      Worth a visit
      Beautiful building with amazing views from the dome. Only slight problem was picking up our pre booked tickets. It wasn’t very clear that you need to go to the ticket office along with people buying tickets where there’s a separate counter to use your voucher.

      Great experience and very relaxing!
      We chose the day spa with access to the palm relaxation area. We were provided with a private changing cabin which we could keep our clothes and valuables in, we were also each given a robe, a towel and flip flops. Although you can bring your own flip flops if you don’t need them or won’t use them following on from the day. There are so many saunas, steam rooms and pools. In the winter you can dry your towel on the radiators while you’re in each room. The thermal pools are amazing and you must try the volcano sauna, followed by the cold plunge pool. It’s well worth a visit to one of the spas if you’re visiting Budapest, and this is one of Europes largest! You could easily spend the whole day here.

      Great way to start a trip
      One of the better experiences I’ve had abroad that blends tourism and local activity. Despite being a big attraction there were a ton of locals going about their daily routine at the baths. The baths were relaxing and the architecture is worth the price of admission alone.

      Winter soak
      Fun Friday night out in a spectacular environment. A little busy and cleanliness of change area could be improved. Found the outdoor thermal pools a tad cool for 0 degrees outside temperature.

      Thank you so much to Oblako!!
      We did the unlimited Prosecco Cruise on Feb 13th. It was one of our favourite experiences while visiting Budapest. We were served by a young girl with dark brown hair and glasses. I asked for her name as she went over and beyond to make sure we had a good time. She wrote down her name for us to review her but we lost the piece of paper. But her name was similar to Oblako. She did an amazing job and deserves some praise. She made the trip worth every penny and would make us want to do it again and recommend it to others. All the crew on board were amazing and so friendly and welcoming. The performers were really good and so friendly. I would definitely do it again. Thanks for a good evening.

      Good but less time than promised.
      Trip should take two hours, in reality it was hour and twenty minutes. Overall we liked it and would recommend to anyone who wants to see Budapest at night.

      The "cheap" river cruise
      It was a nice enough cruise particularly value for money (we didn't have drinks or food or anything) and it is a 2h trip. However you can't really see well enough the sights well from the ship we were in, you must go to the terrace (which we were fine with but in winter perhaps many won't want to). The entertainment and service were however very clearly marked by the price tag which seemed a little on the nose. We have done activities like these in other cities and those who paid more or less weren't made to feel any different. Also beware that if you're in the "cheap" section the musicians will be expecting a tip from you, in cash even though the whole ship is cashless. Overall though, it is a nice enough experience to do along the Danube

      A Magical Night-Time Cruise in Budapest
      My partner and I had the most incredible experience on a night-time cruise in Budapest. From start to finish, everything was seamless, elegant, and truly unforgettable. The atmosphere on board was nothing short of magical. As we sailed along the Danube, the breathtaking views of Budapest’s illuminated landmarks created the perfect romantic setting. The Parliament building, Buda Castle, and the Chain Bridge all looked stunning against the night sky. A special mention must go to Valentin, who went above and beyond to make our evening perfect. He was incredibly attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed and making us feel truly looked after. His warm and professional service added a personal touch to the experience, making it even more memorable. The cruise itself was well-organised, with excellent service and a relaxed, sophisticated ambience. Whether you’re looking for a romantic evening or simply a unique way to see Budapest at night, this is an experience not to

    What a great way to see the banks of Buda and Pest. Tickets purchase was easy and good value, about £12 for basic package, no drink or food but the bar is reasonably priced about £2.90 a half litre of lager. The ship has a warm wooden sumptuous and glorious interior. The journey lasts 2 hours and the lights shining on all the beautiful buildings adorn the Danube tastefully. The staff and service was friendly and efficient, especially Fornmi (think that's how you spell it) who was a very polite, courteous and inquisitive staff member provided local info and good conversation. It's a must for any trip to Budapest.

    The fancy boat and setup was cool for a date. They setup chairs as well for those who want to sit outside while enjoying the view. I was expecting an english host who acts someone as a tour guide to discuss the views while going around the significant buildings but there was none.

    We were taken to a restaurant up stairs where you can’t see anything because it’s night time so we wanted to stay outside. Only the upstairs area was available for seating and too few chairs, it was crowded and terrible. The trip was 1h and a half and we had to stand between other passengers fighting for a bit of space. When you say it’s a relaxing cruise and you promise a beautiful experience at least provide the space for outside area. The top of the boat was sealed not like all the boats we saw around us. I didn’t expect anything from the servers but I wouldn’t recommend it to anybody. To see standing for 90 mins at 22.00 it’s ridiculous. If I had known I wouldn’t have booked it in the first place. Please check before booking if there are spaces on top of the boat as well otherwise you’ll end up like me and my friends. It’s an absolute scam and I’ve been on many boats.

    Thank you for your feedback! Depending on the ticket type, we seat our guests in the restaurant area, or in the drinks area, or on the terrace. Unfortunately, since we have limited places, if someone prefers to stay on the terrace instead of the restaurant area, there may be more people outside than is comfortable for them. We are sincerely sorry for the inconvenience and hope that we will have another chance next time and that you will feel better during our program! Our program starts at 19:00 with a 2-hour 1 hour 30 minute city tour!

    The cruise into Budapest river was fascinating. When boarding on the boat they offered us a glass of champagne or other drinks. During the trip we had live music and lots of fun. The musicians played also a famous greek song!!!! The view from the boat was extremely beautiful.

    Thanks a lot for the unforgettable trip!!!

    My wife and I booked this trip thinking it would be a lovely way to end our evening.

    We turned up at the designated meeting point as instructed 30 minutes only to find absolute chaos.

    The queue was crazy, there must have been at least 200 people waiting to board and queuing in all directions.

    No was taking charge to organise the mess so we decided to leave the chaos and not join the cruise.

    The cruize was good, live music.
    Food was disappointing.

    No Veg soup, both the soups were the same gulash with meat.

    There were just 7-8 warm dishes.
    1 chicken
    1 pork
    2-3 veg snacks

    These dishes were also bland.
    Overall not too happy with the food.

    The live music part was good.
    Drinks were decent.

    We got a very bad initial impression because we booked for the tour with the drink and the music. But they gave me the drink and asked us to sit in the basement with dim light and no music and no one else sitting there. While the upstair deck still has so many empty table. And the girl told us that we can go uo but we can't sit. Later we still go up because we think we paid for that service, but we can't enjoy it much because of this first bad experience.

    We had no confirmation of pick up so we followed up independently to confirm. We were then left waiting on the street for an hour instead of the 10 minute window that was the generic scheduled window. Budapest at night is very special which was the only redeeming feature. Crowded deck with hundreds of green flies everywhere. We didn’t redeem our second drink voucher as we’d have lost our place on the deck. Recommend trying another company before this one.
    Also, absolutely no need to have a printed ticket (which was mandated) which is a pain to find somewhere when staying independent accomodation.
