Pretty ride but to short and too expensive
Nice boat ride, but to short for the price, and the audio guide was out of sync, speaking about places we were not near, not even explaining where to look, very confusing.
E
Good views - free drink
We purchased our tickets from Viator trip advisor / the bar codes wouldn’t scan when we tried to get on the boat so we had to go back to the boats ticket booth and get a ticket from them - lost our place in line and ended up back of the line / so don’t make my mistake and go get a ticket for your trip advisor ticket from their counter first. The headphones connect to 5-6 different languages. You go up the river for a bit, turn around and go back - good history and you get to see pretty much all the key sights at sunset. Cold beer and wine/ sodas are free (for 1 pp). Toilets are on board. Lasts for 60 minutes. We enjoyed it.

Great experience
Really enjoyable experience. I really appreciated the sunset vistas, and there was a complimentary drink as well as a bonus!
L
Great walk
Very nice cruise with an audio guide available in 30 languages and complimentary drinks. Tour of over an hour in front of the main buildings. Comfortable seat, just a bit warm in the full sun.
G
Would not go again
The recording was really poor cutting in and out and making noise so I didn’t get to find out about any of the buildings along the Danube - one cheap glass of drink- staff seemed new, the Danube was not lit at our 7.30 - 8.30pm trip so it was just a up and down the river trip
Operator response
We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us identify areas where we can improve. Your comments have been noted and will be taken into consideration as part of our ongoing efforts to enhance the overall guest experience. This cruise is scheduled around sunset, offering guests the opportunity to enjoy the changing colours of the sky and the city during the transition from day to night. As a result, the city may not yet be illuminated, and weather conditions can also influence the overall atmosphere. Hope to see you again sometime!
