Lovely evening cruise! - I did A LOT of research before choosing this river cruise option and I’m glad I picked this one! We enjoyed the live music, the food looked and smelled great (we didn’t purchase a dinner ticket so I can’t speak to the taste), and the views of the city lit up at night were breathtaking. It was a little difficult to find the dock in the dark but once we were on the ship we really enjoyed it. I definitely recommend this trip option - several of the other boats we passed while cruising looked sad and boring by comparison. Our trip was in November and even though it was cold out on the decks (we bundled up when we went outside) it was very comfortable and warm inside. We had our own table for the night and could move freely from inside to outside and back as much as we wanted. Thanks for a great trip!

Worth it - Very nice and romantic, the dinner we made apart very well too and well priced. Goulash, typical Hungarian dish.

Unreliable description - Be careful, what it includes is not well described, it is also overpriced, investigate first with city tours that include the same at best price or even included in your city pass ticket

The live music and... - The live music and dancing is fun. But the waiting stuff were really lame. If you have a question about the tour itself they were just like: “I don’t know” or gave the wrong answer. I won’t recommend it and I won’t come back again. I recommend to choose another tour.

Give me my money back!!! - I was here with my family six months ago, we had a great time. Now it's a terrible scam. We bought tickets for a musical evening, now we got 15 minutes instead of an evening. This wasn't the case six months ago! We only chose the place for the musicians, along with a delicious drink. A terrible rip-off!
