Full description

Discover Budapest on a sightseeing cruise along the River Danube. Relax as you pass by some of the city's most notable landmarks as you sip on a complimentary welcome drink (a glass of prosecco, a seasonal welcome drink, or a soft drink).

Climb aboard the pleasure boat at the pier of Budapest's Szent István Park and receive your welcome beverage. Then, cruise down the River Danube, and pass monuments such as the National Parliament, Buda Castle, and the Várkert Bazár, recently restored to its original splendor. Head to the open deck for perfect views of the illuminated Vigadó Concert Hall, or look at the floodlit monuments between the Margaret Bridge and Rákóczi Bridge from the comfort of an air-conditioned deck with panoramic windows. Experience the city more like a local - although there are no audio or live guides on board the boat, it functions as a floating coffee house or pub experience with its own bar 

Includes
  • Boat cruise through downtown Budapest
  • 1 welcome drink
  • Wi-Fi
  • Additional food and drinks (available for purchase on board)
  • Live tour guide

One of the best boat cruises. Honestly such a bargain! At first we were a little worried because it looked like it was going to be overbooked and you won’t be able to get proper photos, however we couldn’t be more wrong! You get a glass of Prosecco/ soft drink on arrival with option to purchase more. Definitely would do it again!

It was very nice, although it was crodwy so we needed to wait little bit longer to get in and get out. And I must say that we were little bit dissapointed because ride is not 1 hour, but 50 minutes. Try to get taxi (Bolt) to get here because it will take you long if you decide to go on foot (like we did :P). Welcome drink was very good! For this price I can say that I am overall satisfied, the view during night is just wow! Parliament impressed me.

This experience was incredible and worth every penny! The only con unfortunately is something out of the cruise operator control but could somehow be addressed with potential guests: the queue jumping. It was very disrespectful. We were 2 and chose the last cruise of the day (08:40pm), we arrived before 8pm to be able to go in first and chose seats. There were already 6 people in line, divided in 2 groups. As dozens of more people started arriving everybody just started jumping the queue and disrespecting the order of arrival. People who got there before us were thrown to the back of the line and we would have been too if we didn't say anything.
