    Excellent organization, punctual. Smaller "historical" boat choice proves successful and more intimate. Trip that touches all the tourist spots in Budapest that line the banks of the Danube. Highly recommended!

    The activities were great. The only thing we didn't like is that when we booked it didn't allow us to choose the youth option without being students.
