Fantastic evening!

Excellent 2 hour dinner cruise along the Danube. The food was superb, entertainment was lovely, both from the traditional dancing to the wonderful musicians. Of course the views as we travelled were spectacular and we honestly thought it was brilliant value for money.

Very good memories

We really enjoyed it; the dancers give their all, and the view at night is fantastic. The meal was very good and hearty. A very, very good memory. Just don't take the red bean brownie. It's not good and too heavy at the end of the meal.

Seeing the city at night...

Seeing the city at night was spectacular. The views were breathtaking, and seeing both sides of the city lit up at night was terrific. This boat tour was one of the highlights of our trip. However, the food was uninspiring, and it would have been nice to know that if we wanted a window seat, that it had to be reserved in advance. This fact should be made clear when the tour is booked (included in the description of the tour).

Book it! Beautiful views and a good meal.

The good: Surprisingly, the food was better than our expectations. We enjoyed our meals, we had the meat dishes, the fish, and the vegetarian meals. Desserts were meh. The cocktails were very tasty (and strong). The atmosphere was classy, and mostly all adults (not a party excursion). The boat made two passes by the Parliament building, plenty of opportunity for pictures. The not-so-great: Cocktail prices are high, as they are everywhere in Budapest. There is not an open top deck for observation. The only space is a small spot at the front of the boat and at the back. Overall, a worthwhile excursion! It was worth seeing the city at night from river and eating a decent meal.
