Had a very enjoyable evening, the orchestral group were highly entertaining, they played music at each table taking requests, boat was nicely decorated and food was ok
The food was good and the on-board entertainment was an added plus. Nice to see the city from the river.
Great food. Amazing music and performances. If you do this in summer you won’t see the buildings lit up as daylight is up until late. So prepare for that.
Disappointing,. Buffet food was less than average. Cruise was average. Not what was expected. Tour description set up higher expectations overall. Will not recommend, feel . Is overpriced .
The route passes many beautiful sights. Food had sufficient variety and was good. Music and entertainment were fun.
The food on this cruise was excellent and we had pretty good service. We enjoyed the music as well but it all felt a bit kitschy. Our biggest mistake was not checking the time of the tour and when the sun would go down. Our primary goal with this tour was to see the buildings along the Danube lit up. Tour ended well before the sun went down.
I generally don't leave bad comments, but skip this one. It was $95/person for a boat ride and some very, very mediocre food. Then, when the bill comes, there is a service charge and a tip for service. Plus, the musicians want a tip. Also, the dancers are waiting at the exit for a tip. The quality showed in that at least 50% of the boat was empty. This is extremely way over priced. You don't even get a free glass of water!!! You have to pay for water. Pick a night cruise or something else. This is a huge NO on value.
We were first in the queue and got shown to our seat, which was up a flight of stairs, and offered a welcome drink. There was no introduction as to what would happen, timings etc. The musicians started first and there was some dancing which was all very good. The buffet dinner was very disappointing however, the quality was mediocre at best. That said, the whole experience of being on the boat, cruising the Danube, taking in the view while the music played was all very enjoyable.
There was a good variety and quantity of food and wine and a large bottle of still or sparkling water is offered to customers when they are seated. However, I would have liked to have had a hot beverage, such as tea or coffee, at the end of the meal, as is customary when dining. Also, there was no time to order a hot beverage or a digestif, as the cruise ship docked very shortly after the dessert and dessert wine were served. The cruise ship only had deck space for viewing of the Buda side of the river during the cruise. I would have liked to have had the opportunity to view the Pest side of the river on deck during the cruise as well.
The dinner and wine pairing is lovely. The music and dancers are very entertaining. It is a lovely scenic dinner tour.
