It was nice newer boat. Staff very nice and friendly and prompted table drink orders. Very short cruise. The boat can only go so far up and down the river in a very short distance due water locks. It was nice. You are the river for about 45 minutes. Total 50 minutes
I never got to do it when I was in Prague for the first time, so I'm really happy I've finally seen Prague from a boat perspective. I couldn't hear the audio, which is a bit sad, but still, the experience was fun and relaxing. Thanks!
Took the 50 minute tour. A very modern electric boat with floor to ceiling viewing windows for great views of Prague. There was also an upper viewing deck too. A table service for drinks was also available during the short trip. Commentary in several languages was provided with an interactive map available via QR code to add more info if you wanted it.
The boat was so clean! I loved having the commentary over the speakers while we were floating down the river. The boat showed a beautiful perspective to the buildings along the water. It was nice having the server take our order and bring our drinks to us. Very nice staff all around!
We booked for 9.30pm, they requested us to arrive and stand in the line strattone at least from 9.10pm. When we were already waiting in line they told us that the engine of our boat broke (the boat arrived perfectly and they immediately put the boat to charge..). In the end we were requirente to wait for longer than 1.30 hour. No discount, no space to Seat, very poor treatment. Not advised.
We were unable to find an elevator to the docks from street level. Just stairs and a long incline hill down which was much further away so just be aware of that. It was listed as an one hour tour but was more of a 45 min tour. I guess the 15 mins was to embark and disembark. Smooth ride. Great pictures with the sunset behind the castle on the hill. Couldn't hear the recorded guide. Unfortunately we have very loud people talking behind us...didn't hear anyone else who were that loud.
It was a very sunny, hot day so this was a lovely experience on the top deck taking in the view. Couldn’t really hear the audio guide so we just enjoyed the ride. ‘Table service’ drinks and snacks were a nice option. We got the 7pm - as we came off, the 8pm ride was much busier.
Great trip with river boat at Prague. Excellent balance between price and quality and service on the boat.
A very nice excursion on the Vltava, great views of the city. Enjoyed very much, while a relatively short excursion, it makes it easy to fit into your schedule
The other reviews I read were pretty accurate—it’s basically just a boat ride covering sights you could just see from land. Commentary was recorded and very limited. It was a relaxing trip though and great to see lights at night. Knowing what to expect, we weren’t disappointed.
