What are people saying about Budapest

Richard_B, Aug 2026

A spectacular afternoon with Ben, the wonder guide!

This tour was my very first Viator booking ever. My gal, Al, and I requested a tuck tuck tour of Budapest with a guide possessed of a great sense of humor and superb local knowledge Within moments of meeting Ben in front of our hotel, we knew that Viator had picked just the right guy. First Ben’s English is so idiomatic and so perfect. He could easily pass for a local boy from New York or California and for the next three hours, he showed us just what we wanted to see in Budapest in which he gave us superb insight on local history, culture and customs. We also asked Ben to show us where the young people go and what they do in Budapest and been obliged us with stops at the wonderful ruin bars and other attractions we probably would have missed with another tour guide. Five stars to Viator and Ben as the afternoon spent with him in his tuck tuck mobile was the very best time we spent during our visit to Budapest!

Budapest Danube Cruise and Dinner Options, Live Music and Dance

Kata_W, Aug 2026

Wonderful way to spend an evening.

This was so much fun! The food was great, and I enjoyed the dancing, though for the best view, face the center of the boat. The music was excellent. My only regret is that with the water and electricity conservation the buildings were not lit up. This is so worth your time and I strongly recommend it for a real "taste" of Hungary.

A kind, welcoming crew...

A kind, welcoming crew and a beautiful cruise ! A little boat, so no big crowds. We had to ask for the audio guide, but it was immediately given to us, with more information and anecdotes given by a crew/guide member ! You will need to have your own headphones, though.

Budapest Food Tour: Market to Tavern with 12+ Tasters & Wines

Nancy_W, Aug 2026

Great Tour

My daughter and I did this tour today (August 8, 2026) and it was fabulous! Our guide Ester was wonderful. She has a good voice for guiding and gathers everyone close so they can hear. She explained so much about the food and how it related to the Hungarian culture and history. Portion size was quite large and by the time we finished, we knew that we would need no dinner. We also enjoyed the very international group of participants. This was a GREAT tour-well worth the price.

Susan_W, Aug 2026

Wonderful dinner cruise w great entertainment!

There is no need to upgrade for the window view. You can see well no matter where you are once the boat leaves. Lots of opportunities for memory-making photos. The entertainment includes musicians (cimbalom, violin and cello), a singer, and four dancers. Had a great time! We didn't have kids but kid friendly.

Budapest Paddle Steamer Danube Cruise with Tokaj & Audio Guide

Joanie_F, Aug 2026

Beautiful scenery on a beautiful boat.

Beautiful boat with gorgeous scenery. But if you want to sit on the top deck, arrive at the dock and get in line early. The early birds who get in line an hour early get the top deck and those who come closer to the time of departure sit in the lower deck. It’s still gorgeous, but your choice is limited where you sit.

Countryside Half-day Gastro-Wine Tour from Budapest Meal & pickup

Darlene_B, Aug 2026

One of the Best Wine Tastings Ever!

This is the best wine tasting tour I've been on yet! Going out into the countryside was beautiful; tons of sunflower fields and vineyards! Our driver picked us up at our hotel and, while driving around the city to pick up other guests, told us about the various buildings/sites of interest. While driving through the countryside, she gave us background history of the area and was just awesome! The wineries we visited were great and hostesses very professional but warm and friendly as well. We had some really great wines in all three locations, but the meal we had at the last winery was fantastic! And loved visiting with their house cats as well. It was an awesome trip and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Unlimited Prosseccoo, Beer, Aperol & Limoncello Spritz Cruise

russell_s, Aug 2026

Good experience on a unlimited Prosecco cruise

This particular cruise was on a small boat. Probably 60 people at most. I don’t know whether it was because the river water level was low or it was a weeknight in the summer or whatever. The enclosed downstairs the boat had no air condition so sitting down, there was definitely out of the question. The upstairs probably had enough seating for 3/4 of the people which made it kind of first come first serve for a table with chairs. The staff was very friendly and the cruise was just about the right amount of time to see Budapest at night. For the price it was a pretty good experience.

Budapest Danube River Candlelit Dinner Cruise with Live Music

Keith_T, Aug 2026

Absolutely top notch dinner cruise!

From start to finish, just the perfect dinner cruise. Where to start? The boat is amazing, completely open sides and overhead. The seats, table and glasses all feel like a great lounge restaurant. Then the food and drink. So many choices on the set menu that we struggled to decide. They all sound amazing, look beautiful and tasted outstanding. The wine was also great and served in lovely glasses. Last but by no means least, the staff were helpful and attentive in a head-spinning array of languages. No problems getting help or another glass when needed. The music, well this I could take or leave and occasionally it was a little loud for conversation but these are minor matters of taste. Genuinely impressed by Legenda, looking at the other cruises operating on the Danube they’re clearly head and shoulders above anything else on the water. If you’re on the fence about booking then I’d say spend the money and enjoy it, dinner cruises don’t get much better than what Legenda has put together here.

Budapest Small-Group Guided Tour on MonsteRoller e-Scooter

Rainer_S, Aug 2026

You can walk Budapest. Or...

You can walk Budapest. Or you can ride it – and see far more of the city in far less time. We booked the 3-hour All-In MonsteRoller tour. What won me over wasn't just the fun of riding – that part is guaranteed anyway – but how well the whole thing is run. Check-in and the safety briefing were professional and refreshingly straightforward, even for people who have never stood on one of these before. The rollers themselves were in excellent technical condition, with no issues at all over the full distance. Our guide Balint turned a scooter ride into a proper city tour. He explains every landmark with real background knowledge and drops in dry, well-timed humour along the way. Never preachy, never boring – exactly the right balance. With eight people, the group size was ideal: small enough that nobody gets left behind and every question gets answered. You can see Budapest from plenty of viewpoints. But you rarely see this much of the city in three hours – and you rarely have someone explain it as well as Balint does.

Budapest Sip and Sail Danube Cruise with Unlimited Prosecco

Dawn_C, Jul 2026

Upgrade to the premium package

We did the 6pm which was nice and tame, the staff are amazing at coming found and filling up your glass with Prosecco and Bellini’s so your glass is never empty. We enjoyed it that much, we got off the boat and queued for the 8pm knowing it was livelier with a DJ and dance floor and busier. That was also great. The cocktails if you do the premium are also delicious and not cheap and nasty. The pinacolada in particular was top notch

Budapest Danube River Sightseeing Night Cruise with Drink

Serbay_O, Jul 2026

Great Experience

If you want to enjoy the tour with the best views, arrive early and wait at the boarding gate so you can get good seats on the upper deck. If you’re taking the evening tour with a child, don’t forget to bring a blanket, as it can get quite chilly because of the wind during the one-hour trip.
