The food was good. The performance was good, if not excellent. It was really warm in the dining hall so a bit uncomfortable staying there for almost 2 hours. Also, it was not easy to see outside view which was the purpose of the scenic river cruise.

Cruise was fantastic but the waiter was not very nice, as we booked in advance, soon as we had to pay for drinks he was all over us like a rash he needs to go on a peoples skills course

This was the first time I’ve actually found the food on a dinner cruise to be really good! The server was wonderful, very friendly, always smiling, and genuinely caring. The dancers were great fun and took the time for photos with everyone without ever seeming bored or rushed. The musicians were fantastic as well, happily playing songs on request. Overall, this was by far the best dinner cruise experience I’ve ever had!

The food was great. We were impressed by the selections and they tasted very good. The ship is beautiful and well decorated to make you feel like you’re in a high end restaurant. Staff was friendly. We did wish there were more dancers. The entertainment was fine, but hard to see from where we were sitting. Live music was a great touch! We went outside to get good views of the main attractions throughout the journey. Parliment, lit up at night is just magnificent. We were glad we chose this excursion and would do it again if we came back with others.

Parliament building and Buddha castle was awesome at night, food was below average and entertainment was also not very exciting.

Great value for money. The traditional music was very good and the food and drinks service excellent. The trip was quite magical and a must do in Budapest. My only minor gripe would be that there was no one on the gang plank to welcome you aboard and we had to cross through one boat to another before we could show our tickets to confirm we were on the correct boat.

2-hr experience (1.5hr cruise); Met all expectations for entertainment, tasty food, drinks and views :) Stately dining area with plenty of food and appetizers. Great live musicians and passionate dancers. Warm enough to wear a cute outfit if desired:). Lost 1 star for table service as never saw server again after initial order for cash cocktails placed.. had to then ask for the included wine,beer,cola on our own.
