Things to do in Danube River
Glorified by Johann Strauss II in one of the most famous waltzes ever written, the blue Danube River runs through the center of Budapest, cutting the city in two parts - Buda and Pest. Not only is it the dividing line, it’s also a vantage point for the best views on magnificent Budapest. If you’re new to the city, there's probably no better way to explore it than by a scenic Danube cruise. Sit back and relax while taking in the city’s rich historic and cultural sights, which include the Gellért Hill with its Liberty Statue and the opulent buildings of the Buda Castle complex.

Reviews Danube River
“The tour was pretty average sadly and fell well short of the bus tour we enjoyed in Vienna which was first class”
“The green route was non existence or not running no explanation as to why. The commentary wasn't very good. The map did not correlate to the bus stops and they were hard to find”
“We bought this experience before departure thinking that it would be a lovely end to our cruise. what we did not know at the time was that the very same evening, on board the TUI Maya there would be Hungarian dancing, the evening meal, and a movie on the top deck. So we did not go on the experience. By the time we realised. it was too late to get a refund. Maybe this information could be flagged up so that other travellers do not pay for experiences that they subsequently find they do not want.”
“We did not attend the hour and half boat trip simply because the boat station was too far to walk for my wife and the weather was extremely windy and cold, and this being our first cruise not realised I would not have booked this trip ,in future will not book trips until I am on board, was disappointed with the information given to me over the phone.”
