It was a beautiful experience. The illuminated Parliament is spectacular. On the boat, unfortunately, there was not all the free space on the open-air roof, only half of it, so not everyone could look out over the river or take pictures without the presence of other people. However, the monuments could still be seen well

Beautiful cruise on the Danube taken at 7 p.m. on March 8 when it was already dark so you could see the illuminations of the major sites in Budapest, from Freedom Bridge to the Parliament. Great atmosphere xbecause the lights off give way to photograph the sites without the reflections. Great bar on board for a drink

It was good, the view was spectacular, but I booked it with an audio guide and we weren't given one, we just went on a boat watching without knowing what we were looking at all the time

The view of the city from the river is incredible, you can see the size of the parliament, the castle... The fact that an audio guide is available is great for understanding the historical landmarks.

Embarkation was smooth and not at all confusing. The boat was spacious and had clean windows so you could enjoy the views and take photos. Friendly crew.

I really enjoyed the tour that the cruise takes and appreciated being able to see the monuments from a new perspective. Only thing we couldn't take advantage of the audio guide we paid for because there was no qr code on it and when we tried the site it didn't work.

Very impressive experience to see Budapest's monuments illuminated from a different perspective. You can sit indoors or stand outside on the boat. Easy and recommended online reservation. Food and drinks can be purchased and consumed on board. The departure point, which is the same as the arrival point, is centrally located and easily accessible by public transportation or cab. I personally did not take advantage of the audio guide, but you must bring headphones with you if you wish because they are not provided on board.

I really enjoyed the tour taken on the Danube cruise because I got to see the city lit up at night. It was very exciting. I recommend showing up much earlier at embarkation because there was a long line of people.

Extremely pleasant mini cruise, on the boat the outdoor space is small and in good weather it is crowded with people.

It is necessary for someone to be vigilant so that participants are seated during navigation and a full view is possible for all.

I chose to go on the 7 p.m. cruise, a perfect time to see the illuminated buildings. Despite suffering from seasickness I did not feel bad as the boat was very stable. In addition, the experience was very relaxing, highly recommended to everyone!

It was nice and simple, i would rate it as 4.5, nothing outstanding or special, everything was as expected. The prior instructions were very clear.

It says tour with audio guide but none of us had that. It is a tour of the Danube in a closed boat designed for you to sit and consume drinks and food during it, if you want to enjoy the panoramic views of the city you have to be turned all the time as the seats are not facing the views but backwards. I do not recommend it at all if you are looking for a guided tour to get to know the city.

There is quite a long queue. The audio guide does not work. From inside it looks pretty regular. Although they say it is a must-see, I don't think so. There are other viewpoints that do the same.

I hadn't understood that the audioguide had to be downloaded onto your own device, and that headphones were therefore a prerequisite. Even though I reread the confirmation email, this information was not made sufficiently clear. The proof is that I saw hardly any other passengers listening to the audioguide. Listening to it afterwards, the content is interesting.

Honestly, I was disappointed especially because there were no seats outside for the cruise and it was very hot inside. Too bad!

The route and the boat are very good, but we were not informed that we had to download the audio guide to be able to listen. We had prepared the headphones to be able to do the audio guide but we did not see a way to get it. When we left we were told that the QR for the download was outside before the entrance ramp to the port. I think some signage with the audio guide instructions on the ship or on the same drink cards that are handed out upon entry would be helpful.
