Très agréable promenade sur le danube , nous avons (4 personnes) apprécié ainsi que le personnel très sympa. Une seule chose : nous ignorions que l on pouvait faire une halte de 45 mn sur l île Marguerite puis reprendre un autre bateau , nous n avions pas cette information . Sinon c était super ! Translate this opinion into English.

Very pleasant walk on the Danube, we (4 people) enjoyed it as well as the very friendly staff. Just one thing: we didn't know that we could make a 45 minute stop on Margaret Island and then take another boat, we didn't have this information. Otherwise it was great! Opinion translated.

No estaba muy seguro de hacer esta actividad, me parecía redundante con otras. Pero salí muy satisfecho: contemplar Buda y Pest desde el Danubio es precioso, las explicaciones que aporta la audioguía son amenas e interesantes y el hecho de que incluya dos bebidas le da el toque final para es bien a gusto. Tuvimos suerte y hacía buenísimo (pese a asistir a finales de octubre; muy recomendable llegar temprano para coger sitio en el piso superior. Translate this opinion into English.

I wasn't sure about doing this activity, it seemed redundant with others. But I left very satisfied: seeing Buda and Pest from the Danube is beautiful, the explanations provided by the audio guide are entertaining and interesting and the fact that it includes two drinks gives it the finishing touch to make it really enjoyable. We were lucky and the weather was great (despite attending at the end of October; it is highly recommended to arrive early to get a place on the upper floor. Opinion translated. Show original.

Excelente!!! El crucero fue genial, zarpó puntual y la duración exacta. Llega hasta la isla Margarita, la rodea y vuelve. Te da tiempo ha hacer fotos a la ida y a disfrutar de las vistas a la vuelta. Nosotros subimos a la planta de arriba, hacia fresco, recomiendo ir abrigados, por lo menos a partir de Octubre. Nosotros cogimos el de las 17:00. Translate this opinion into English.

Excellent!!! The cruise was great, it left on time and lasted just right. It goes to Margarita Island, goes around it and comes back. You have time to take photos on the way there and enjoy the views on the way back. We went up to the top floor, it was cool, I recommend going warmly, at least from October onwards. We took the 5:00 pm one. Opinion translated. Show original.

El barquito está muy bien te van explicando todo con unos cascos en todos los idiomas, lo puedes hacer tanto dentro del barco como arriba que se ve todo superbién pero es verdad que hace más frío por lo menos en octubre. las camareras súper majas nos trajeron las dos consumiciones que ofrecen. Lo recomiendo. Una experiencia muy buena Translate this opinion into English.

The boat is very nice, they explain everything to you with headphones in all languages, you can do it both inside the boat and on top where you can see everything very well but it is true that it is colder at least in October. The super nice waitresses brought us the two drinks they offer. I recommend it. A very good experience. Opinion translated. Show original.

La visita en barco fue bien, éramos muy poquitos los viajeros en una tarde muy lluviosa. Las azafatas no estuvieron a la altura, éramos apenas 7 personas, todas sentadas en la parte delantera del barco y ellas hablaban por los micrófonos de espaldas a nosotros. A pesar de que les indicamos que así no les entendíamos continuaron a su aire, sin importarles los pasajeros. Translate this opinion into English.

The boat trip went well, there were very few of us on a very rainy afternoon. The hostesses were not up to par, there were only 7 of us, all sitting in the front of the boat and they spoke into microphones with their backs to us. Even though we told them that we couldn't understand them like that, they continued on their way, without caring about the passengers. Opinion translated. Show original.

La actividad ha estado muy bien, íbamos con pocas expectativas ya que el día estaba lluvioso, pero el barco estaba techado y tenía calefacción. Además, podías subir arriba para verlo mejor. Te ofrecen dos bebidas una limonada y un refresco, incluyendo vino o champán. Fuimos a ultima hora de la tarde (18:30) y muy recomendable ya que estaba todo iluminado, especialmente bonito el parlamento. Incluye audioguía aunque hay veces que no veías los sitios que indicaban. Translate this opinion into English.

The activity was very good, we had low expectations as it was a rainy day, but the boat was covered and had heating. In addition, you could go up to see it better. They offer you two drinks, a lemonade and a soft drink, including wine or champagne. We went late in the afternoon (18:30) and it is highly recommended as everything was illuminated, especially the parliament. It includes an audio guide although there were times when you could not see the places that were indicated. Opinion translated. Show original.

Paseo en barco muy bonito. Salimos a las 18:30 y nos pusimos arriba del todo, no hacía viento. Nos sirvieron la copa de bienvenida y la limonada, pero para hacer fotos se te hace complicado, es copa de cristal! En este horario sales de día y llegas de noche, es espectacular. Translate this opinion into English.

