Organ Concert in the St. Stephen's Basilica with Optional Danube Cruise

Lovely music and venue. Followed by an equally beautiful view from the river with good food and good wine.

Spent about 70 minutes listening to the organ soloist, an operatic male singer and a flutist both accompanied by the organ. Can recommend the concert but the caveat that you enjoy organ music first.

The organ concert was very good, with an orderly ticket process, and the Danube cruise w/two drinks was lovely -- but transferring from the church to a somewhat chaotic meeting point and the walk down a dark path to the dock needs reevaluation.

We only attended the concert without the dinner. If you like organ music, you will love hearing it in the Basilica!

I am truly glad I had the opportunity to experience such a gorgeous church and the wonderful music played. There was organ music, a flute player and male singer. They were all lovely.

Excellent opportunity to experience culture in Europe The scene is set with the basilica and environment Music amazing instrument solo teary stuff Booking front seats only way to go place easy to find

A very nice evening with an organ concert and beautiful sights after on the Danube River. The cruise was great and only attend the concert if you love organ music.

Organ Concert at St. Stephen's was well done and river cruise was filled with beautiful sights. Only go if you like organ music.

Concert included three performers, including organist, flutist, and oratorio singer. All very good. Acoustics were amazing. Cruise, however, had a few issues. The walk from the basilica to the cruise ship was quite long. OK for us, but some people looked to struggle to get there. They said 5 or 10 minutes but it was more like 15 minutes, at a leisurely pace. Once on the ship, we were seated promptly, and left dock. Seeing the sights was tough, given the need to focus on getting food at the buffet, and also due to the bright lights inside, which made it hard to see outside without a lot of glare on the windows. For the buffet itself: 1. Make a point of getting there early to enjoy the full selection. I was one of the last, and several dishes were gone. 2. Food quality was 5 out of 10. Meats were good, veggies were store-bought frozen variety, steamed fish was mushy. 3. If you need gluten free foods, they have identified them on the little tags in front of each dish, if they arent missing several were. However, when asking the server about what was or was not gluten free, I was initially told that a number of items were GF by one server, and when my instinct said that was unlikely, I was told by another that they werent. Fortunately I only ate one small non-GF desert, but that could be really bad for a severe celiac. Point is, while the menu shows what is and isnt GF for most items, take great care in selecting what you eat if thats an issue for you. A couple of final notes: no safety instructions, so I would have no idea where life jackets are if they should be needed, and by request, apparently the live entertainment played the theme song for Titanic... which was great for a laugh near the end of the cruise! Kudos to Molnar Peter, a super-helpful and friendly member of the dinner staff. One extra star just because of him!

The music and the acoustics were great. The only downside when we went was that it was very warm inside the church. If you are interested in this one, I would advise buying the VIP for the sole reason that you get to sit up front. Otherwise, you get the very back of the church for general seating.
