Itinerary
We will sail underneath the oldest bridge in Prague. The bridge was built by Charles IV in 1357. For 5 centuries it was the only bridge in Prague.
We will have a view of the Prague castle from the river. Prague castle is the largest castle complex in the world and the current seat of the Czech president.
We will see the Devil's channel from the outside, we will not go inside as it is too shallow. The channel was artificially made in the 12th century for watermills.
Former mill that was turned into a modern art gallery. It used to grind flour for the Lesser Town.
Concert hall from 1881 that is the seat of Czech Filharmonic orchestra. Between the wars it served as the Parliament building.
The seat of the Czech government. Originally it was a fancy high school for boys from noble families, hence why we call it academy.
A bridge from 1916 that replaced an older pedestrian bridge. The old bridge called Rudolfova lavka had to be torn down. The current bridge is named after famous Czech painter Josef Manes.
A beautiful art-nouveau bridge from 1908. The bridge was inspired by the Alexander's bridge in Paris.
A bridge from 1951. It used to be called Sverma bridge during communism. Sverma was a prominent communist.
A site where used to be a massive statue of Josiph Stalin. Now there is a kynetic art which symbolizes the changes of the regime and flow of time.
We will sail below Letna Park. Letna is very popular among local young people to hang out.
A 13th century former convent. It was abolished by Joseph II and turned into apartments. Now it serves as a gallery.
A defensive tower of the Charles bridge. The tower served also as a prison in the middle ages.

Very relaxing and informative boat tour. Our boat driver was friendly and accommodating. Would recommend to everyone.
The guide speaks English very well and knows the history of the country very well. It was an exceptional moment for my husband and me. It offers a different perspective of the city; we went through the canals, which we had not yet visited. Highly recommended
We had a wonderful time on Patrik’s boat! He popped some prosecco and showed us highlights along the river. He shared some stories from his own life and gave us great recommendations. It’s a lovely way to start a trip to Prague!
Terrific tour to take. Patrick our guide was excellent, and the boat was pristine! Great way to tour prague!
Patrick was a great host! He had a beautiful boat and was a pleasure to be around! Highly recommend!
It was great, we really had a good time among friends. Patrick is super nice and pleasant. It was a real pleasure to spend this moment
Although it rained we were told he had a cover to keep us dry, he kept the cover on his side of the boat up and not ours so we had to sit next to him during our tour. We were also told we had to pay our driver money to take us back to the meeting point which is not described before we booked. Overall he was informative but could’ve done a lot better in getting the boat prepared knowing it would rain.
Hello Ronnice! I am sorry you feel this way. Obviously you did not have to sit next to me, I could have put up the roof over the front of the boat, but I prefer not to do it since it blocks the view for the clients more than the bimini. If you prefered sitting in the front of the boat, you could have said so. Regarding the transfer back, it is stated in the inclusions that the transfer is 1 way only. Best regards, Patrik
Our private evening boat tour on Vltava River was absolutely fantastic and one of the highlights of our time in Prague. We had a group of 7, and it was such a relaxing and enjoyable way to see the city away from the busy crowds. Seeing Prague from the water at 5 pm was beautiful, and we were able to take some amazing photos along the river. Patrick was great—friendly, knowledgeable, and shared interesting stories and anecdotes throughout the tour making the experience even more memorable. The private setting made the experience feel very personal and comfortable for our whole group. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Prague!
We had a very pleasant time on the boat trip. First, we were picked up by a very nice gentleman in a nice car directly from our hotel and comfortably transported to the boat. We booked the 6:30 PM tour, and the timing was perfect. Our captain was fun, knowledgeable, and shared many interesting facts about Prague and the Czech Republic. The weather was lovely despite the forecasted rain, and the captain even had blankets prepared for us, although it was not windy at all. We also had champagne, which made the whole experience feel even more special. I would highly recommend this tour because Prague is incredibly beautiful from the water, especially in the evening.
Patrick was a fantastic guide--he shared wonderful insights with us about the landmarks of Prague which we saw from the boat, told us stories about the history of the city, and even recommended the best restaurants we ate at during our trip. His boat was comfortable, his instructions on how to meet him were perfect--and ultimately, we wished we could have spent longer in his company!
