A must do! ;) - Honestly such an amazing experience! During November, if you want the tour half during daylight and half nighttime with all the beautiful lights of the city then the 4pm is perfect. The waitress was very lovely and attentive. We sat outside at the front, it was a bit cold at the beginning but they provide blankets so it’s just cozy. Take earphones if you want to listen to some historical information (download from the QRcode at each table) And definitely do it at the beginning of your trip so you can get a general idea on what to do and visit after!

Essential Night Tour of the Danube - A great plan, alone or in company, essential if you are in Budapest. The boat is cute and different. Of course, in this time it is very cold so I recommend to go very well warm to enjoy it better. (They lend you a blanket, but still, very cold.) Beautiful photos and landscapes. Made for audio guidance on your phone and your own hearing aids. The audio guide is not very deep, few details, but it tells you the essentials.

Delightful Danube Cruise - We chose to go during sunset and it was such a lovely experience. We boarded with a baby but still wanted to sit outside, so they brought us our drinks and then a warm blanket for the baby. It was perfect!

Very nice boat trip - We booked this trip as a family with 5 years old kid. It was nice trip, a little bit cold in night on 31st October, so you should sit inside the boat. Very nice boat, ald fashion, perfect attraction. Views were amazing. Every recommendation.

Great! - Smaller boat, super nice personnel. My second time on a boat (before I took another company) but would absolutely recommend this one to everybody!

Excellent Budapest cruise - This night cruise is quite a success, there are a variety of companies, and this is not the cheapest, but while on other ships you see a lot of people even many times behind large glass windows, on this historic ship there is no overwhelm of people and all the sites are with excellent visibility and without any type of glass window. Fantastic experience, I recommend it definitely

Charming canal cruise - Original cruise on a beautifully maintained radar ship. This distinguishes them from the standard cruises, for a small extra cost. We did the cruise in the dark, which gave a very nice view of the illuminated city. A nice experience and a nice start to our city trip in Budapest.

Excellent views and a lovely way to spend an hour - We took the cruise in the evening and it was a good way to see the beautiful scenery of Budapest. It would have been good to have some commentary on the buildings/bridges etc.

Lovely cruise along the Danube - Nice cruise, wish they could tell us when to start the audio. It seemed like the timing didn't match the cruise. Nice experience overall though
