Historical river trip
Lovely trip on the river. Learnt some interesting facts about the history of Prague too. The fact it was a solarpowered boat was pretty 😎

Great little Cruise
Great experience with clear information given by the Skipper. Great little cruise..!! Weather was great as well.

A nice ride but we couldn’t hear
Small boat with large openings to see out. The guide spoke English with a heavy accent. He was at the front of the boat, we were in the back. It was difficult hearing him with the engine behind us. He needed a microphone and a speaker vs relying on his voice only.

Viator did a great job...
Viator did a great job with set up, but a little disappointed with boat ride. Picture and description sounds like more time in canals. we were only in the canals for 5 minutes. The rest of the tour was a ride on the river. The guide was good, no issues. Just disappointed not a longer canal ride. will use viator again. I have had lots of good adventures with Viator.

Best customer service - if you are going to book one book this one!
Boat staff was super friendly and the ride was pleasant. But I wish we saw a little more or learned a bit more about the history. It was a nice to do but not necessary. Our original time was pouring rain and the staff honored our ticket the next day
Operator response
