Budapest Danube River Evening Cruise with Live Music

Very nice cruise with a welcome drink. I suggest scheduling the pass in front of the Parliament at the end of the tour, not at the beginning when it isn't lit up yet.

Absolutely everything! A breathtaking experience... Enchanting scenery and atmosphere, excellent champagne served at the entrance as a welcome drink, and very relaxing and pleasant music

The trip was good and the staff was okay. I would have appreciated knowing ahead of time thst St. Stephens and Parliament building would not be lit due to them trying to conserve energy. That was my reason for going in the evening and not during the day.

The welcome drink is a nice touch. However, at 7 p.m. in the summer, the cruise isn't a night cruise. It's another way to see the sights. We had a quarter of an hour to see the sights lit up.

Great atmosphere, friendly crew with a generous wait staff, talented musicians, delicious food options, and fair prices on everything -- in my American opinion. I ate like a king (more delicious goulash and perfect bread than I could finish) and had several beverages for the price of one upscale dish in the USA. Overall, I'm very happy with the cruise. Some tips for others: Arrive more than 30 minutes early, including walking time along the shore. The lines can be long and confusing, and you may have to switch lines or boats after you think you "made it." They have to verify your tickets in line and in the ship, and I was redirected twice. I made it to the right boat just two minutes before its scheduled departure! For photographers, note that the reflective glass made it hard to get good photos of Budapest from inside the ship, since interior lights reflected on the glass. I didn't try to go outside, but that might have been an option. Regardless, my best photos of the night were taken when walking down the shore after the tour.

Champagne arrival was a nice touch. Beautiful views. We went in April and Bose 7pm, however the first 20 minutes wasn't quite dark enough for the spectacular river illuminated sights. I would consider what time the sun sets when you are visiting. Enjoyed it very much x
