The three of us had a guided tour and it was great. Our guide explained everything very well and we learned a lot about Prague. In addition, the guide was well versed in history and well educated. He spoke German perfectly and it was the best tour in Prague we have ever had. Absolutely recommendable and entertaining TOP !!!

The food was much better than expected. Musician on board was very friendly. You spend more time eating than I thought, and we didn't look at the sights much. There was also no information about the sights as you walked by and I thought there would be an audio guide or something

Incredible - our previous activity was cancelled 12 hours before we were due to go and booked this as an alternative and I’m glad I did. Food was excellent. Staff were very attentive and the deck chairs upstairs were a nice surprise. Book. You won’t be disappointed.

We were late for our time slot as the plane was delayed two hours, however they were really helpful and simply put us on the next boat. It's a basic boat journey and the commentary was poor and almost indistinguishable, however it was relatively cheap and the sights themselves were enjoyable. Drinks on board (payable) were a bouns.

An hour well spent. I'd recommend the tour to everyone. It's a lovely experience and you can get some great photos. there is some information on board but it's hard to hear. you can sit upstairs or downstairs. downstairs has a bar and also sells hot drinks. the hot chocolate was gorgeous. A good activity to do alone or in a group no matter what age

Whether hot or cold or a mix of both you could visit the buffet as many times as you wanted. To finish off a great mix of puddings/cakes and cheese. Entertainment was included by an accordionist who sometimes burst into song as we were enjoying our delicious lunch. The only downside, which wasn’t their fault, was that we couldn’t travel the length of the River as was adv...

This was a great experience from start to finish. Booking the tickets was quick and easy, the details of where to exchange the vouchers on the pier in Prague are simple and easy to follow. The actual cruise itself was fantastic, welcome drink (aperitif) as soon as you step on board, soft drink for the kids. Taken to your table and from there sit back relax. An effortless cruise down the river, got a couple of big thumbs up from 2 teenage boys 17 / 15. You order any you want drinks from your t...

Was really simple and lovely. Boat was clean and tidy and spacious with a top floor or you can stay on the ground floor in the warmth. Top floor is better for nicer photo opportunities and feeling the wind about you. Overhead audio spoken in many languages to tell you about sights we pass.
