Hello,
you just need to choose the option from the booking form.

I hope I could be of help.
Would like to contact via phone or whatsapp.
I would like to make a reservation for me, my wife and 2 years old child,
with a windows table.
1) I couldn’t find the option for reserving a window table.
2) do i have to pay full price for my child ?
3) can I bring my child’s stroller ?
Looking forward to your response.
Thanks in Advance
Hello Tarek,
window tables are unfortunately booked up already, the panorama can be enjoyed from non-window tables too.
There is no special rate for children on special dates. Please use the comment field to indicate that you have a stroller and you can also request a high-chair for the child. Just for your reference, the Piano dinner cruise is 3 h long and free for children on other dates.
Have a nice stay in Budapest!
