Very good!

Very nice river cruise on a charming boat! A great way to see the city, and it was good that there was an audio guide available in several languages. Remember earplugs if you want to listen, not just read. Good selection of drinks you can buy on the cruise for a reasonable price too. I recommend this!

At the last second
robertaolimpiam, October 2026
Cruise decided at the last second.
Arriving at the pier, we took the last Danube cruise directly from the operator. Fortunately, there was space.
Welcomed with a welcome drink, we were able to enjoy Budapest by night... and for the crisp evening air, we found comfortable and warm blankets on board.
Highly recommended
