I’m really glad I booked this excursion through Klook! I received the final confirmation a day before the trip, which gave me peace of mind. Mitch, our guide and driver, was fantastic. He picked us up directly from our accommodation, and the minivan was very comfortable. Since it was a small group, we all agreed to visit Budapest first, as it was farther away. It turned out to be a great decision—we had plenty of time to enjoy both Budapest and Bratislava without feeling rushed. Mitch was a safe and friendly driver, and he kept us well taken care of with bottled water and snacks throughout the journey. Highly recommended for a smooth and enjoyable day trip!

The itinerary is very rich, but there is no guide! ! Those who want to listen to the guide can pay attention~ The interior of the cruise ship is decorated in traditional European style, which is very clean and comfortable overall; enjoy traditional Hungarian food and appreciate traditional Hungarian dance💃🕺 Very good👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 But you have to eat lunch, watch the show + pay attention to the scenery outside the window, take pictures at the same time, it's really busy😅

I highly recommend it! The sunset time is very late in the summer. If you choose the 8:30 show, it may not be completely dark when it ends. I recommend choosing the 10:00 show.

This is a must-do tour when visiting Budapest. We attended the 9:30 show, which was perfect in the summer. The whole city was glittering by the river, which was very charming.

Although the ticket price seems a bit expensive at first glance, it is about the same price as the official website, and the entry is fast and convenient with no time limit. There are many pools, but unfortunately the large outdoor pool is under renovation. The private room is great, very private, and it is safe to lock your things in it.

You must take a cruise when you go to Budapest. The night is really beautiful. The time for the cruise on 6/16 was 20:30. I suggest taking a later cruise, because it was still bright when I uploaded at 20:30. I didn’t see the night view until I was about to get off the boat. Then I had to get off the boat. In summer, it might be more appropriate to take a cruise at 21:00 or later.

Attila was punctual and very accommodating as we lost our way. he waited patiently and gave us time to catch our breath before we are ready for the photoshoot. Attila is a very professional photographer that respect his clients’ culture and values as he asked in advance our level of comfort on how we wish our photos to be taken. He helped us who are noob at modelling and how to pose for the pictures. I’m very grateful to Attila for capturing my family’s photo as we celebrate our 20th anniversary and I would like to strongly recommend those who wish to have a family photos to be taken by a photographer in Budapest to hire Attila as their photographer. Trust me, you will never regret it. Thank you so much Attila for your superb service. Love to see the beautiful Budapest through your lens.
