GroupVerified booking2 weeks ago4/5The cruise went very well. The scenery is fantastic and well worth the trip. It’s ideal for taking photos of the monuments at night. The staff was friendly and helpful. The complimentary drink could have been of better quality. I recommend it.AAlexander Z
CoupleVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5The cruise was great; Budapest is a very beautiful city with lots of interesting places to visit. I wish the cruise had been a little longer, but overall it was great.PPostolachi R
FamilyVerified bookingLast week5/5We took the 8:45 pm cruise, and it was the perfect choice. By that time, the lights on the buildings and bridges were on, creating a beautiful atmosphere and making the city look stunning at night. We were two adults and two children under 10 years old. The children didn't have to pay for a ticket, which was a nice bonus. Each guest received a complimentary drink, and everyone could choose the one they preferred. The children could choose between lemonade, apple juice, or a soft drink. We had a great experience and would definitely recommend this evening cruise.EElisa T
CoupleVerified bookingLast week5/5A wonderful experience not to be missed when visiting Budapest. The schedule was followed exactly as booked. It was easy to find the meeting point, which was clearly indicated after booking. I booked the 8:45 p.m. tour, and in my opinion, it’s the perfect time. It starts as the sun begins to set and ends after dark. You can admire the whole city all lit up, especially the Parliament building.JJanmarie W
CoupleVerified booking6 days ago5/5The cruise was great but finding the pier using the provided map was a farce! Our taxi driver was flumoxed and so we're we. Written directions would have been helpful. The map, not so much.
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.
