Traveler Tips

  • "As it is unguided go later on in your trip so that you already know the buildings you are looking at." See review
  • "I recommend taking a Cruise timing that coincides with the sunset only because the way in which the setting sun fires up the city and its monuments is truly spectacular." See review
  • "Budapest is so beautiful by night, but I would recommend that you aquaint yourself with the City first so that you know what you are looking at on the cruise." See review

Basic Cruise - Great Photos, but poor service/management
Simone_A
, Aug 2022
Got there early to get a good place and those of us who were there respectfully stood in place to get on, but then people who arrived 'on time' crowded by the entrance and there was no management of this, so those of us who ended up getting there early were some of the last to board. There was a group of people who went onto the front of the boat and reserved chairs and tables for themselves (one or two per table where four could have sat), so again, leaving some people standing - just inconsiderate, and yet nothing was done about it from the crew. I had to stand the whole time. The cruise itself is fine if you just want a basic experience of being on the Danube and getting some lovely photos.

Magical views of Budapest from the Danube

The boat was boarded promptly at the ticketed time. Easy to find the pick-up dock which was along the East side of the Danube. I'd recommend to time the cruise for sunset.

I undestant if you prefer private, though we have a special product for that. Our program is popular as you have noticed. The boat's capacity is limited well below the rated capacite, therefore you have options to find your favourite spot.

Upgrade toilet facilities and use a nicer brand of refreshments. I would be happy to take the tour again and spend a few extra euros if it meant a little higher quality. That said I would highly recomend viewing budapest from the river.

Dear Joseph, thank you for your review. I would love to learn more about the toilet problem - the boat was in usage only a half year after renovation. But if you mean that it was dirty eventually we already made the necessary steps and asked our crew to pay more attention for the cleaning. Normally all toilets are cleaned between two departures. Regarding the refreshments... well, I can't say anything pro or contra, it is matter of taste. We are using the products of ... I don't think that I'm allowed to write here the company name, but you know, the biggest breverage company in the world. Hope to see you again on our boats. Best regards Felix, Portum Crew

Just an average cruise
Mayank_T
, Jul 2022
Average Cruise trip. No shade near the dock to stand while waiting for the cruise to begin. They ask the visitors to report atleast 15 minutes prior to starting the cruise so better to take an umbrella if its hot and sunny. Not recommended during hot summer days. Best time to book is after sunset.

We don't make the landscape of Budapest that is most of your concern. You seem to have nothing on the cruise itself.

The trip is one hour, as described. Short or long depends on you, this is what you paid for. The welceme drink is presented upon the entry, so I am afraid you were at a different company if that was only served before arrival.

Overrated- no commentary available . Crowded boat. Dock 42 fair walk from nearest public transport . It was just ok.

icon Response from Host , Jul 2022
You paid for a sightseeing cruise that has no commentary, so expecting one is your reflection. We never use more than 2/3rd of the boat's total capacity, therefore it can not be crowded. Should you have looked around you would have found empty spots.

Half an hour cruise down the river and back. Beautiful views. Relaxing atmosphere. Would reccomend everyone to do it at the beginning of your stay - to Get a better understanding of your surroundings here in Budapest.

icon Response from Host , Jul 2022
Well, the half an hour is realistically rather 20 minutes downstream and 40 minutes upstream - when we consider the river as well. Happy that you would provide max. rating, hope you do that with the points as well next time.

Why not?
mjbjers

Nothing special. Not bad not good, but cheap. I think it has so many ratings just by virtue of everyone choosing it. It’s basically just a ferry that goes up and down the Danube once so you can get some night photos.
