A 2-hour Budapest Danube dinner cruise with 4 courses, a welcome drink, and Hungarian operetta and folk entertainment with night views.
“We thoroughly enjoyed our evening dinner cruise. The entertainment was of a high standard and performed enthusiastically. The staff generally were very friendly and helpful. By way of constructive criticism, I didn’t think the four course and window seat options were value for money. The seating arrangement only gave one party member the view. The appetiser course consisted of one cheese (?) ball presented on a spoon. I thought there might have been more to it for the cost. The main course could have been warmer also. A memorable night out all the same.”
