Best at night time and get in early - Overall it was a good experience and the boat was nicer than the others. Be warned if you want to sit up the top especially on the comfortable furniture you need to be there at least 1 hr prior to your booking. This was the case for the 8pm cruise. Even then there was obnoxious people who got there at least 25 mins after we did and insisted on forcing the women at the front to them go ahead of 15 of us claiming they had been there longer and lined up on the wrong side. The company really should have clear signage on where to line for what time. There was people lining up in our queue for another cruise not realizing.

5 star with pre-planning - My wife and I went on the 8PM a summertime evening tour and read the reviews before going to be prepared. I gave a 5 star because the reviews made the experience worth it. Please read on: This boat has about 30 cushioned seats on the top deck in the front, 24ish 4-person table seats (so like 6 tables) on the top deck in the back, and then plenty more in the deck where you enter which has glass windows all around. The best seats are definitely the top deck in the front but to get a seat there, you need to line up 30-45 minutes in advance minimum. Whether you sit on the left or right of the top doesn’t matter because the boat will turn around and give you views of everything. I would just recommend against sitting in the very very front row because people who don’t have front seats will try to come stand up there and take pictures which will block your view. The other thing to note is that there is no actual guided tour playing while you go. But, there is a provided photo with major sites listed for convenience which was plenty. There’s also a QR code for audio guide which I didn’t try but you could bring headphones and consider doing. Ultimately, if you go early and sit somewhere with and unobstructed view, this can absolutely be a 5 out of 5 experience. If you don’t, you may have a more average (3-4 out of 5 star) experience. But then, for the price that also isn't too terrible. Budapest looks beautiful at night regardless of how you see it!

Magic Experience - A beautiful experience. Recommendation to report to the pier early if you want better seats on the boat which has a covered and an outdoor low area. In summer of course it is preferable to view the outdoor one but there will not be room for everyone above. Friendly staff and well organized.

Highly recommend for incredible pictures of Budapest at night! - Loved this night cruise. We choose the 9 pm cruise. Great communication from Duna before we even booked because we had a few questions. Cruise time had been pushed back to 9:30 which we didn’t realize because the notification had ended up in our spam folder. It was a beautiful evening for a night cruise. We lined up early to secure seats on the upper deck. Operators were friendly & very organized. Highly recommended!

Decent - Viewed at night and after seeing some of the attractions before at night and day It's not that 'wow'. I would recommend going as blind as possible and at night for the best experience. Second thing is that upper deck seats are limited and going there 30 minutes earlier there is already huge queue for the seats so yeah kinda annoying that I had to stand all the cruise. Overall decent :)

Great boat trip - The surroundings were fantastic to see. The boat trip itself was very nice but busy. The audio guide was available in 15 languages but unfortunately not in Dutch and I find that a bit unfortunate.
