1-hour Danube cruise in Budapest with Tokaj Frizzante, phone audio guide in 30 languages, and comfy indoor or open-air views.

“A must do when you get to Budapest. We booked the 6pm trip. Got there around ten minutes before. We were welcomed with a glass of prosecco each or you could have had a juice. We sat inside as it started to rain but you could still see everything and it was very cosy. Some of the boats doing trips are really big and some looked like party boats. This however was a lovely relaxed trip with friendly welcoming staff. We ordered another drink each and some chips and pretzels and that was enough for the 1 hour journey. When I am back in beautiful Budapest I will certainly book…”
