    Would do it again!

    Seeing Budapest at night it's a MUST to do.. it's absolutely gorgeous so i highly recommend. So honestly i didn't give so much attention to the details. Now, taking into consideration that we booked this cruise with only a few hours before and it was quite a good price, i won't complain about the conditions. Is not the best boat nor the most clean one, but for sure it does it's job for 1 hour. It was a very nice tour, there was also a tape in English and German that gave us a lot of explaining so it was also very educational, with lot of details and it was exactly linked with the route. We booked the cruise from 9 PM, but got there at about 8:40 when was about to leave the boat that was scheduled at 8:30pm, so we took that one instead. All went smoothly, had no problem, we also found very easy the dock from where the boat left. I would take it again.

    Our tour was booked for 6pm and we started queuing at half 5 but at quarter past 6 the boat left without us and about 15 other people. We were told they had accidentally oversold the tour and we could either wait an hour for the next one or get a refund. We waited an hour because it was our last day and it was ok, the boat was very basic but the sights were nice especially as it was dark and everything was lit up. Get what you pay for.
