- Highlight of our trip! Dinner, performances and music - I was hopeful that at least one of these would be worth it. Turns out EVERYTHING was terrific and this was the highlight of our trip. The folk dancers were good fun, the musicians top notch and the food was excellent! We were able to try several Hungarian dishes and they were all excellent. Better than many restaurants we had been to. A very nice surprise for us. Definitely go, you won't be disappointed!

A bit pricey as you will be paying for the beautiful views, good food and entertainment. - The cruise was nice. We were able to see the famous landmarks from the river view, which made it nice. The service, food and entertainment were also really good. It is a bit pricey but no real regrets. Just know that the cruise doesn’t go very far so if you were hoping to see a longer portion of the river, this is not for you.

Just OK nothing special - Cruise was OK. Just nothing special. Dance performance was good. Food was one of the worst I ever had, no flavors at all. Don’t buy Dinner Option!

Not worth the money - I was expecting to sit and enjoy performance and music and dinner! I paid 111 for 3 course meal! I was seated at the back where i couldn’t see the performance and the experience was too expensive for the value! They said that is for more money!! I would just go to cruise and drink for $40

Cruise of little interest - There's no point making four round trips on the danube between 7:00 and 9:00. Since there is no illumination of the city. The waiters don’t take care of you, the music is very bad and the dancers do not dance or very little. The meal is good but the atmosphere is very noisy and therefore little interest.! You can do all this from the Port.
