In the extreme heat of late June 2026, this was the perfect respite. Air conditioned, cold drinks, great staff, and the sights of Prague! What else could one ask for? Very relaxing and a great start to our European vacation

The boat tour in Prague was simply wonderful! 😊 The roughly 50 minutes on the water flew by and offered a truly unique perspective on this beautiful city. The ride was very relaxing, the boat was comfortable, and the staff were friendly and attentive. It was especially impressive to see the historic buildings and famous landmarks from the water—a real highlight! The atmosphere was calm yet fascinating, perfect for unwinding and enjoying the moment. I highly recommend this boat tour to anyone who wants to experience Prague from a different, truly special perspective. Absolutely worth it!

A beautiful evening cruise with amazing views of Prague’s illuminated landmarks. The atmosphere on the Vltava River was relaxing, and seeing the city lights reflected on the water made the experience feel very special. Perfect for a romantic evening or a peaceful way to enjoy Prague at night.

A beautiful ship, great service, and an accordion player who created a wonderful atmosphere. Route information available via app; Wi-Fi on board. The view from the ship is much nicer than from the bus tour.

WARNING: Tourist rip-off! I wanted to give this tour a maximum of 3 stars, but couldn't because their system wouldn't allow it. Hence my "fake" 4 stars, which, due to the rules, are now only two stars. Save your money! It's not worth it. The tour was artificially dragged out. The staff was great. The boat was very clean. But you don’t need this tour. Do something else. We spent at least 40 minutes in the lock.

Glide along the Vltava River on a 1-hour cruise, soaking in Prague’s charm from the water with zero crowds and a relaxing vibe.

Tune in to multilingual online commentary as you sail, snap, and instantly post Insta-worthy shots with free Wi-Fi.

Cruise past Prague Castle’s towering spires, Rudolfinum’s arched windows, the golden National Theatre, and the Prague Metronome.

Choose from a day or evening cruise, and upgrade your sightseeing with a treat - a glass of prosecco or juice with snacks.

It was really awesome experience, but there was no cover from the sun on the cruise top level. The service was great and forthcoming.
