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.

Beautiful views, 8:20pm time slot was perfect timing for both sunset and lights. Comfort on board was great, comfy seats, very impressive staff, good views and toilets available. Quite expensive for only an hour. I'd hope for the option of a second drink/ 30 mins longer or so to really make it worth the money for the later time slot

The Budapest Danube River Sightseeing Cruise was absolutely amazing! The atmosphere was relaxing, and the drink selection was nice. The staff was friendly and everything was well-organized. A perfect way to experience the beauty of Budapest! Highly recommend!

Save time planning your day in Budapest with this cost-effective combo that lets you explore Tropicarium and enjoy sightseeing on the Danube River.

Wander through enclosures filled with reptiles, insects, and various bird species, all living in habitats designed to resemble their natural homes.

The best part of Tropicarium is its 12-meter long tunnel, which is as long as a public bus, and spot sharks, rays, and jellyfish swimming overhead.

Head over to your next adventure of the day, a day or evening Danube River cruise to see the top spots of Budapest like the Chain Bridge.

Top up your experience with a drink and audio commentary to enhance your experience.

Excellent experience the one made with Legend Cruises;we waited for boarding at the pier in a structure moored on the river,sheltered from the Sun and with sofas and cold water disponibilie(outside temperature was 35C). Modern motorship,on two levels,open on the sides and sheltered.Excellent drink of choice,very useful audio guide to support the monuments and buildings touched by the navigation.Possibility to disembark at Margaret Island and be picked up on one of the subsequent cruises(we had already been to the island,saw two couples boarding again,though). On the return,another non-alcoholic drink offered. The sailing is quiet with photo opportunities,cruise lasted about 80 minutes. Young and helpful staff. Cost of 20 euros per persina absolutely adequate,also for the pre-cruise reception(other companies do not have facilities like this,you stay exposed to the Sun or the weather,if it's okay under a gazebo)

Beautiful views, good service. For me it was a little crowded and I would've liked to know a bit more about what I was seeing (for this reason definitely bring headphones so you can use the app!)

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

Budapest Tropicarium

The Budapest Tropicarium is an engaging indoor zoo that highlights a wide range of ecosystems. Guests can save time by skipping long queues and heading straight to explore lush tropical rainforests and colorful aquariums. Encounter incredible species such as sharks, rays, exotic birds, and reptiles in different settings. Notable features include a large aquarium tunnel, a ray petting zone, and the chance to get up close to rare animals. The Tropicarium also showcases a remarkable variety of amphibians, tropical fish, and a breathtaking coral reef. It is perfect for animal lovers of all ages.

Danube Cruise

With a drink in hand, sail along the Danube River with audio commentary, providing insights to Budapest’s most breathtaking landmarks. Glide past the Hungarian Parliament’s neo-Gothic façade, adorned with spires and topped by a grand red dome. On the opposite bank, see the Buda Castle, its Baroque courtyards perched high on the hill. As you cruise beneath the Chain Bridge, admire its impressive stone pillars and cast-iron chains, a masterpiece of 19th-century engineering. Enjoy seeing the vibrant tiled roof of Matthias Church and the towering dome of St. Stephen’s Basilica.
