A taste of Hungary folkdance - We enjoyed the experience. Signs on walls had some interesting facts about local foods drinks and customs. The servers were friendly and the space was like a wine cellar . The music two violins and base was very nice and the musicians had fun playing. The dancers, two couples were energetic and engaging and close up. They danced maybe 6-8 dances in two sets with one costume change. We enjoyed getting to balance wine bottle on our heads for pictures. We had goulash with our tickets but you are also able to order off the menu so we got dessert too!

Charming Older Town - Interesting excursion. Train ride to see some of the countryside and arrived at a charming and older town. Lots of sights and food, beverage and shopping options. Rudi our guide was well informed about Hungary and the town and very accommodating to our walking limits. Loved the day!

Affordable and excellent cultural display - This show features talented dancers and (in my opinion) even more talented musicians. The show is fairly short (roughly 90 minutes) so I recommend seeing if you can fit it into your schedule. The music, dancing, and outfits will definitely make you feel as though you're in a different era. The only recommendation I have for the show is to have a pamphlet or something that explains what you're seeing and exactly when/where it's from. There are plenty of restaurants immediately next to the theater and we found the area safe and well-lit. You can also pay a bit extra and take advantage of the taxi pickup/drop-off option to your hotel. Regardless, we found the theater nice and the show highly entertaining.

Unforgettable evening of entertainment - An absolutely amazing performance from the musicians and dancers. It was very lively the whole time and I felt like I learnt a lot from watching the performance about traditional Hungarian culture. The only issue I had were some guests were inconsiderate and standing up in front of people to get pictures of the performance. Luckily it was just briefly, but it was a bit selfish and if they wanted a better view they should have paid more money for better seats like we had done.

Total waste of time and money! - What's the point of going to a dance show when you can't see the dancers from the waist down? The venue, which is one long aisle with tables and chairs on both sides, is not constructed for this kind of show. When we asked the waiter if the dancers were ever going to come down to our end of the aisle he said no. Then he said, "I know. That sucks for you." No kidding. We left halfway through.

The show was much smaller than advertised so we were disappointed. - I was informed this would be in a theater with many dancers on stage and more musicians. Instead , it was a cabaret setting with 2 couples doing a few dances and a 3 musicians. The music was partly Hungarian but mostly not. The music and dancing were fine, but not what was advertised. It would not have been so disappointing if we had known what to expect. False advertising

Tourist trap - It is a tourist trap, very disappointing. The show lasts up to 30 minutes, the dancers and costumes are very ordinary, as is the meal.

Horrible experience - Worst experience with a ticket agent ever. I can’t comment on the show but I won’t patronize businesses who clearly hate tourists. Asked to see a seating chart and the agent flipped out. I like to know what I’m buying, doesn’t seem unreasonable. To the management your employee on 5/19 at 11:30’should be fired for his rude and unprofessional behavior. I wanted to see this performance but not worth the aggravation. Big skip for me
