Completely disorganized 38 minute river cruise

For an event that happens consistently throughout the day, this was completely disorganized, so disorganized that it was 38 minutes from the time we pushed off until we touched back. There were 2 boats loading from the same dock, so they kept those for this cruise on land until the other one was loaded. We had a 7:00 ride, were told to be there at 6:45, and didn't even start loading until 7:00. There was no one directing people on land, so no one knew if we were even in the right line. Completely disorganized. I'm not sure how it's advertised as an hour, or 50 minutes, but ours was not. And on top of that, the setup of chairs on the top deck was three chairs on either side. Considering that many people are in groups of two, this left all of the middle seats on both sides of the aisle open. It just seems all poorly thought out. Also, there was no narration. The views were stunning when we did get out, but I'm sure you can see these views with a better cruise.

Night cruise with welcome drink, totally recommended

The cruise on the Danube was an hour and a half long with departure at 7 in the evening, which makes it a night cruise, and although we had only booked the visit with a welcome drink, on the cruise itself you could also book dinner. Seeing the dishes they were serving, it is very worth it to book the cruise with dinner included since it is very abundant and looks very good, which includes the famous Goulash soup as well as several more dishes and dessert included. The same tour includes performances by Hungarian dancers.

Excellent experience for an affordable price without neglecting the quality of service ⛴️

Pleasant experience. Friendly and kind staff. Excellent onboard service with reasonable prices. At the entrance you will be greeted with a welcome drink and then you can choose between wine and beer depending on your option. The prices on board are reasonable also considering the experience of the beautiful view that you can enjoy from the ship. Highly recommended 👍🏻

I would do it again.

Very beautiful, I recommend it. If I really had to find a flaw, I would say the audio guide in Italian is a bit confusing, but I didn't have too many problems understanding it anyway.

Amazing sights

Prosecco and a tour of the river Danube. Such beautiful sights and the team who were working on the boat were professional and very kind. Outside seating a little uncomfortable but nothing that would ruin the experience
