Budapest Night Cruises & Boat Tours — Local services in Budapest

Today, we took the Big Bus Tours Hop-on Hop-off Red Line with a group of 7. Unfortunately, it was one of the worst experiences I've had. The audio guide in German was absolutely dreadful—the speed of the narration was nearly twice as fast as normal speech, making it almost impossible to follow. To make matters worse, the tour itself was poorly organized and gave very little useful information about the sights. At 38€, it felt like a total rip-off; honestly, the experience wasn’t even worth 10€.

We took the last slot of the evening from Pier 0 - The boat was very comfortable and sported modern decor inside. There was bottomless prosecco on offer, non-alcoholic drinks & some food which wasn't covered in the ticket price. The views and infomation about the sights along the Danube was interesting, we were also treated to a great music playlist which kept the mood fun. The whole thing lasted around 90 minutes. The only downsides are you are swarmed with scam taxi's on exiting the boat and if you've been aboard with people who can't handle their drink you'll likely be seeing people throwing up and stumbling around drunk as a skunk which can put a bit of a...
