Brilliant experience - Wonderful, unique experience with outstanding food and service. Can’t recommend this cruise enough, boarding was great, really easy, food is 5 star quality and the staff really our attentive. Really enjoyed this tour and you get an extra drink if you fill in survey. The cruise takes you to all the famous points in the river. Worth the money.

A Must! - A must when visiting Budapest. The boat was clean and the staff very friendly. Honestly surprised at how good the food was. Scallops as an appetizer that were absolutely fantastic. We had excellent service and you could not beat the view! Book early and request a window seat. A truly lovely evening in Budapest!

Excellent guided tour - A great way of covering so many sights around the city. Gives you a good idea of particular attractions to go back to, which we did after the tour. Robert was an excellent guide and tailored our journey to areas of the city we had not yet visited.

Special night. - It's awesome!!! The experience is very positive. When you arrive you wait in a reserved lounge, you are accompanied to your table and you are all the time attended. The atmosphere is very good. Frankly good food, much better than expected. It is four courses to choose between five or six. There's a welcome drink. Although the drink is not included the prices are not bad at all. There are good wines. Of course the views are excellent. Two and a half hours along the Danube taking several passes through the landmark areas. As we passed through Parliament we went to the stern to take pictures and contemplate beauty. It's definitely worth it, it's expensive but it's worth it. If you can, don't hesitate.

Excellent food, Good Experience and Service - Great cruise to go on with good food, music and service. It was easy to book beforehand through Trip Advisor and no problems when we got to board. Excellent food and not too large a boat. Good service as well and the music was not over powering and excellent singers.

It was a nice way to... - It was a nice way to spend an evening. The music and food were excellent. The service was good however when clearing our plates, a server knocked and smashed my wine glass. While the glass was not full, it was not empty however there was no offer of a replacement glass. I thought that this was very poor customer service. They seemed more intent on getting the food out and indeed it was the musician who actually cleared up a lot of the broken glass.
