“We went to the 4:40pm tour and it was all really organized, we got there 15 min before departure and you just go and scan your QR code from Viator. They have headphones with an interesting audio guide in many languages. The view at night is awesome from all the buildings we passed by, and after 1 hour of ride we were back at the pier. Really recommended to see many of the Budapest attractions at night.”
