Event wasn’t actually on!!!
Even though we only booked the month before the booking was invalid as they don’t operate on a Monday. Only found out when got there and o phoned up. Annoying as viator contacted us day before saying looking forward to our visit. Full refund but wasted evening!!!

Somewhat disappointed
Took a taxi from our hotel to the location which had a major power outage and found a note that the performance was moved onto a river cruise 2 1/2 hours later which interfered with our scheduled plans. Now had to taxi yo another location. The river cruise was nice and unexpected, the musicians were great as well as the couple that danced a few routines. My expectation was we would see many dancers performing many different styles of their culture over the 90 minute show.

Relaxing Evening
Performers are engaged and atmospheric, the musical interplay is also a classic; if the dance time can be more, or add a few explanations is better! Interaction with the audience is also appreciated!

Few dances but Good Welcoming
Very few dances, no room for a real show. Musicians play music that may please guests but they are international hits and not Hungarian music. Everything drags on in the hope of getting the audience to consume. The dancers are excellent and the establishment is good enough in itself.
