A short Budapest Danube cruise with an included drink, 30-language audio guide, WiFi, and free time to explore Margaret Island.
“The tour was very nice, goes through the city with eccentric views. Headphones are provided to listen to an audio that's available in several languages, which commented in detail on the history of each architecture we passed by. Beverages and champagne were also offered ✌️😉👍”
60-minute Danube cruise from Purpleliner, passing Parliament, Chain Bridge, Buda Castle and more, with a 6-language phone audio guide.
“We had a good view and saw the important sights of Budapest and the service was nice.”
Explore the Hungarian Parliament Building with a clear audio guide and headset, see the Dome Hall and Holy Crown, then add the Parliament Museum.
“We booked this tour because Parliament tickets were unavailable during our travel dates. This wasn’t a guided tour through Viator as such—rather, it was a ticket purchase service, which was handled promptly. Once there, we explored using the site’s provided audio guide.”
1-hour Danube panorama cruise in Budapest with Tokaj Frizzante or OJ, heated cabin, blankets, and a phone audio guide.
“I was dissapointed as having purchased my tickets online in advanced, when we reached the dock, there were many tourist who were just purchasing their ticket there And they were let in before everyone who already had their paid tickets. Of course upstairs was overly crowded. Wasnt worth the 98$. Afterwards we went to the parliament building and took beautiful photos right there infront. It would have been nice to let the paid tickets in before those reaching there to buy tix at that time”
Take a 19th-century paddle steamer on a 1-hour Danube cruise from Budapest, with Tokaj, heated comfort, and a phone audio guide.
“Excellent cruise would highly recommend. Easy to find the boat. The staff were great and very informative.”
Budapest Danube night audio guide cruise with sunset and day options, seeing Chain Bridge, Parliament, Gellért Hill, and more in about an hour.
“For the price you can’t beat this night cruise. The only thing I wished I knew is that you should plan on getting in line 30 minutes before sailing if you want to get a seat that is easy to see the sights (top deck) the main deck is enclosed, and the seating doesn’t make it easy to take pictures unless you get up and hope for a empty spot to get to a window.”
One hour on the Danube in Budapest with an English audio guide app, open-air views, and classic bridges, Parliament, and hilltop sights.
“I misunderstood though - I thought there’d be someone talking about the buildings & history of Buda & Pest. (Although to be fair to the company - it doesn’t advertise this) So we got some lovely photos - but no “tourist info””
A 1-hour Budapest Danube sunset or night cruise with a downloadable audio guide, passing Chain Bridge, Parliament, Gellert Hill, and more.
“The boat was huge and there was a very long line waiting standing to get good seats. The description said that the boat is airconditioned but it wasn't and it was very very hot inside. The upside was the purpleliner audio guide app that gave some short information about what we see.”
Budapest bus-and-boat highlights with a guided city route, Danube cruise audio in 30 languages, free drink and WiFi, plus value at $64.88.
“It looks like a good tour but my friend and I had the bad experience that the tour left us in the second stop and did not complete the itinerary. Terrible experience!!!”
