Viator Traveler's Reviews
taking the sunset cruise was one of the highlights of our short trip to budapest. we didn't do the dinner, just the drinks, but i think next time we'll add in the dinner. unfortunately for us it rained so hard to get great pix because couldn't be outside. but seeing the lights of budapest while listening to the music played by the 3 piece band made for an enchanting night.
Excellent and relaxing! While Budapest offers much amazing scenery, the views from the river can't be beat!! The cocktail service was a little slow, and our cruise wasn't full, so I'd imagine that could be a problem on a busy day. But we were pleased with everything about the cruise - the length of time, the friendly wait staff, the strings trio, and of course the gorgeous views of Budapest from the middle of the Danube. I'd consider this cruise again if I returned to Budapest.
I personally think it was poorly organised. We had a central meeting place and had to walk for about 10-15 mins, when it would have been easier to meet at the boat. Whilst I realise you wish to have as many people on board as possible, I thought it was overcrowded and and too many option different drink packages available on one boat so seemed to be a bit confusing. I suggest it would have been better to maybe have one free drink on arrival then go to the bar after that.
We met at the collection point and once assembled we had to walked approximately 1km to board the boat. The walk was along footpaths across a busy road, down a flight of stairs and along a dirt path that was uneven and dusty. Glad I didn't get dressed up in heals.
Once we were on board the boat - we only took the cocktail option and was directed upstairs. The poor girl doing the drinks was under the pump and it took ages to get our first drink. The view was lovely and the length of the cruise was just right.
