We have done this cruise before and went a second time to treat my daughter for her birthday. The cruise is well organized. If you book in advance you will get a reserved window table. The live music is excellent, performed by accomplished musitions. The buffet style dinner is very tasty and you can eat as much as you want. The drinks are extra, but reasonably priced, our waitress was very attentive and very friendly. The cruise lasts about 2 hours which is a perfect time scale. You get to see all the main sights, we went at night and Christmas time, so the sights were magical. I can't recommend this tip enough, and would probably go again if we ever visit Budapest again.

The buffet variety was good, and the dancers and musicians were very entertaining. The scenery during the cruise was beautiful, and all the lights were magical.

This was a great expense! The staff was great, the entertainment was fun and food was amazing. The food also is worth the price. The views of parliament, fisherman’s bastion were beautiful. I highly recommend.

Wonderful experience. The food was very good. The waiters were always available. The entertainers and musicians were excellent. It was a lovely evening. I was able to take beautiful pictures of Parliament, Buda Castle and the bridges from the deck of the boat. I highly recommend this experience.
