We had a great experience with Mahart Cruises sailing on Danube River in Budapest. Seats are comfy, very relaxing. Our boat left on time and finished after 50 mins exactly as described. Literally highlight of our trip as you get to see a mostly all of the important landmarks for your budapest trip. Highly recommended. Thank you!
