Cruising in luxury and style - Legenda boat cruise company of Budapest is the best. This is the best cruise company to book for your luxury boat cruising on Danube in Budapest. I was worried by reading some bad reviews of other boat cruise companies. This boat cruising is first class in a luxury boat. From the moment you step in their pontoon you know you are with the best. The staff the service and the boat / ship quality is second to non. If you are looking to do a cruising of Danube in style and luxury book this and arrive 45 min early. Audio guide was very good too. If you have any issues ask staff to fix it.

Great views from the Danube of the magnificent buildings - do it at dusk and prebook - Booked the evening river cruise direct at the quayside - dock 6. This was about £20 which included a free glass of wine, prosecco or soft drink. Earbuds for multilingual commentary which didn't work. Awesome views of the castle and the massive parliament building, especially as darkness fell, plus the main bridges, as well as all the other river traffic. Take a jacket as it can get a little cool on the river, even though the boat doesn't go very fast. Proseccor was nice too. Would highly recommend booking tickets in advance and timing your cruise so you get to see the dusk and darkness falling - it's the best time. Also arrive early at the dock.

Parliament buildings are equally magnificent at night! - This was a fab experience. We are both so glad that we went for the late night cruise in the dark because seeing the magnificent buildings lit up was an incredible experience and having a lovely glass of champagne really helped to make it feel like a luxury experience. The staff were lovely and helpful and it was one if the top highlights of our trip.

Good experience but not spectacular - Recommend arriving early if you are taking the night time cruise. We took the 8:20 pm one and the buildings didn’t light up until almost the end of the cruise. When we got off at 9:20 pm, the line for the next cruise was crazy. The experience overall was good. The cruise has audio and video. However the video and audio doesn’t necessarily sync up with the actual trip as some times they are showing something that the cruise has not passed. There is only one drink per person. It got a little cold so I recommend bringing a light jacket.

To do - The illuminated buildings were magical. You should remember to dress warmly in the evening even if the boat is covered. Must see

Great way to see the sights - I thought this cruise was the perfect length. My family and I went at 8PM at the end of April so right as the sun was setting. We got amazing pictures of the Parliament all lit up towards the end of the cruise when it was completely dark. The boat moves slowly enough that you get plenty of time to appreciate the sights and take pictures, but fast enough that you don't feel stuck on a boat for your whole night. The staff were very welcoming.
