Overall rating

Excellent evening. Boat was very smart with cushioned seats and tables for two or four people. Boat was limited in number so everyone had a good view of the lit up sights. Musicians played a variety of music and went around the boat taking requests. A free glass of Prosecco was haded out on arrival. Bar available for further drinks.

Worth a try. Had a great experience with a reasonable cost during the night. Interior was old school classic style and you can have good spots to capture pictures and have a great view.

Muito bom, adoramos a vista noturna dos principais pontos turísticos de Budapeste! Os músicos e dançarinos são ótimos animados
