Our editorial approach
Budapest Boat Tours publishes independent visitor information for people planning a trip in Budapest. We are not the attraction, and we do not sell tickets directly. Our aim is to explain what a visitor can expect, using clear language and practical details rather than promotional copy.
Before publication, we compare supplied site facts with publicly available information from the attraction and trusted destination sources. For Budapest, that may include the official Budapest tourism body and other primary references that describe sightseeing on the Danube. We keep the copy conservative when details are unclear or appear to vary by season, product or provider.
Primary-source checking
We prioritise official and primary sources wherever possible. That means we look first for the attraction’s own published information, then cross-check with relevant tourism or public-authority pages when they help confirm general visitor context. If a detail is not well supported, we either leave it out or phrase it as something visitors should confirm directly.
For practical information such as prices, opening arrangements, departure points, ticket categories or included services, we treat published information as the starting point, not a guarantee. Content may change after we publish, so we encourage visitors to re-check important details with the attraction or booking provider before travelling.
Source records and review process
We keep internal notes on the main source material used for each page or update. Those notes help us track when a fact was last checked and which source supported it. This process is designed to improve reliability, not to create legal proof or a complete archive of every website change.
Pages may be reviewed again when we notice a material update, when a visitor report suggests a problem, or when published information appears inconsistent. We do not promise continuous real-time monitoring, so a page that was accurate when reviewed may later become outdated.
How we handle pricing and availability
Published prices, schedules and availability can move quickly, especially for cruises, timed departures and partner offers. We therefore treat these items as time-sensitive and label them cautiously. If we mention a price or included feature, it reflects the latest published information we could verify at the time of writing.
We do not invent discounts, guarantees or bundle benefits. If a provider changes an offer, the provider’s live page controls the final terms. Visitors should confirm the exact booking selection, total price, date, and any extra charges before completing a reservation.
Independence and affiliate relationships
Our editorial decisions are independent from affiliate commissions. We may include GetYourGuide affiliate links because they help support the site, but a link does not determine whether a product is included, excluded or recommended. We aim to keep comparisons fair and to explain the trade-offs plainly.
Where affiliate links appear, they are part of our commercial model and should be understood as such. The booking provider handles the transaction, and its own terms govern the purchase, any amendments, cancellations and refunds.
Corrections and reader feedback
If you spot an error, an outdated detail or a broken booking reference, you can contact us at info@budapest-boattours.com. We review credible correction requests and update pages where appropriate. When a correction is material, we try to remove ambiguity from the affected section rather than quietly rewording around the problem.
We may not publish a public change log for every minor update, but we do aim to keep the content current and accurate enough for trip planning. If a detail matters to your visit, treat the page as guidance and verify it again close to your travel date.
Editorial limits
We do not claim first-hand testing, staff access, official status or insider knowledge unless we clearly say so. We also avoid unsupported historical, operational or legal statements. When the evidence is thin, we prefer a careful omission over a confident guess.
Our editorial standard is simple: useful, current enough for planning, and honest about what is verified versus what may have changed.
