The river cruise is one of the most stunning scenes of a city that you can experience. The narration on the boat could have been better synched, but overall it was worth the money!

Christie was a wonderful tour guide and host of her city. She listened to what I'd already seen and what my interests were to tailor the experience to what would be most captivating to me. She was clearly knowledgeable about the sites and stories behind them as well as tips for what to do/see on my own. Everything was made easy for the boat cruise on the Danube which offered audio tours in many languages. Christie's warmth and professionalism made me feel happy with my choice to use this company. It's well worth the price for this tour.

Great guide on this tour, a language student who lived in the city. She gave us really great information and helped us understand the meanings of many monuments including communist, WWII and Cold War symbolism. I'm making it sound boring but it was really interesting. She was awesome and their office is clean, welcoming, has chairs, drinks and clean bathrooms. I would have loved to have her with me everyday I was there.

It was definitely one of the highlights from my trip. The boat cruise was fun...and we got to see the famous Parliament building along the way.

Budapest at night is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The Parliament Building all lit up is gorgeous. Cruising the river and having the guide explain about the buildings and bridges is a great way to experience the city.

A lot of fast paced walking. I am athletic but thought it would be more of a stroll, so didn't dress appropriately. Wear gym clothes and tennies. Sad history but loved learning about it. Was a long line for the boat which was covered and VERY crowded, so opted to just go back to the hotel.

Great Tour, too bad it was raining, but it wasn't too bad. Tour leader, Peter, was a trooper not missing a beat and was good a presenting the things we saw. Went to some offbeat areas, areas we wouldn't have seen during our short stay in Budapest.

We had taken the Budapest history walking tour earlier in the day so much of the information and sights were similar. It was, however, impressive to see the historical sights all lit up at night and we enjoyed the boat ride which gave us the most incredible photos of the sights along the river. There was also a wonderfully narrated video on the boat which had great information about the landmarks. Being on the Danube at night in this magnificent city is magical!

Very informative guide who was very knowledgeable about the city. There was no sign up about Viatours at the office so we were unsure if we had the correct start location.

The walking tour is informative and the Parliament is particularly breathtaking. You will need to book other tours if you want to go in any of the buildings since it is just a two hour walk and lets you see so much. Then you board a ship for an unforgettable cruise on the Danube with amazing palaces, churches, cliffs, seemingly hundreds of impressive things to see. I very highly recommend this tour.

Our tour guide was very informative and she definitely did a wonderful job. Highly recommend this if you would like to get to know Budapest in a time-limited but informative way.

The first night we arrived in Budapest, we had booked the night walking tour with the river cruise. Our guide was George and he was fantastic! His energy level was contagious, he encouraged questions both of him and those he asked of the group, and he gave us a great overview of the city. We saw many of the main historical sites, which were extraordinarily beautiful through twilight and as evening descended onto Budapest. It really helped us determine where we wanted to revisit later in our trip. We were definitely sad to leave him when we boarded the Danube cruise, but he encouraged us to stop by the shop if we had any questions about what to see later in our trip. The Danube cruise was beautiful, but it was a little long in my opinion and the video on the boat wasn't nearly as entertaining as George. I even found it a little distracting with so many of the beautiful sites right outside the window. Overall, the night walking tour is a great overview of the city and the cruise is a great way to rest your feet after a long day of walking. Highly recommend.

Brigitte gave us a lovely tour. She is passionate and knowledgable about her country. My husband and I were the only ones in this Monday night tour so it was very personal. We highly recommend thus your especially if you do no have a lot of time in Budapest. It is a good way to understand the history and geography._br/_ Kathy and Gregg_br/_ Toronto Canada

The walking tour was great, our tour guide was very interesting and adjusted to our needs._br/_ The views from the river cruise are tremendous, although it was sometimes difficult to keep up with what is pointed out in the video and audio recording and what you are actually passing by.
