Danube River Cruise
- Free cancellation
Explore Budapest from the water on a 1-hour cruise along the Danube River and enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the city's monuments and most famous bridges with pre-recorded commentary in English and one free drink.
Danube River Cruise
Experience a cruise along the Danube River from north to south, sailing under Budapest's most renowned bridges: Chain Bridge, Elisabeth Bridge, Liberty Bridge and Margaret Island’s two bridges.
Enjoy superb views of Buda and Pest and the numerous iconic landmarks like the Royal Palace, the Parliament, Gellert Hotel, Fisherman’s Bastion or Church of Saint Anne.
You'll learn about the city's history and about each monument the boat floats past listening to the pre-recorded commentary in English. You'll also be given a free drink during the journey to choose from: champagne, wine, beer, soft drinks or mineral water and a glass of homemade lemonade.
The cruise will finish by returning to the starting point.
Stop in Margaret Island
This cruise stops at Margaret Island. You can get off and discover this peaceful hideaway (well worth it) and later take the boat back to Pier 7. You'll be handed a map with a list of things to do on the island and several discounts to make the most of your visit.
All boats offer this option between March and October, except the last boat of the day, as long as access to the Danube River is possible.

Reviews
Nos ha encantado! Personal muy atento, el barco cómodo y con audio guía. El recorrido precioso y la hora inmejorable, porque hemos subido que era aún de día y se ha ido haciendo de noche, lo que nos ha permitido ver los monumentos importantes iluminados. Además incluye dos bebidas por persona. Lo recomiendo mucho! Merece la pena.. Translate this opinion into English. Show more
We loved it! Very attentive staff, comfortable boat with audio guide. The tour was beautiful and the time was unbeatable, because we went up when it was still daylight and it was getting dark, which allowed us to see the important monuments illuminated. It also includes two drinks per person. I highly recommend it! It's worth it. Opinion translated. Show original. Show more
Nos gustó el recorrido y la hora que elegimos fue ideal, ya que hicimos la ida de día y la vuelta de noche. Por poner algo negativo, para la audioguía no te dan auriculares desechables sino que son de diadema, cada asiento tiene las suyas y a no ser que traigas unos en el bolsillo, tienes que usar eso. Opino que en vez de día bebidas en un trayecto de una hora y 10 minutos, hubiera preferido unos auriculares desechables Por lo demás, muy bien Translate this opinion into English. Show more
We liked the tour and the time we chose was ideal, since we went there during the day and returned at night. On the negative side, for the audio guide they don't give you disposable headphones, but headband headphones, each seat has its own, and unless you bring some in your pocket, you have to use those. I think that instead of drinks on a one hour and 10 minute journey, I would have preferred disposable headphones. For the rest, very good. Opinion translated. Show original. Show more

Hoy estuvimos con David haciendo el tour por el Castillo de Buda y fue muy divertido e interesante, respondió a todas nuestras preguntas. Lo recomiendo Translate this opinion into English. Show more

Lo esperable de esta actividad, un barco normal en una ruta curiosa y bonita. Lo mejor los trabajadores por su atención y esfuerzo (sobre todo con los idiomas) y lo peor es la mala suerte de que te toque una familia ruidosa y molesta detrás (dos niños pequeños que en comparación eran menos molestos que los padres, los cuatro estuvieron chillando y de un lado para otro todo el trayecto. Dicho esto, eso no es culpa de la organización, pero si podrían haberles pedido amablemente algo de educación. Translate this opinion into English. Show more
The expected part of this activity is a normal boat on a curious and beautiful route. The best thing is the workers for their attention and effort (especially with the languages) and the worst thing is the bad luck of having a noisy and annoying family behind you (two small children who were less annoying than the parents, the four of them were screaming and running around the whole trip. That said, that is not the fault of the organization, but they could have asked them to be polite. Opinion translated. Show original. Show more

Great! We did the 3:30pm one and we were able to see the sunset. The entire staff was super attentive. When you book, you get two drinks, the first one to choose and a tea. The boat is super comfortable and spacious, all glassed in so you can see the landscape well. The audio guide is very complete. Opinion translated. Show original. Show more
