Budapest: Boat Party on the River Danube

The boat holds about 250 people in one event, it sounds a lot but when on board it’s really spread out. It has great music, secure cloak room for your belongings and nice toilets. We received a wrist band and our own bar but only spirit and mixer was available. I had booked with the understanding we could also receive cocktails.

Les serveurs vous servent tout au lond de l événement Bonne ambiance mais musique un peu forte et beaucoup de bruit car beaucoup de jeunes qui viennent faire un peu leur avant sortie

Cocktail Cruise Downtown Budapest

The cocktail cruise is a lovely evening activity. It was very nice to be able to look at the old buildings with the great lighting at night. The cocktails all tasted really good! The service from Salwa and Adam was great. The two were very attentive and friendly. The bar employees Dia and Emese also did a great job. I would always recommend this tour! Price performance is top!

Nice trip, beautiful day, very peaceful aboard the boat and a lovely way to see the city (and out of the blazing June sun!). The drinks were also very appreciated (one free fruity juice drink per person).

Evening Sightseeing Cruise with Unlimited Prosecco

Very good - Staff were very attentive with serving drinks. Only criticism was that we were sat at the bow of the boat and couldn’t hear the music/commentary very well. Also would’ve liked maybe more info on the places we were passing
