The boat staff were... - The boat staff were friendly, the views of the city at night beautiful and the hot chocolate with baileys delicious. It was cold on the open deck so dress warm if you go during the colder seasons.

Good but not great - The evening tour is very suggestive but the passage of the boat in the outward leg was too fast .. in front of the parliament we could not take pictures worthy of the show but slowed the race to a "dead end" of the crossing. Good but not great.

Pleasant evening cruise - Not sure whether an hour is enough for a river cruise to see the floodlit buildings along the river and it would have been nice to go a little further to see the sports stadium close up as it looked very impressive from a distance

Nice tour, defective audio guide - We had booked this trip because the departure was good. The tour itself was nice and lived up to expectations. However, it was very difficult to hear the English information as some of the other passengers were very loud. We had downloaded the audio guide to our phones, but could quickly find that it had much less information than those in the speakers. In addition, the function, which should be automatic relative to position, did not work. We had to get help getting to wifi, as there was to type code.

Danube evening river cruise - Far too many people on the boat. On the top deck you literally couldn’t move, once you had sat down as the gangways were just packed like sardines.

Pity we didn't know what we're looking at. - The cruise was good and the commentary was comprehensive, however misaligned with the current location sp that what you were hearing is about 10 minutes before the location it described. Regrettably when I asked for the commentary track to be paused to allow the boat to catch up, I was told this wasn't possible. Not possible to hit pause on audio, apparebtly.

Very short and pretty boring - We boarded the cruise at pier 11 but the boat then stopped at another Pier in Buda to pick up more people which obviously reduced the time we had to the boat went up towards the island on the Danube and turned pretty quickly and headed back the way we came. There was no commentary and we were pretty bored after 20 minutes

As good as the rest - Lovely views and as good as the rest of the options along the Danube, and priced roughly in the middle of them all. It, however, was rather busy and views were fairly restricted. And would recommend nighttime over daytime as the lights make all the difference.
