Budapest Danube River Sightseeing Night Cruise by Legenda City Cruises

Seeing the amazing architecture of Budapest all lit up at night from the river is just magical. I can’t think of a better way to introduce yourself to the gorgeous city.

Cruising the Danube in the evening is a magical experience. The important buildings and bridges on the river are lit up which is very pretty.

The cruise on the Danube was really great and it is so pretty and peacefull. I regret there are tv screens that reflected in some of my nice photos.

It was a lovely and romantic ride. It is absolutely stunning with the different monuments lit up at night.

The view was superb, the commentary was excellent, and the staffs were very helpful. The evening views of Buda and Pest were amazing.

Beautiful scenery and great storytelling. Don't hesitate to listen to the audio, it is written and narated in a very beautiful way which compliments the whole experience.

The night view from the cruise boat was amazing and made me speechless. I could see all the historic building beautifully lit up in front of my eyes. The audio guide was nicely synched with the view as we go along and very informative. I learnt a lot about Budapest history on this cruise. All the staff are very friendly and efficient too. I would definitely recommend this night cruise.

We booked 7 tickets for this river cruise for 8pm on 6th April. We arrived at the correct dock at 7:35 as we wanted to be early. We waited until 8:15 and no boat had arrived so we started trying to contact the boat company (Portum lines). We rang their phone number and they told us that no boat had arrived yet as it was due at 8:45. We were annoyed at the time being incorrect but we waited anyway. Once the boat finally arrived we presented our tickets but were refused entry as out tickets “were not valid for that trip” as our tickets said 8pm and this was an 8:45 boat. As previously stated, no boats arrived at 8pm. We were told by the people that worked on the boat that they don’t know why we were sold those tickets as they didn’t even have an 8pm cruise that day, only 8:45. So our tickets were not valid at all, despite us paying over £15 for them in advance. We then had to pay full price for new tickets for the boat as they did not accept the ones that we pre purchased, despite it not being out fault that we were told the wrong time. We also paid for taxis to the port so didn’t want to just leave without seeing the cruise. If someone could contact me regarding this issue that would be great as we would like a refund for the fake tickets we were sold. Thanks.

The sights were beautiful. Blankets against the cold. Champagne. But no Dutch or English audio, which made the tour just sitting and staring outside, instead of listening to a guide. That was disappointing.

Was an amazing boat ride! Do the golden hour cruise (just see when sunset is) as you’ll get both pictures with the beautiful sunset and then be able to see everything at night. Best tour!!
