Romantic 50min cruise to see glorious lights of Budapest. - Very comfortable vessel. We sat at the stern to get uninterrupted views of the lights of Budapest. In early June, sunset was about 830pm and lights came on at 9pm. So I suggest the 845pm or 10pm cruise in summer.
Welcome drink of Prosecco was nice. Or non alcoholic fruit punch.
No commentary however.

Relaxing 50min cruise taking in the best sights of Budapest. - Lovely way to see the city from the river. Recommend 845pm in June as lights come on at 9pm. Dock 42 is a long way from centre of city so need a Bolt taxi if staying near Chain Bridge. But the advantage of Dock 42 is the full length of the river from north to south. Welcome drink was also nice.

Phenomenal - We had a great time on the tour. I recommend booking the 8:45pm tour, as that is when the sun is setting and by the time the tour has finished, it is dark and the buildings are all lit up. Such a good price (£9 each) and a must do in Budapest.

Beautiful Danube river cruise - Great boat trip up the Danube River some beautiful sites to see we had to meet at dock42 which was very easy to find but a bit of a free for all with people who have no manners and don’t understand queuing, maybe if there was a barrier system where people had to queue behind it would make a more pleasant experience The boat trip it’s self was a great evening

Couple's holiday. Evening cruise on the Danube. Definitely satisfying. - Splendid view. Beautiful Budapest. Excellent organization and a nice surprise to be welcomed with an aperitif. Both Donatella and I were very satisfied.

Nice but could have easily been better. - Boat tour was as advertised. I do wish the boat captain moved or changed speeds so we weren't parallel to other boats as we came to the major sites. That was a bummer.
I would do it again, and the nighttime was beautiful. Just make sure that if you go late, you have public transportation options as the metro and bus close earlier depending on your route.

Evening Cruise - A simple no frills cruise down the river of Budapest with a drink of your choice. Lowest price so far.

Just okay. - Meh. The dock is quite far from the center so figure on a $10 taxi fare each way. Explains the lower cost of this boat ride. No tour or audio explanation. Just a ride up and down the river. Left 15 minutes late. Free drink is 5% alcohol wine.

Good views but experience not great. - Cruise was pretty packed with tourists, very no frills experience. Sat on a bench at the back of the top deck with a good view which just resulted in other tourists leaning over to take photos and selfies with no regard for my personal space. Do not go if you don't like small spaces.

Waste of money - Waste of money! There was no commentary so it was impossible to tell what the buildings were without opening Google maps and spending half the time looking at a screen
