A nice little tour along the river. Short enough free beer and ice cream. You get to see the canals and the main events from the river. def recommend if you don't have too much time. The ladies at the ticket office were extremely rude when we picked up the ticket, really felt like a computer says no situation.

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.

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.

A quick but very pleasant little tour. The ticket comes with a drink and a snack, which makes for a peaceful boat ride (smaller group than some of the other tours, maybe a max of 15-20 people) around the river. The audio guide points out some interesting history associated with the Charles Bridge, old town, River, lesser town, etc. Meanwhile it’s fun to explore the river and a small little canal as well. Boats leave every 15-20 mins so it’s easy to fit into your schedule.

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