A very nice boat ride. We left at 18:30 and we were at the top, there was no wind. They served us a welcome drink and lemonade, but it was difficult to take photos, it was made of glass! At this time you leave during the day and arrive at night, it is spectacular. Opinion translated. Show original.

Hicimos la vuelta por el Danubio a las 17:45h. No pudimos coger el mejor asiento, aunque pudimos observar las visitas y mediante audioguía en español (había en muchos idiomas) oír explicaciones de los monumentos que se veían y de la Isla Margarita. Da opción a bajarse en la isla (la opción que escogimos) o volver al punto de partida. Se nos ofreció una bebida que iba incluida en el precio, escogimos vino blanco que no estaba muy bueno. Translate this opinion into English.

We made the return trip along the Danube at 17:45. We were not able to get the best seat, although we were able to observe the visits and, through an audio guide in Spanish (there were many languages available), hear explanations of the monuments we saw and Margaret Island. You have the option of getting off at the island (the option we chose) or returning to the starting point. We were offered a drink that was included in the price, we chose white wine which was not very good. Opinion translated. Show original.

Nos ha gustado mucho. Pensábamos que al haber reservado a las 18:30 no veríamos el Parlamento iluminado pero justo a la vuelta estaba anocheciendo y estaba todo encendido. Recomiendo ir con tiempo, hemos llegado 10 minutos antes y ya estaban casi todos los asientos ocupados. Translate this opinion into English.

We really liked it. We thought that having booked at 18:30 we wouldn't see Parliament lit up, but just as we were coming back it was getting dark and everything was lit up. I recommend going with time, we arrived 10 minutes early and almost all the seats were already occupied. Opinion translated. Show original.

La pena es que este crucero en concreto no alargue un poco la última hora para poder ver los edificios emblemáticos iluminados. Es una experiencia muy bonita y te ofrecen dos bebidas gratis, no de mucha calidad, pero algo es algo, en otro eso no se hace. Contenta con la experiencia. Translate this opinion into English.

The only pity is that this particular cruise doesn't extend the last hour a little so you can see the iconic buildings lit up. It's a very nice experience and they offer you two free drinks, not of great quality, but something is something, in others that's not the case. Happy with the experience. Opinion translated.

Me pareció excelente y lo recomiendo ampliamente el paseo se realizó sin ningún tipo de contratiempos y además sin un audio Guía disponible en varios idiomas por lo que recomiendo solamente llegar con la debida anticipación para poder ubicarse en una buena posición.

I found it excellent and I highly recommend it. The tour was carried out without any setbacks and also without an audio guide available in several languages, so I recommend just arriving with enough time to be able to find a good position. Opinion translated. Show original.

El barco muy limpio la moqueta del suelo impresionante también de limpia paseo por ambas márgenes del Danubio con explicaciones con audioguía en español con buena voz y explicaciones cortas y claras. Además te invitan a una bebida agua cerveza copa de vino o lo que sea lo único que como no entiendes el húngaro pues no te enteras. Translate this opinion into English.

The boat is very clean, the carpet on the floor is impressive, and the walk along both banks of the Danube is also very clean. The audio guide is provided in Spanish with a good voice and short and clear explanations. They also offer you a drink, water, beer, a glass of wine or whatever. The only thing is that since you don't understand Hungarian, you don't understand it. Opinion translated. Show original.

Es una oportunidad perfecta para contemplar y sacar las mejores fotos de los puentes, así como de los monumentos que se encuentran a ambos lados de la orilla, tanto de Buda como de Pest. El personal es muy atento y las chicas del barco muy amables. Algunos auriculares estaban estropeados, pero los puedes cambiar por los de cualquier otro asiento, o utilizar los tuyos propios.

It is a perfect opportunity to admire and take the best photos of the bridges, as well as the monuments on both sides of the riverbank, both in Buda and Pest. The staff is very attentive and the girls on the boat are very friendly. Some of the headphones were broken, but you can change them for those of any other seat, or use your own. Opinion translated.

El crucero fue muy agradable. Las explicaciones de la audio guía fueron interesantes y amenas.

El personal es amable. Translate this opinion into English.

The cruise was very enjoyable. The audio guide's explanations were interesting and entertaining.

It was not great. Headphones broken so I could not hear your guide for first 25 minutes. Then the tour guide auto tape was too fast so we sailed by the thing it was talking about before it described it. I would not recommend although I have been in others that were very good. Entire boat was inside—no outside space so it was hot and stuffy and the windows were dirty.

We are sorry that the experience did not quite meet your expectations. At Civitatis we only want our guests to have the best experience possible. To this end, we take note of all comments with the intention of improving.
