Pleasant sightseeing experience!!

The weather was perfect, with clear skies throughout the day. The boat was electric, which made the experience even better as there was virtually no background noise. The English commentary was clear, audible, and easy to follow. Overall, it was a very enjoyable and worthwhile experience.

Wonderful Experience

We thoroughly enjoyed our nighttime cruise on the river through Prague. The experience lasted exactly 50 minutes and we found the cost reasonable for that length. We sat on the open, upper deck with almost everyone else on the cruise. Some guests paid extra for an included glass of sparkling wine, but there was a la carte ordering available for everyone else. The staff were efficient and friendly. This cruise would be best either for people wanting spectacular photos of Prague's major sights, a quick overview of what the city offers, or couples looking for a romantic outing. Make sure to check Sunset time so you can schedule your cruise at a time you can see the city lit up.

Price/performance OK

We went on a very nice, modern electric boat, and there was enough room for everyone. The drinks are served in plastic cups, card payment is preferred. The trip itself is not very long, but acceptable for this price.

Disappointing experience and waste of money.

Disappointing experience and waste of money The incorrect message in the confirmation email about where we were going resulted in we being in line for a long time just to find out we were going somewhere else. We therefore boarded as the last, and the only seats were in an empty, cold enclosure with toned windows, which in itself was a downturn, since the temperature outside was nice, and we had booked the trip at dawn so that we could see the city's light. Staff showed no interest in helping. Fortunately, a couple of good guests gave us the opportunity to take a few tables and sit together so we could sit outside with everyone else. The trip, which consisted of a short walk down the river, back again by the same route, a bit up the river and back again by the same route, took max 45 minutes, from we laid off the cage until we laid to again. Super uniform. Along the way, we could barely hear what the spoken voice said in the speakers, and often it was difficult to understand which buildings were referred to. And although I like classical music a lot, it was super unnecessary noise to have Smetanas Moldau and possibly other classical pieces in the speakers during the whole trip. Why? If we had come on board as the first and had got the best seats, then it was a loose trip and not worth the money.

The best option for a river cruise

There are two boarding locations; boarding for online tickets is from the Čech Bridge (Čechův most), the green one in the north. The boat has a smooth movement. For those who want to have a drink on board, the servers serve at the table. The language of the loudspeaker announcements is Czech, German, English.

A great way to capture a different view of this beautiful city.

We decided to do a sightseeing boat tour when we seen them operating the river whilst we were on the Charles Bridge. We went with this company and they were very friendly and professional from start to finish. With great views to be had throughout the tour, it was a must do. With drinks and snacks available on board at very reasonable prices, it was a great way to pass an hour and give a different perspective to the city.
