Great experience! The boat tour started on time and the interior was very comfortable and allowed us to see all the main points of interest with the evening lights! Really impressive! We recommend 7.00 pm, an excellent compromise to go to dinner after but to savor the experience already at night!

We came with friends for a Check-out at 7:40 pm in August and we took full view during the cruise hour ... we were treated to the pink sky of sunset as well as the buildings lit at night ... it was the perfect timing!
The boat is rather large, and clean, the staff is welcoming.
I recommend!!!

Very nice and also romantic experience. We booked online by choosing the 7:40pm sunset tour. Optimal choice also because we saw the buildings both with the colors of the sunset and illuminated in the dark. It is advisable to go a little earlier so as not to be the last to enter. We had a great time. great value for money. The Recommendation

Freezing onboard, windows completely steamed up so could not see anything. Audio guide only accessible via qr code requiring headphones. No announcements about any passing sites. 60 minutes of my life I will never get back. Might be better spring-autumn

Absolutely waste of time and money.
The tour was crowded, the windows were foggy and we could not seen anything.
If it’s cold outside, your experience will be like in the attached picture.
We felt it like a tourist trap.

we went on the parliament boat tour. Lovely views of Parliament, the castle and other things, drinks and popcorn available on board but couldve been better with an interactive tour guide not just facts on the screen. After about 20 minutes it gets a bit samesy but I would recommend.

We had a bit of a drama getting onboard as they had mixed our group of three with a group of 10 English louts and they weren’t going to let us on. I’ll make an exception as hopefully it was a language barrier. The tour was ok. It wasn’t too fancy but it was well priced. It didn’t take in anything more than the main sights and there was no commentary from guides - you had to read it off a TV screen. It was literally down one side turn and back up.

I went on the night time 1 hour cruise, I was solo as my partner was ill.
It was so packed and crowded , the noise from everyone meant you couldn’t hear anyone speaking over the tannoy .
We were told to sit but if you wanted a decent picture you had to stand at window. The windows were steamed up also.
Although the lights were turned off there was light from the tvs and toilet areas which interfered with pictures.
Good job it was cheap.
If you walk that far down the Danube at night you’ll get good pictures from the river bank. Better than on boat.

Beautiful experience and maximum availability of the staff!
We had booked the cruise at 21:40 on October 11, then we asked if we could bring it forward and Vincenzo agreed, without any hesitation.
Highly recommend the company!

Great tour if it weren't for the people who couldn't sit and blocked my view by taking photos even with flash. Thanks to the employee who was outside the ship for asking me if I wanted an extra jacket because I felt cold and thanks also to Kitty for making the visit even more pleasant.
Highly recommended but sit in front of everyone
