Description

Have you ever wondered, how beautiful Budapest would look at night from the magical river Danube?

Both sides 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 even more than this: This is the only boat tour in Budapest, where a local, licensed tour guide accompanies you and our small group and you get to learn all that you always wanted to learn about the city. From funny anecdotes to mysterious legends, 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.

If you are interested in renting a private boat or other e.g. walking tours, send a pm:)
We also organize private boat hire for birthday parties, proposals, stag parties, etc. Please inbox me for details!
