I was thrilled to cruise on the Danube and see all the sights. The audio was excellent and staff helpful. Budapest is beautiful from the river. Seeing the front of Parliment was a bonus. This tour also goes the length of Margaret Island which was beautiful with fall colors. There is the option of getting off and walking the island and getting back on the boat in 1 1/2 hours.

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.

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.

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)

The cruise is the icing on the cake of a visit to spectacular Budapest. Seeing the city illuminated from the Danube is a memory I will treasure forever.

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.
