Budapest · DANUBE SIGHTSEEING CRUISES

“The audio guide on the boat was good, we learnt lots about the history of Budapest. Thr arrival/waiting space was nice as it was indoors, lots of cruises have people lining up along the river bank. it's very popular so our boat was full, and when asked to board there was lots of pushing as people tousled to secure the best seats. the two young girls on the desks trying to scan tickets had a really tough time trying to ensure everyone had tickets due to the pushing. but otherwise the cruise itself was great!”

“It was a very pleasant evening cruise on the Danube. All the sights were clearly visible. Drinks were served and tasted good. Unfortunately, it was a bit cold on the boat; it could definitely be warmer. However, the waiting area was warm, and we didn't have to wait in the cold like at other docks. I would recommend this tour to everyone and would book it again anytime.”

1-hour Danube cruise in Budapest with included Tokaj Frizzante, phone audio guide, blankets, Wi-Fi, and nonstop landmark views.
“A must do when you get to Budapest. We booked the 6pm trip. Got there around ten minutes before. We were welcomed with a glass of prosecco each or you could have had a juice. We sat inside as it started to rain but you could still see everything and it was very cosy. Some of the boats doing trips are really big and some looked like party boats. This however was a lovely relaxed trip with friendly welcoming staff. We ordered another drink each and some chips and pretzels and that was enough for the 1 hour journey. When I am back in beautiful Budapest I will certainly book…”

“It was a nice tour. We had very short time at each stop to enjoy the scenery and for photoshoot. We didn’t have time to visit the castle and churches. Our guide was very nice and friendly though. I only recommend people to join this tour if you have limited time in Budapest, then it is worth it, you get to see all the beautiful places. However, I think Budapest has a lot to offer and plan a 3 days trip would be better to learn the cultures and history.”

“it would be better to improve the signs on site, and clearer information on the reservation as per the name of the boat and which dock to arrive at.”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
