A magical evening cruise on the Danube aboard a cozy, well-kept boat with a panoramic deck. The city lights were stunning, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy a full view of Budapest, especially those who don’t have much time to explore the city on foot. Truly something special

The tour and the fact that you can buy food and drinks on board. The price is very good too. The only thing I would add would be seats for the time you wait before boarding the cruise.

The thermal baths in Budapest are spectacular! 💙 We had a truly unforgettable experience. The baths were beautiful, meticulously designed and immersed in an elegant and relaxing atmosphere. Between the hot outdoor pools, indoor thermal baths and moments of pure relaxation, we felt pampered from start to finish. The setting is charming, almost timeless, perfect for relaxing as a couple or enjoying a special moment during your trip. The warm water, especially in the outdoor pools, offers a unique sensation, even more fascinating if you visit in winter. It was one of the most beautiful experiences of our stay in Budapest and definitely a memory we will cherish. If we return to the city, it would be a must-see. Highly recommended! ✨

Everything was great, the cruise was spectacular, we loved the spa and the surroundings were wonderful. Being in an outdoor pool when it was 8 degrees outside was strange but very cool. It was very easy to book the package and at a very good price.
