Absolutely incredible experience. It was very emotional, the concert was incredible, great value for money and the staff were amazing. A beautiful boat with stunning views and the food was divine. You got a song choice and a special serenade at your table too. Very romantic and special. The best night we had in Budapest. Highly, highly recommend. It was great that you could just relax and go as you please from the food, to the bar, to your table, to watching the music closely, to the outside deck with your drink and back. We didn't want it to end! My only negative, very mild, criticism that it felt like we had to be fast with the courses so that all of the strudel and bread hadn't gone before we were full. The goulash soup and stew was incredible. Beautiful wines and cocktails and a comfy and intimate setting with a welcome drink and amazing staff. Great that we could include hotel pick up too!

We loved the river boat cruise. We got to see the beautiful sights on the Danube River on our first night in the city. We also enjoyed some delicious Hungarian food. We loved the beautiful violin trio that played during the trip. Incredibly talented and truly brought the environment to the next level. It was a wonderful experience!

The cruise was very enjoyable and seeing the beautiful buildings on the Danube all lit up was breathtaking. Music was quite good and entertaining. Service was very good. The ship itself was pretty nice. Food was pretty mediocre but the glass if Champaign was a nice touch. Overall enjoyable.
