Lovely Private Boat Tour
Had a great time and saw lots of unique things from the view of being on the river. Patrik was knowledgeable and friendly-highly recommend this experience. Beautiful boat too!
S
Waterfront view of the city
Our tour guide/captain is a great guy with tons of knowledge and information about the wonderful city of Prague. Born and raised in Prague he was able to show us s the historic waterfront and point out countless landmarks. He picked us up on time for our private tour with wine and beer to enjoy the great comfortable boat.

Very Relaxing and Informative
What a nice way to see the city from a different angle. Highly recommend this tour. We learned so much on this tour that others didn’t mention like the Mill. Do yourself a favor and book this one!
J
The views were beautiful,...
The views were beautiful, and the provided drinks were fantastic. Patrik was a standout that sold the whole experience. He had my fiancée and I completely at ease within minutes, was extremely knowledgeable on the city’s history, and also gave us plenty of breathing room when we were talking amongst ourselves. I can’t recommend this enough for anyone who wants a nice, relaxing evening on the river, and you won’t find a better guide than Patrik.

Private boat ride
Beautiful evening on the Vltava river. Definitely recommend going after sunset for amazing views of the Charles bridge and Prague castle at night.

Enjoyed our ride
Patrick was a terrific captain and the boat is very impressive. Was a highlight of our stay. Highly recommend.

Wow! What an excellent experience!
What an amazing experience! To start the day with a beautiful tour of the city on a stunning, luxurious boat was superb! Patrick was the coolest guide, with absolutely amazing knowledge of Prague! Our only regret is that we booked the 1 hour tour instead of the 2 hour, but will definitely book this tour again for longer next time!

Too expensive
Our guide was very nice. I didn't think it was worth what we paid for it. You can see the same things for a lot less money
