Excellent! - The boat was clean and felt safe, the crew was friendly, the drinks that were included were good, and the commentary available in different languages was great. I would definitely recommend this cruise, including getting off at Margaret Island and staying for at least one or two more boat trips which are 45 minutes each.

Great way to visit Margaret island! - The boat tour was great! The audio tour guide is included in the seats on the boat, with headphones available. We toured north up to Margaret Island, and were let off to explore it. The boat comes back about ever 45 minutes (depending on the season), and you can hop back on any boat you’d like, or stay on your original if you don’t want to visit. The boat returns back to the original dock at the end.

Budapest cruise - very good experience! - Very good cruise option, check-in in easy place (close the city center), on deck a drink (you can choose: beef, wine, prosseco), you can take a break on Margit island after 45 minutes you could back to city center by next cruise. Perfect, I can recom honest;)

Great views and Margaret Island stop, but some downsides - The Danube river cruise was a lovely experience overall — the ride was refreshing and the views along the river were beautiful. A highlight for me was the optional 45-minute stop at Margaret Island. The Japanese garden there was peaceful, with ponds, flowers, and greenery that made for a very relaxing break from the city. However, the organization could be better. I arrived 15 minutes before departure as instructed and waited at the meeting point, but no one came to meet us. Only a few minutes before departure did I realize that we were supposed to go straight down to the gate, where tickets were checked and boarding took place. Clearer instructions would have made this much smoother. Also, while the cruise advertised audio guides, I decided not to use them because the headphones were reused from previous passengers and not sanitized — some were even left hanging from the seats. I think this is something that definitely needs improvement. Overall, the cruise is worth it for the scenery and the Margaret Island stop, but I hope the organizers improve communication and hygiene to make the experience even better.

Relaxing view of the city - On a warm 26°C day, there was no better way to spend the afternoon than boarding an open-top boat and sailing down the Danube. Both banks of the river are immersed in history, and the cruise offered a front-row view of it all. We glided under elegant bridges, past the imposing Castle, limestone cliffs, historic churches, and of course, the mix of modern architecture that now lines the waterfront. The journey was guided by an informative audio system available in a wide variety of languages, making it easy for everyone on board to follow along. The crew added to the experience with their warm hospitality, serving complimentary drinks with a smile. In just 1.5 hours, the time flew by, leaving us with a gallery of unforgettable vistas of this beautiful city, steeped in centuries of history. It was the perfect way to appreciate both the grandeur and charm of the Danube and the city it embraces.

Another perspective to see Budapest - Very hot during the boat trip. On the other hand an excursion that must be carried out mainly as a couple. A way to see Budapest from another perspective.

Absolute Waste of Money - Essentially, this cruise was awful. They didn't have any form of crowd control at the entry and so people were pushing and shoving to get through ticketing and this one woman pulled my hair but she swore it was an accident. The cruise lasted barely an hour, and they sped up and down the river one lap. We were packed in like cattle and the windows were smudged and dirty. The belles of the ball was this horribly trashy family that had like six boys and they were climbing all over the seats, wrestling, leaving trash, spilling food everywhere, yelling, and such. At one point they break a glass. Staff do nothing. I can barely hear the audio-guide because it's on 2002-era headsets that had not been cleaned or replaced prior to our "boarding". Children ran around and screamed the entire time. The ticket was about 35 USD. Absolute waste of money.
