Description
Experience Budapest like never before – from the deck of your group’s very own chartered boat, with a certified local guide, a welcome drink in hand, and the main sights of Budapest lit up, from a unique perspective: from the magical Danube! The boat cruise you MUST take in Europe, as Budapest is the city where you can actually see most of the main sights from the river and they're all beautifully lit up after dark!
This is not just another touristy boat ride. This is your chance to explore the city from a unique, intimate angle – as one of just max 15 guests aboard a private boat booked exclusively for your our group. No mass crowds, no audio guides, no stress. Just real stories, real connections, and real views. No queuing, no need to arrive an hour before to secure a good seat. The exclusive, small private boat is only ours and we keep our groups small with a maximum of 15 guests (minimum 6 to launch).
During this 60 minute journey, your licensed, local Budapest guide will share the city's most fascinating stories – from hidden affairs and political intrigue to architecture and urban legends – all in a relaxed, interactive way. You’ll see the city’s most iconic sights, including the Parliament, Buda Castle, Chain Bridge, and Gellért Hill, all while sipping a glass of Hungarian wine or a refreshing orange juice (included).
With limited departures each week and just 15 seats available per tour, this is truly a unique, intimate experience. Whether you're a solo traveler, a couple, or a group of friends, you’ll enjoy the atmosphere of a private charter exclusively for our group. On other boat cruises you share the boat with 150-300 people and guiding is not included. Here you share with maximum 14 other people, so no noise, no crowd, the hussle of queuing or printing tickets ...we take care of it all!
Your tour guide is also happy to give you personalised recommendations and answer any question you might have - we grew up here & licensed tour guides, so happy to help you out, take family or couple pictures, recommend the best thermal baths or restaurants! We provide the human perspective, which you cannot find on other Budapest cruises - as they only have audioguides or not even that.
