Budapest candlelit Danube cruise with live music, 4-course dinner and welcome drink. 2.5 hours of night views and great service.

“This was very different to the other river trips on the Danube. You can see the other boats rammed with drunken partygoers travelling up and down the river but this experience is quite the opposite. Great food, the drinks are reasonably priced and the views spectacular. The live music is chilled and in keeping with the environment and the boat has plenty of space, is clean and well fitted.”

We were lucky to have a window table but you can always go up to the top deck for plenty of photo opportunities. 1000/10. Highlight of our trip!”

“We booked a window table and were very glad we did. The views were beautiful all along the river. The menu was excellent, with good vegetarian options, but the soup was a bit cold and the lamb was overcooked. Not enough to stop us giving it 4 stars though! The music was lovely but got a little bit too 'audience participation' for our taste in the last 2 or 3 songs. The staff were spot on, really lovely and helpful people. We would do it again!”
