    First a perfect sunset, then dusk and later the lights of the magnificent buildings on both sides of the Danube. Our (first) stay in Budapest could not have started better! If you book the piano battle, you sit in the upper, smaller dining room of the ship, where there are only two rows of tables. Each table is therefore right next to the window, which can be opened. We liked the music (pop music) and the two pianists played very well. The three-course menu, which offered the option of choosing between different dishes, also tasted good. We didn't book the drinks as all "inclusive", but paid for them individually, which was the cheaper option for us. The staff were all very nice. We spent three pleasant, entertaining and well-organized hours on this boat trip.

    wonderful music and view, food ok, service ok. We paid 30 extra euros to have a table by the window but in the piano Battle room all tables are by the window so we were really upset about this. Also, people who book a 2 courses dinner are served food only after 6 courses people have finished their first two courses, which means you can get really hangry.

    Nice experience, good food but I think it's better to choose 6 - Course Dinner cruise as, otherwise you, that choosed 3 course dinner(soup, main course and desert) will wait to get your soup until the one with 6 course dinner will receive their soup to come all together. It was ok for us to not include the drinks, there are some nice options to choose on your own. The piano battle is more a piano jazz battle with some interventions of a lady singer most în the last half an hour of the program. Prepare tips for the band! Beautiful views outside, I would choose the 3 hour tour in order to catch the night also, beautiful view of the lighted builduings.
