Really enjoyed the cruise. Food was well cooked and tasty. Music and dancers were really good. Plenty of space to move around and can go up on outer deck to get some great views

Its a lottery....great if you get a clear window
I so looked forward to this dinner cruise to celebrate our 28th wedding anniversary. Paid £150 for 2 and although the food was lovely and service good we were VERY disppointed to be sat at the back of the boat where you could NOT see out the windows ! The film on windows meant you couldnt see out but you could see in !???? Even though there were tables free at the front of the boat that had clear windows ! We were still seated at the back. We also missed the entire entertainment of dancing ! The whole point of a river dinner cruise was the passing view through the window So disappointed. So its a lottery really if you book. Reccomend they remove film from windows ! Simply solution to what would have been a great trip.

Fantastic
Great treatment from the staff, good food, good music. Relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. The traditional dance show was entertaining and their interactions with the audience were fun.
V
Nice experience
Really enjoyed the cruise. Nice views, good food and friendly staff. Worth doing if you’re visiting Budapest.
B
Worth for the panorama
Went with friends we haven't seen in a while, it was a great experience, I'm glad we met up here. Between courses you can go up to the upper deck to take in the Budapest panorama. Staff was helpful, they gave us hints about when we had a little extra time to go up before the next course :)

Budapest Dinner Cruise
Very nice evening, especially for the view! Food was fine, service was friendly and the cruise passed the main sights at a good pace. The bridges looked wonderful after dark!
D
Great experience
This was one of the better things we did in Budapest. Dinner, music and sightseeing worked well together. The staff were pleasant and the whole evening felt smooth.

Terrible experience
Terrible, the line was miles long, we had tickets for 7:30 PM and it took us hours to board, as the boat was filling up and we could not get on until the previous one returned. A scam
M
Charming dinner
A very nice experience, seeing all the monuments illuminated with their special charm, a good dinner and well enlivened with live music and dancers
N
Disappointing experience
I paid for a service we didn't get. The menu was different from the one ordered and we were put in an area where you could not see the music or the show. Really bad.
