Great boat trip on Danuby in Budapest. Recommend! - Great boat trip on Danuby in Budapest. Excellent facilities. Very modern boat. Wonderful weather. Great commentary (in 30 languages). Glass of champagne to welcome us. Helpful friendly staff. Saw all main riverside venues. Only 12 pounds each!! (at time of writing). Extremely good value. Allowed you to stop off at Margeret Island for a walk as long as you like and catch whatever is next boat back (every 45 minutes). Highly recommend this trip particularly on a sunny day! Also had orange and limonade on way back!
