The views from Danube are fantastic and the welcome drink was very nice. The 'guide' was an online one which was fine but it kept breaking up for me. I wish there was someone there (a person) to alert us to the site we were approaching. Following the online guide and trying to spot the next site proved challenging at times.

The boat and the cruise were lovely. I ordered the Strawberry lemonade and it was very good. The staff was friendly and service was good. I wish I would have known beforehand to bring headphones for the audioguide (ofc it's possible to put the phone on loud but imo that's disrespectful

Everything was perfect. The kindness of the staff, a very pleasant welcome, the boat's beautiful terrace, the ideal pace of the cruise. And our little dog was pampered. We recommend this establishment, excellent value for money. See you soon!

    Woow, beautiful experience, on an old-fashioned but very well maintained riverboat, it was all great to be able to admire the splendor of Budapest.
