Budapest Evening Cruise with Drink Options
Description
Sail beneath all 6 of Budapest’s legendary bridges and soak in the city’s rich history and culture from the most stunning vantage point — the water. Make the experience your own by choosing your favorite drinks, whether it’s a refreshing beer, a glass of fine wine, or a soft drink to enjoy along the way. Discover why Budapest is known as one of Europe’s most beautiful cities as you pass a dazzling collection of UNESCO World Heritage sites. On the Buda side, take in the majestic Buda Castle, the fairytale-like Fisherman’s Bastion, Gellért Hill, and the impressive Citadella. Across the river, admire the magnificent Parliament Building and the striking Müpa Budapest building, all glowing in spectacular evening lights. Relax in the comfort of an air-conditioned cabin or step onto the open-air deck for a panoramic, picture-perfect view of Budapest by night. This is more than a cruise, it’s a romantic and unforgettable experience you won’t want to miss.

If you choose to go on this tour, make sure you go early if you want to sit on the outside. We arrived 25 minutes prior and we got the last two seats outside. Once the cruise gets going people come from the inside and stand in front of the people sitting. Seems like the dinner and dancing inside was fine but we just did the cruise with one drink option. I am not sure why language was noted for this cruise as there was no announcements about what you were seeing. There was an app you could download but it only spoke about 8 of the sites you saw on the 90 minute cruise.
We could not find the boat on Dock 2 at the specified time, therefore we missed our experience. I kindly asked for a refund, contacting time company twice, however they refused to do that and now I‘ve wasted 34€. This is seriously outrageous.
We are very sorry to hear that you did not manage to join us. We are unfortunately unable to offer you a refund for this, but please contact my colleagues at frontoffice[at]hungariagroup[dot]com and they can change your reservation for another date and time.
Best tour for Budapest, although the people were little rude. Too many options too
We are glad you enjoyed the tour! We sincerely apologize for the issues with staff behavior and any confusion with our options, and we will work on improving both. Thank you for your feedback, and we hope to welcome you back for a better experience!
The boat trip is highly recommended. We took the cruise at 7:00 PM and we liked it a lot, but we couldn't see the illuminated buildings, which they turn on at 9:00 PM.
Thank you for the high recommendation! We are glad you really enjoyed the 7:00 p.m. cruise. We appreciate your note regarding the city's building illumination times, and we hope to welcome you back again soon for a late-evening cruise!
It was crowded with a long line to get seated however the tour was well organized and well staffed. Good live music and best of all there was air conditioning on the boat! There was no roof top and limited seating on the outside of the boat. Overall for the price paid, it was a steal!
Thank you for the review! We are glad you found the tour well-organized, enjoyed the live music and AC, and felt it was great value. We appreciate your feedback regarding the seating layout and line, and we hope to welcome you back on board soon!
Great cruise,easy to find,good commentary. Drink choice very good and served as boat was underway.
It is a great activity to be able to view the city of Budapest from the water. The outdoor seats provide a good overview of the city and offer a beautiful view of the most famous sights. The atmosphere is very beautiful, especially in the evening. I can recommend this experience.
10/10 rating. We were a group of 6, 4 adults and 2 teenagers and there was something for everyone. We all loved it!
Be on the boat a bit earlier in order to catch a nice place for the cruise. ////////////////////////55
Great view on the 7 pm tour. Regardless of what side of the boat you are on, you will have a fabulous time. I enjoyed a bottle of wine with live music and the best scenery. My 86 year old father was easy to manage boarding and disembarking. Staff was wonderful! My 18 year old daughter enjoyed it as well.
