Fun evening - Fun evening. We did the Wine and Dine package. Traditional Hungarian food paired with Hungarian wines. The Music and dancers created a fun atmosphere. The cruise was nice; but this time of year we knew the sun wouldn’t set early enough to see the lights. The service was excellent. we really enjoyed the evening.

How can you resist a dinner cruise on the Danube? - So much fun!!! We loved the live music and entertainment. The buffet was generous and had something for everyone, including our vegetarian. The wine and drinks were priced affordably. The views were amazing. What a fun way to cap a great day in Budapest.

Very good - Delicious food, first-rate service, and top-notch entertainment. The only drawback is that we missed seeing Budapest illuminated at night since it did not begin until a little later in the evening. The lights were coming on as the ship docked. From the water, it would have been breathtaking. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely suggest this for a fun evening out.

Enjoyable evening - Great food, excellent service, excellent entertainment. The only negative is that it did not start a little later in the evening, so we could see all of Budapest lit up at night. As the vessel was docking, the lights were coming on. It would have been amazing from the water. We had a fantastic time overall and highly recommend this as a fun evening.

The dancers and musicians... - The dancers and musicians were very good. The food was good enough but expected better. The tour was just boat ride that turned around once and was actually a 1 and a 2/3 hour ride, with no commentary on what we were passing. But overall a good tour.
