Great night cruise in Budapest.
This was a perfect way to see the beautiful city of Budapest at night. The tour was just the right length and the crew was very friendly and on top of their guests needs. The only issue was the late change of the dock location, which had to be known for several days/weeks, but was changed 4 hours prior to departure. We got the message, but I’m guessing many would not.
