cruise is a must do activity in Budapest. Especially in the night, it is magical when the historical buildings are lighted. The cruise takes about an hour. It is better to come early before your time slot and stand in the queue so that you get the best seats in the ferry. Buying the tickets from headout was fairly easy. With the map, it was easy to locate the boarding point.

The booked experience was really good! The staff courteous. The boat was "indoors" and at night on the Danube was really a plus. Inside there is a very good bar and very clean toilets. The guide for the attractions is not vocal but available on the monitor in English

I really enjoyed this experience! As negative points I would say that there are two: being an enclosed space and with so many people the glass of the boat fogs up and makes it difficult to see clearly the landscape. And the other negative point is the lack of availability to go to the upper part of the boat to see the views from an open air place. Go very early, before the time you will be given in the reservation, so you can sit next to the windows. Overall, a very good guided tour and a very good service-price ratio.

Your Experience

Cruise Along the Danube

Marvel at the wonderful sights of Budapest on the Danube as you enjoy this 1-hour cruise. See the hidden nature of the riverbanks from this sightseeing cruise that one can only see from the water. Bridges over the River Danube were built in many rounds. Take in the fascinating architecture of the Chain Bridge and the Margaret Bridge. Passing by Margaret Island will allow you to see locals walking and jogging on this calm and relaxing favorite getaway within the city.

Sail Past Famous Bridges

The evening sightseeing cruise will continue under two famous bridges, including the Chain Bridge with illuminated guardian lions on either street side. See the beauty of the Buda castle, the residence of Hungarian Kings, and the opulence of the Matthias Church, characterized by its neo-Gothic style. On the Buda side of the river, you can see the statue of Szent Gellért after whom the hill was named. On top of the hill, you will see the beautiful Hungarian woman, Citadella, standing proud with her arms open. Imagine these sights in the soft glow of the lights at night. To further enhance your experience add a drink of your choice to your cruise.
