Description
Forget boring audio guides! Join a local, experienced, professional & friendly guide just for you and our small group, for a personalized experience on the Danube.
Have you ever wondered how beautiful Budapest would look at night from the magical Danube?
Both sides - Buda and Pest - are part of the UNESCO Heritage, so you can't miss this chance! With an experienced captain, friendly crew, and a fully serviced bar, you'll explore & enjoy a side of the city you've never seen before.
You'll see the iconic landmarks of Budapest from the river, such as: Chain Bridge, Hungarian Parliament building (the 3rd biggest parliament in the world!), Buda Castle, Fisherman's Bastion, and more...all beautifully lit up, the MUST DO boat cruise of Europe!
But we offer MORE than the ordinary cruises: This is THE ONLY boat tour in Budapest where a local, licensed tour guide accompanies you and our small group (no impersonal audioguide!), and you get to learn all that you always wanted to know about the city. From funny anecdotes through mysterious legends to important historical information, this tour is perfectly curated for the group - get personal recommendations, ask questions you always wanted to know about Hungarian culture, while enjoying the magnificent lights of the city!
We're a small group of local, licensed tour guides born and raised in Budapest, living and breathing the city every day. Want more than just taking photos and looking at the sights, but having no idea about their history?
We tell you all you have to know, and we're also happy to take pictures of you to have the perfect romantic or family memory from your Budapest trip, with the signature landmarks.
Private Events & Custom Requests
Planning a birthday party, a romantic proposal, or a bachelor/bachelorette party? We also organize private boat rentals for your special occassion, or if you simply prefer more privacy.
How to reach us: If you are interested in a private experience or have any special requests, simply send us a message through the platform!
- Your Guide is Your Ticket: The boat staff will not accept your GYG voucher directly at the gate. You must board together with your guide, who holds the official group ticket.
- Where to meet: Look for your guide at the meeting point. You will receive detailed information from your guide about meeting details well before the start of the tour.
- Self-boarding policy: Please note that if you board independently without the guide, you will be charged the boat's standard ticket fee by the crew, and we cannot issue a refund for missed group boarding.
- To ensure comfort, our tours take place on a spacious sightseeing boat. While there will be other passengers on board, only our group will receive live guiding by a local, licensed tour guide. In case you'd prefer to rent a private boat for your group/family/yourself, please find "Rent your boat" as a separate product or inquire in a message here (message provider option)!
