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
“Time slot changed twice, probably for several guests so was very full and noisy. Nice to have the headsets and alot of information provided which was interesting but couldn't tell what was being described at times as not obvious or on other side of boat and out of view. The included drink seemed rushed and with little information of how it worked/ what you can have, but the servers were amazing at remembering the drinks people ordered. Would suggest having head sets explaining each view point”
“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.”
