Everything was very enjoyable. The warm welcome, great table on the top deck, lovely hostess staff, every dish was delicious and the wine was a reasonable price. The views of the early evening Buda and Pest with iconic landmarks moved into a fairyland - like bonanza of the lit up riverside and city buildings. Would definitely recommend the Premium dinner choice.

    A highly recommended experience for enjoying Budapest from a different perspective. The sunset cruise on the Danube offers spectacular views of the city all lit up, creating a truly special and romantic atmosphere. The candlelit dinner was very well organized, and the live music added an elegant and pleasant touch throughout the cruise. Although the price is a bit high, the quality of the experience, the setting, and the entertainment make it well worth it. The meal consisted of four delicious courses that made the evening a memorable dining experience. The main course was generous and exquisite. To top it off, the dessert provided the perfect finishing touch with a sweet and elegant note. They also had the thoughtful gesture of placing a candle on my partner’s plate since it was their birthday. The service was exceptionally attentive, allowing us to enjoy dinner in a relaxed and satisfying atmosphere. Without a doubt, this is an ideal activity for a special occasion or to take home an unforgettable memory of Budapest.

    It was a wonderful experience; we sat upstairs by the piano, the food was truly delicious and more than enough, the staff is incredibly kind, friendly, and polite, and they speak English well, there’s also a place where you can smoke a cigarette, and what was really considerate was that if you went out to smoke, they waited to serve your meal. Truly top-notch service. The boat tour started at 8:00 p.m., which was perfect timing—first the cruise and dinner, and then we got to see everything lit up. The Parliament building sparkled; we were able to take beautiful photos and videos. And once again, my compliments to the staff ❤️

    The service was very attentive and friendly. The food—especially the lamb—was truly delicious, and the view of Budapest illuminated at night was absolutely stunning. However, the wine list could feature higher-quality wines; the two bottles we ordered were both subpar.
