Would highly recommend!”

2-hour Danube cruise with a 4-course dinner, welcome prosecco, and live piano music, passing Budapest’s lit landmarks. Starts at sunset.
“Excellent 3 hour boat ride on the Danube. The food was delicious and the piano entertainment was lovely. Don't bother with a window seat booking because all the seats are by the window. The drinks package can be purchased on board if you change your mind and it was actually cheaper this way. Well worth the money for a nice romantic dinner, me and my partner have had a great time.”
A 60-minute Danube sunset cruise from Dock 11 with 2 cocktails, photo-friendly views from the upper deck, and party songs as Budapest lights up.
“Very beautiful views, and delicious alcohol. I recommend it!”
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.”
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 by night, Opera to bridges, plus a 1-hour Danube cruise with a welcome drink and stories from a small-group guide.
“Terrific time shopping and cooking with Kinga and Berti our guides. We had a wonderful electic group of participants in this cooking class which made the experience even more fun. What a delightful and delicious experience! Would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a relaxed approach to food and wine.”
