Can I bring my bicycle?
No, unfortunately bicycles can not be transported on our boats. Naturally we are happy to see you choosing a healthy method of transportation. Also there is a railing in front of the boat at the pier where you can lock your bicycle.
I need invoice on a third party booking
When you need an invoice (VAT invoice) on a third party booking, then you need to provide use the following details:
– booking identifier – NOT your booking name, user name or password
– name on the invoice
– your VAT/Tax No. (when you have such)
– your full address (street, house, city, counrty, zip)
– your email
Failing to provide the above data makes it impossible to deliver an invoice.
Please note that the email on the invoice will be delivered to the address provided, therefore it is preferred that you use your normal, regular email address not the temporary like the one provided by Getyourguide, Viator. Pictures or data not meeting the above set will not be processed.
Please also note that invoices may only be requested for eight days from the time the cruise took place. Not earlier, nor later. Repeat, the first date when the invoice can be issued is the day of the cruise, after it took place, the last day is the eight days thereof. The invoices are issued only once. See nav.gov.hu/pfile/file?path=/ugyfeliranytu/nezzen-utana/inf_fuz/rejtett/Informacios-fuzetek—Aktualis/18.-informacios-fuzet—A-szamla-nyugta-kibocsatasanak-alapveto-szabalyai (in Hungarian only).
In case the booking is made on our website, then the invoice is immediately issued – as an automatic invoicing software is in place there.
