Absolutely fabulous dinner cruise. The boat itself was very comfortable and ideally set up for a dining experience with incredible views. The food was delicious and perfectly presented while the drinks selection was extensive. All served by excellent staff who were very friendly and attentive. The entertainment was wonderful. An unforgettable experience and cannot recommend highly enough.

The entire evening was seamless! Of course the scenery was amazing but the 4 course dinner with several options to choose from was delicious and beautifully prepared. The servers that evening were amazing, up and down the stairs to serve all the courses always with a smile. And the music provided added to the ambiance, highly recommend!
It was a superb cruise along the Danube
Lots to see
Good food, excellent service and overall a great evening
Very spectacular night views of Budapest! The staff were excellent and very attentive. Cruise was small enough so it was not too crowded.
It is not for children. The trip was most enjoyable once it was underway. Food and service were excellent and the views were lovely. I would have liked to go farther down the river to turn around instead of making the same loop 3 times. Musicians made the night with sign-a-longs and good tunes.
Very relaxing experience with good food and good music. No candles just battery ones incase your worried
Beautiful dinner; nice menu , had foie gra, cherry soup , duck and a nice pinnacle cotte. Unforgettable night scenery along the River. Music was great, celebrated my wife’s birthday.
Excellent trip, perfect duration, nice boat, great staff and the food and wine were really good. Live music onboard was subtle and really enjoyable. Views from the boat were spectacular at night and overall, a great evening and really enjoyable. A higher end trip, but very good value.
A must do, great food with beautiful views!!! Highly recommend!! This was a highlight of our trip to Budapest!!
This was an lovely way to end our trip to Budapest. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. A great value for the money.
We were seated at a long table with our group of ten. The windows on one side wouldn’t slide open and were very dirty. The food was mediocre at best. My duck was tough and potatoes were cold in the middle. I complained to Viator and someone was finally able to slide it open. They also gave me a refund equal to one guest out of ten we had booked. The entertainment and views were amazing! We all tipped our servers and the entertainers.
From the moment we got on board until we left the boat - it was perfection! The entire experience should NOT be missed. It was the best dinner cruise I have ever been on. Delicious meal as well. They do it up right!
Well worth the money, friendly staff, food was excellent and drinks on board were not over priced. A really enjoyable evening.
Lovely first time in Budapest- great way to see the most famous attractions and architectural marvels
Cruise was nice but too long could have shaved back 1/2 hour. Music was ok, adequate. Food was not good. Next day came down with food poisoning and it was the only thing ate all day. Unfortunately due to that fact cannot recommend. Missed my tour the next day due to illness and this was our first experience in Budapest as had just arriived that day.
The crew works very hard! The food is good! Book early and get a seat upstairs!! It’s really the best seat on the boat!!!
A very nice dinner cruise on the Danube going past all of the waterfront sights including the parliament building, the summer palace in and Fisherman’s Bastion in Buda Var, and going as far as the athletics stadium. The food was good quality, nicely presented and service was very good. Apart from the free welcome drink, drinks are extra with a good selection of wines. A very pleasant experience.
Classy restaurant, great service, and great food. Easy to find and left on time. I would recommand if you want a romantic dinner.
Low water and low lights in Budapest. BUT..... dinner cruise went on and a great birthday meal was enjoyed by all!!
Evening on the Danube was beautiful! The city lights and reflections from the river provided stunning views. The service was excellent and the food was alright. The vessel moved at a good steady pace, allowing for views before the sunset and then a few more times at night when the buildings were all lit up. Lovely evening!
The boat was amazing, the food incredible, the sights amazing. Unfortunately we had a group of 18 that were late, loud, never kept still and ruined the experience for others. The lovely wait staff were apologetic but the large crowd just took away from what would have been an amazing adventure.
The starters and dessert were great but the main dishes were all bad options. I got the trout and I couldn’t even eat it. It was completely full of small fish bones making it truly impossible to eat. One got caught in my throat 🤢There was also a terrible seasoning all over the fish and the salad that made the whole thing gross. Like crunchy inedible peppercorns. We also got put at the top of the ship which had a great view, but we couldn’t hear any of the live music. We were really excited for the live music so it was disappointing that our seats made us unable to hear the music.
The best experience!!! So cool to see Budapest from the river & loved the dinner cruise. The food was great, the music was lovely, and we had a wonderful time. Definitely recommend!
Nice evening cruise. Were on top of boat so food service was bit slow, rushed at end, but nice meal, nice evening event
We were thrilled to have seating on the top of the boat. We captured many great photos along the river. Unfortunately, when the sun was down all the bugs began to swarm! I tried to tolerate them but the filled our wine glasses, butter dish and were all over us too.
It was enough to make us move to the lower deck and skip the main course. Our waitress was sweet snd apologetic. She packed our dessert to go.
This is a beautiful experience to see Budapest at night. The food, drink, and service were excellent. Wouldn’t miss it while visiting Budapest.
This was a great way to celebrate our Silver Wedding Anniversary. The staff were very friendly and the food was exceptional. A great way to see some of the highlights of Budapest.
It's a bit warm
They charge you for water
We didn't see much of the River because we kept turning around.
Possibly die to low water levels.
It was a great experience and the lights on all the buildings and bridges were absolutely beautiful!!!
Our only complaint was that there was too long a wait between courses!!
Fabulous evening with great food and service. Unfortunately due to the heat wave and energy saving measures, the buildings weren’t illuminated, our cruise was rescheduled 45 minutes earlier for us to get the full benefit of the beautiful Budapest sunset.
wonderful evening, food and service great. relaxing on the river, would do again,,,,,,,,,,,site makes it difficult to review
