The transport was very good. Shame there was no guide on board the boat telling you briefly about things. Enjoyed the day and walk up to the castle.

It's worth taking the boat at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, as there's a great knight show at 12:30 p.m. at the castle in Vyšehrad (for a small fee). The kids loved it, and so did the adults—a fantastic show for everyone!
