Private Danube Boat Ride (50-Minute)

About the Danube boat ride

In Budapest, the limousine has learned to swim.

Climb aboard your own private boat for 50 minutes of music, sightseeing and laughs with the lads. Cruise beneath Budapest’s famous bridges and pass some of the city’s most impressive riverside landmarks while playing your own soundtrack.

This is a comfortable sightseeing ride rather than a high-speed experience. It is an easy addition to a packed stag-do itinerary and a brilliant way to enjoy Budapest on a sunny afternoon.
