It was a beautiful experience. The illuminated Parliament is spectacular. On the boat, unfortunately, there was not all the free space on the open-air roof, only half of it, so not everyone could look out over the river or take pictures without the presence of other people. However, the monuments could still be seen wellView original review in Italian

It says tour with audio guide but none of us had that. It is a tour of the Danube in a closed boat designed for you to sit and consume drinks and food during it, if you want to enjoy the panoramic views of the city you have to be turned all the time as the seats are not facing the views but backwards. I do not recommend it at all if you are looking for a guided tour to get to know the city.View original review in Spanish

I hadn't understood that the audioguide had to be downloaded onto your own device, and that headphones were therefore a prerequisite. Even though I reread the confirmation email, this information was not made sufficiently clear. The proof is that I saw hardly any other passengers listening to the audioguide. Listening to it afterwards, the content is interesting.View original review in French

Beautiful cruise on the Danube taken at 7 p.m. on March 8 when it was already dark so you could see the illuminations of the major sites in Budapest, from Freedom Bridge to the Parliament. Great atmosphere xbecause the lights off give way to photograph the sites without the reflections. Great bar on board for a drinkView original review in Italian
Cruise Along the Danube
Marvel at the wonderful sights of Budapest on the Danube as you enjoy this 1-hour cruise. See the hidden nature of the riverbanks from this sightseeing cruise that one can only see from the water. Bridges over the River Danube were built in many rounds. Take in the fascinating architecture of the Chain Bridge and the Margaret Bridge. Passing by Margaret Island will allow you to see locals walking and jogging on this calm and relaxing favorite getaway within the city.
Sail Past Famous Bridges
The evening sightseeing cruise will continue under two famous bridges, including the Chain Bridge with illuminated guardian lions on either street side. See the beauty of the Buda castle, the residence of Hungarian Kings, and the opulence of the Matthias Church, characterized by its neo-Gothic style. On the Buda side of the river, you can see the statue of Szent Gellért after whom the hill was named. On top of the hill, you will see the beautiful Hungarian woman, Citadella, standing proud with her arms open. Imagine these sights in the soft glow of the lights at night.
