When it comes to views, comfort, interesting stories told by the guide about places that you can see, it is really a great thing and it is definitely worth it. However, I do not know who came up with the idiotic, loud indulgence music, which was a big dissonance. In my opinion, this is why you go on this cruise to see the monuments and feel the atmosphere of the city. If only it would be regional music ..

Basically everything is fine. What we wanted to see - we saw. The only thing is the guide's voice is hard to hear when people are constantly talking around + if you do not queue earlier, you may have a problem with good places (better views). Besides, everything is fine :)

Great cruise, not many people attended the late night cruise (21:30) so we got upper side spots on tables. The cruise took 70 minutes as promised with a 10 minute or so stationing on a deck next to the Parliment for some reason. We expected to cruise further Margit Island but they turned around there; anyhow all touristic spots from the Danube has been checked out during our cruise. I totally recommend it, even thought the ship wasn't so new. 4.5/5 from me
