El recorrido es muy bueno. La cantidad de lugares que se visitan permite conocer ampliamente Budapest. La navegscion es una experiencia hermosa. Algunos inconvenientes fueron que la.audioguia no andaba en el asiento. Que no se enunciaban las paradas en los distintos idiomas. Y que algunas paradas estaban lejos de la atracción qué se señalaba

I enjoyed the experience of commuting throughout Budapest and seeing the local tourist attractions and historical sites. It was difficult to find the locations to hop on the bus. At one point, everyone was told to de-board the bus, but there was not an explanation given. Also, there was a lot of dead space through the ear buds, and frequently, the description of the local attraction was given after the bus had passed and the opportunity to hop off had passed.

I booked online, at first of course I was a bit skeptical. Instead everything went very well. I was in Budapest during the June 2 bridge. The booking confirmation came directly to the email. From the app I downloaded the tickets. Punctual departure, 10 p.m. sailing. recommend bringing a sweatshirt or jacket. The view was very very nice

Great! Got there earlier than our actual timing, so we changed and just hopped on to an ealier cruise and they let us. Worth your money and time!

It was a beautiful experience. The illuminated Parliament is spectacular. On the boat, unfortunately, there was not all the free space on the open-air roof, only half of it, so not everyone could look out over the river or take pictures without the presence of other people. However, the monuments could still be seen well

The Danube River cruise is a must-see in Budapest, which meant that there were a lot of people on the ship. So many that it is impossible to enjoy the cruise and the views. In my opinion, there were too many people allowed on board, if it had been a more intimate cruise (e.g., that as many people were allowed on board as there are seats) it would have been a 10/10 experience

Very good but not great. The baths are considered the most luxurious, but I think you have to understand by the: historical. The place is beautiful but needs major renovation. If you've forgotten your equipment, it's possible to buy it all on site. The cabins are very practical for leaving personal belongings. The pools are top-notch, especially the 40-degree pool. Beware, this is a mixed area. The outdoor pool was crowded. Good experience, but not exceptional. I'd recommend it!

The building and the spa are really great. The architecture, the ambience, the pools. Overall it was very crowded, which firstly made it very noisy and secondly there was a lack of loungers to rest and relax. In addition, the outdoor pool was not open and the staff were simply unfriendly. A great pity. Important: Take a swimming cap with you or alternatively be prepared to buy one in the spa store at the entrance. Bathing caps must be worn in the swimming pool, not in the thermal pools!

The thermal pools are great, there are different pools with different temperatures. The main pool requires you to wear swincap, the others don't. The "cabin" is really just a cubicle ideal for a single person to change in - perfectly functional. The warm pools are quite relaxing and enjoyable.

Very nice different pools at different temperatures But it's a pity that the 50 m pool is being renovated.

The Szechenyi Thermal baths were fantastic. What a lovely experience, varying from the thermal outdoor pools to a wide variety of indoor pools, all at different temperatures. Everything was well organised and easy to navigate.

The reservation with Headout was no problem. We went in and everything we booked was included. Széchenyi Spa was a disappointment. Too many people and the outside pools were separated by a tarp (perhaps construction work) which made it look bad. I regret having opted for this spa. I am sure any other in Budapest would have been a more pleasant experience. I will be back

A great day out and once in a lifetime experience, however the main pool is closed for refurbishment (as you can see on the right of the photograph, there was scaffolding all round it) which we had not been told about. We would've chosen a different experience had we known. Was a bit disappointing.

Although the actual baths were awesome there were some points that needed to be made. The biggest one obviously is the elephant in the room which is that nearly half the outside area is totally unavailable as the central swimming zone is being repaired and was covered by tarpaulin of some sort which was really ugly. I think this inconvenience should be reflected in some sort of a discount on the price. It was also exceptionally busy at the weekend but apart from these two issues it was undoubtedly a once in a lifetime experience which I would highly recommend.

The spaciousness of the leisure space offered by the hot springs. In addition, as we went on a weekday, the number of people was much smaller than if we had gone on a weekend, which is appreciated.

The space was beautiful, it was just a shame that the larger spa was under construction, but I found the experience incredible. I loved the fact that the side spas had different temperatures, with one being hotter and more relaxing, and the other being cooler. I think the infrastructure is worthy of applause, even with a lot of people you could swim to your heart's content. The interior was equally beautiful, with many different pools and baths. I would definitely go back to experience it again. Thank you

The entrance was quick. The locker is in a dressing room next to more lockers, it is not private, but it is correct. Apart from the outside space, which is not accessible from inside, there are several other rooms inside with different pools at different temperatures. In my opinion, 2-3 hours is enough to see it and enjoy everything.

Despite the crowds, the two outdoor pools out of 3 were not saturated. It's a pity that the center pool was still under construction. The interior of the buildings is typical, but also in need of a facelift. We've been transported to another era, but the site is nonetheless pretty.

Lugar bonito y agradable, cuesta encontrar la puerta de acceso. Piscina en reparación por lo que no pudimos utilizarla y pagamos la entrada completa. Pocos wc para muchas personas y hay público que lo utiliza para vestirse. Debería estar más controlado.

Acceptable is fine and I didn't necessarily have to have any problems. But for an experience to be good or excellent we are talking about the facilities being unbeatable and everything being at the client's disposal.

The thermal baths are a real blast! Although the central outdoor pool is under construction, everything else is in operation and worth a visit. The cruise on the Danube at night was spectacular! We forgot the headphones and still we could download the pdf guide that explained in writing the same as the audio guide said, in order and with pictures! A 10!!! I recommend you to take the side where the guide starts (download it first in the QR that there is at the entrance and look what is the first thing that speaks to you), in our case it was the right side. If we come back we will repeat!

Very nice cruise with stunning views and the perfect angles for good souvenir photos. The shecheny baths was very impressive but they don't tell you that the main pool is under repair and limits the experience a bit. But still worth the check out ✅️

Frankly, it's pleasant, but the work on the central pool really spoils the overall impression, which is a shame! Also, it's not very well maintained given the price per person: lots of chipped tiles on the floors, paintwork... I'm a bit disappointed!

The water outside had a nice and warm temperature. Nice to have steps to sit on . I thought the showers were fine but little room to dry yourself and the door was open into the hall, so my opinion is that the shower room could be updated. The baths inside were nice as well as the saunas. All the best from Iceland :-))

Everything worked out wonderfully. It was easy to find our way around, we had a locker but no cabin. The bathroom was being remodeled, so only a good, it could have been specified. There are a lot of people there but you don't really feel it. We benefited from the sauna and steam room and so after the bath I had no more pain in my legs after a long time.

The calmness with which we navigated gave the opportunity to see, photograph, film all the beauty of Budapest. The audio guide support was most useful because it is always nice to know the history. Kudos to the girls, very kind and patient in accommodating all requests on board

I really enjoyed the tour taken on the Danube cruise because I got to see the city lit up at night. It was very exciting. I recommend showing up much earlier at embarkation because there was a long line of people.
