Nice views but descriptions isn't accurate - Pro: great views after sunset (we booked the tour at 20:20), easy and comfortable boarding
Con: the cruise was scheduled at 20:15 but we started 7-10 min later, the cruise was supposed to go for 70 min but in fact it was only 50 min

Budapest from the Danube in the evening - Well worth going on the early evening cruise as the sun sets.
Budapest and the Danube look enchanting when the lights come on, a truly memorable experience

Very basic tour with no commentary in a run-down boat. Very average. - The boat trip was OK but nothing special. The actual boat was tired looking and there were not enough seats for everyone to be on the top deck so many were squashed at the front or back. 1 glass of bad white wine.
The biggest issue i had is that there was zero commentary. So we are passing some lovely buildings lit up at night but no commentary at all.
For me, i wouldn't do it again or perhaps choose another tour that is a little more informative.
