There was supposed to only be an audio guide but there was Erik an in person guide. He did an excellent job! Amazingly knowledgeable about Hungarys history and the sites we were seeing! If you can request a boat ride with him on board do it.
Not as advertised. No a/c as listed and makes it seem as if the boat is a lot nicer than it is. Also has hanging lights which makes it harder to enjoy the evening sights. And one side of the boat is completely obstructed
Krisztián and Erik both so friendly I enjoyed every second of the cruise
It was crowd, and cannot see well with half of the seats. If you squeeze to the front, you may be able to catch some good photos It worth to try other boats that offer drinks or food, which may have a better quality
The boat was not in the place they indicate. I booked the boat last night for the 22:00 time slot and upon arriving at the meeting point, there was no one there. The taxi driver who took me there told me that they are accustomed to pulling that type of scam. I tried to recover the money I paid. But the scam was complete and I had neither a boat nor a refund.
We’re very sorry to hear about your experience. Could you please let us know if you contacted our customer service team regarding this issue? We’d be happy to look into the matter and review what happened.
I had the best experience ever when it comes to a guided tour. The tour guide, Eric, has an outstanding historic knowledge and it was amazing to find out so many information about the local history and not only. The atmosphere was calm, few people which made the experience even better so there were no distractions during the tour. I will definitely recommend the tour to any of my acquaintances visiting Budapest and especially to book a tour with Eric.
A very crowded cruise. We paid for 5 tickets but only managed to get 4 seats. Was expecting to see the parliament building lit up at night but it didn't happen.
We arrived in Budapest the same day they turned off the lights, and we couldn't cancel the cruise because we were unaware of the situation. Since it was at ten at night, we proposed to them at least moving the cruise up an hour so we could see something. They wanted to charge us 50% more for it. The only point was to see Budapest at night, so we didn't see anything, everything was dark...the promoters should have canceled the activity and refunded the money. A total scam
Really pretty at night! Get there at least 30 mins early if you want a better view (the line gets long during summer or peak travel).
Truly awful, the boat was like a floating pontoon with a shed full of flies at the end selling drinks. The floating pontoon was full of local youths misbehaving. There was no sightseeing and there was no audio guide. We drove up the river for 20 minutes and then drove back down. When the ‘captain’ got back within 40 minutes, he realised and we just drifted into the river for a bit before returning to the dock. We were on the ‘boat’ for an hour, but most of that was queuing to get off. There are lovely boats on the Danube, this is not one of them.
