Great experience. Something to consider for those purchasing the unlimited drinks cruise, you will not have time to get more then 3 drinks, unless you chug them fast which I wouldn't recommend doing with a glass of wine or champagne. So if you think 3 drinks is not worth the price increase then just get the package with 2 drinks or with one welcome drink.

Despite the rain, the tour was an experience. The way the explanations were given by 2 people (female/male voice) and the assignment to the places Pest and Buda was very pleasant and entertaining, better than "look left - look right".) Sufficient facts were given, information was not too extensive and therefore guaranteed to be remembered for longer. As it was a birthday present, the drink of choice was a goodie.

    Excellent experience the one made with Legend Cruises;we waited for boarding at the pier in a structure moored on the river,sheltered from the Sun and with sofas and cold water disponibilie(outside temperature was 35C). Modern motorship,on two levels,open on the sides and sheltered.Excellent drink of choice,very useful audio guide to support the monuments and buildings touched by the navigation.Possibility to disembark at Margaret Island and be picked up on one of the subsequent cruises(we had already been to the island,saw two couples boarding again,though). On the return,another non-alcoholic drink offered. The sailing is quiet with photo opportunities,cruise lasted about 80 minutes. Young and helpful staff. Cost of 20 euros per persina absolutely adequate,also for the pre-cruise reception(other companies do not have facilities like this,you stay exposed to the Sun or the weather,if it's okay under a gazebo)

    Despite a very low occupancy on our Danube cruise, the crew set off and made our stay a wonderful experience.
