Nice tour overall. Very limited in area covered. Basically just does a few loops around Charles Bridge. The complimentary drink and snack was nice and so were the headphones we were given to listen to the audio in our language. Information shared was also interesting

It was relaxing and we got a good idea of the history of the Charles Bridge and landmarks of Prague city. We get a beverage and little snack(ginger bread /icecream bar) with audioguide. The boat is vintage style look so you get the experience which is better than other high speed boats. You get a ticket to Charles Bridge Museum which was not so fascinating for me.

This was the most enjoyable activity of my visit to Prague. Our captain was very knowledgeable and made it fun too. He sang Nessun Dorma in pitch perfect Italian as we passed by the arts theatre and made the boat trip entertaining. I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone visiting Prague, it was exhilarating to see the beautiful city from a different angle.

Very nice cruise. Welcoming staff. The ticket office for the exchange of tickets is very easy to find: next to the church, a large "museum" sign with stairs. Boarding is done behind the building where we pick up the tickets. You can choose your drink from 3 choices then we will give you a snack + headphones for the audio guide which is available in French. I recommend

I highly recommend the cruise. The marina and ship staff were very nice and helpful. Beautiful views! One of the Best way to first contact with the city. It's a pity that the tour organizer did not inform me in any way about the closure of the attraction due to too high water levels in the river. I didn't receive an email, text message or notification in the app. Only on arrival it turned out that the cruises did not take place on that day. I had to come back the next day.

We booked this very spontaneously and were very happy we did. It is a small low wooden boat with maybe 20 people on it, which is much more fun than the big boats with too many people. The staff was very friendly and you here some information and fun facts about Prague and some of the monuments that you see from the river. You also go into one of the canals. I am not a fan of guided tours, but in this case - money well spent.
