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.

On time, beautiful views, crew guys very professional and friendly. The app should make it easier to show you the tickets and tell you the departure pier, it was quite confusing to figure out which of all boats was ours.

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.

Step aboard a scenic Danube cruise in Budapest, and choose between flexible daytime or evening options, each complemented by a refreshing welcome drink.

Glide past Budapest’s iconic sights, including the majestic Parliament Building, Shoes on the Danube Bank, Gellert Hill, Fisherman’s Bastion, Margaret Island, and more.

Select a cruise with audio commentary to hear stories about Buda Castle’s medieval royal legacy, Parliament’s Gothic architecture, Chain Bridge’s destruction and reconstruction after World War II, and more.

Upgrade to an evening cruise to enjoy live music and 2 cocktails, perfectly complementing Budapest’s illuminated riverside views.

60-minutes daytime or evening cruise (based on the option selected)

Welcome drink of your choice

2 cocktails from the onboard bar (based on the option selected)

Audio commentary (based on the option selected)

At a moment, there was no sound at the audioguide anymore. It came back at about 10 minutes without advising the clients it had come back. Staff is not smiling at all. Smile is part of client's experience !

The city in the glow of the lights was very beautiful. Unfortunately, the drinks were not good. Budapest and Hungary certainly have better wines.
