Basically everything is fine. What we wanted to see - we saw. The only thing is the guide's voice is hard to hear when people are constantly talking around + if you do not queue earlier, you may have a problem with good places (better views). Besides, everything is fine :)

Great cruise, not many people attended the late night cruise (21:30) so we got upper side spots on tables. The cruise took 70 minutes as promised with a 10 minute or so stationing on a deck next to the Parliment for some reason. We expected to cruise further Margit Island but they turned around there; anyhow all touristic spots from the Danube has been checked out during our cruise. I totally recommend it, even thought the ship wasn't so new. 4.5/5 from me

The ride was good overall. You could get drinks downstairs which many fellow passengers did. We saw the castle and the parliament and since it was almost time for sunset, the parliament was in a great light. The only negative thing for me were the seats but it didn‘t ruin anything for me
