Great communication following booking regarding meeting points etc. Both venues are stunningly beautiful and full of the history of budapest and Hungary. The Parliament tour is audio guided and takes around 45mins with plenty of opportunity to take pics. We also saw the changing of the guard which occurs each hour. The tour of St Stephens basilica was provided by a very knowledgeable local and we were even lucky enough to hear the organ playing as part of practice for a concert. The view at the top of st Stephens basilica is incredible, although not for the faint hearted if you don't like heights. There are lifts up & down, but to reach the top view there are stairs. Overall, this is a must do experience if visiting budapest

The atmosphere of the cruise - music, views outside. Selection of drinks is nice and prices aren't that high. I strongly recommend trying this activity while staying in Budapest

I took this evening cruise (after sunset) on the Danube, enjoying the sight of the illuminated bridges and monuments while sipping a delicious draft beer. Highly recommended!

We've bought tickets online for the cruise at 19.40- the best option, you see some of the objects at daylight, the sunset, the lights and the grande finale is the night view of Budapest. The cruise we went on was one of the most pleasant and memorable experiences. From the very beginning, everything was well organized—the boarding process was smooth, and the staff were friendly and attentive. During the cruise, the atmosphere was extremely enjoyable. We would definitely do it again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for something different, beautiful, and refreshing.

Absolutely amazing experience! The Budapest Danube cruise was one of the highlights of my trip. The views of landmarks like Parliament, Buda Castle, and the Chain Bridge were breathtaking, especially when illuminated at night. The atmosphere on board was relaxing and well-organized, with friendly and professional staff. The welcome drink added a nice touch, and the overall experience felt both luxurious and peaceful. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Budapest!

It's a short but pleasant cruise, and the price is reasonable if you can book the basic option. We had to go with the one that includes an aperitif because there were no spots left without it, but it's still OK... :)

Skip the lines at St. Stephen’s Basilica for a guided tour, treasury access, and panoramic terrace views, then enjoy a scenic day or evening Danube cruise with a drink.

Both spots are just a 15-minute walk or quick drive apart, making it easy to visit in one day. Booking together saves time and ensures a smooth Budapest experience.

Upgrade for a guided lookout terrace tour with stunning city views and an in-depth exploration of the treasury’s rare artifacts at St. Stephen’s Basilica.

St. Stephen’s Basilica

Skip the long lines at St. Stephen’s Basilica and step into a grand hall with soaring domes, towering marble columns, walls covered in gold-trimmed frescoes, and mosaics depicting biblical scenes. Your guide shares the stories behind the artwork and relics, including St. Stephen’s mummified right hand, displayed in an ornate glass case. The treasury showcases embroidered vestments, jewel-studded chalices, and ancient manuscripts. Ride the elevator to the panoramic terrace, where you’ll see Budapest’s skyline unfold, from the bridges of the Danube to the hills of Buda.

Budapest Sightseeing Cruise

Cruise down the Danube River with a drink and audio commentary for a front-row seat to Budapest’s most stunning sights. Pass by the Hungarian Parliament’s neo-Gothic facade lined with spires and crowned with a massive red dome. Across the water, Buda Castle sits high on a hill, a palace complex with Baroque courtyards. As you drift under the Chain Bridge, look at its massive stone pillars and cast-iron chains, a marvel of 19th-century engineering. Sip your drink while spotting Matthias Church’s colorful tiled roof and the dome of St. Stephen’s Basilica towering above the cityscape.
