Great way to see the city - On boards table service for drinks. Very friendly and polite staff. Toilets on boards too. Freedom to go up and down decks as you wanted and good commentary. Prob only about 45mins but the boat went as far as it could before the dam. Overall just right.

End of year boat ride - The excursion in a different way to know Praha from the river, interesting information of the places to sail, rich snacks, good attention and very affordable prices, I highly recommend.

AMAZING - Absolutely—this was a genuinely positive and rewarding experience. I learned a great deal throughout the process, both practically and personally, and it gave me valuable insight and skills that I know I will carry forward. I truly enjoyed every part of it, and without hesitation, I would gladly do it again any day.

Quick 50-minute Trip - A short 50-minute cruise. Get there early as ours was VERY VERY crowded and we had to cram into a table with another family and had NO window access.... But that's ok as we went up on upper deck and saw all there was to see from upper (NON HEATED) observation deck

Value for money - Great way to explore the Vltava River. Although it felt a bit short, it was a comfortable and enjoyable ride - there were two levels of tables with table service food and drinks available.

A short boat trip to see some sights at a reasonable cost - A lovely boat trip. Our family of 9 enjoyed 3/4 an hour boat trip (advertised as an hour) to enjoy the beautiful views. The inside is comfortable & warm & the upper deck has beautiful views. We were greeted by a lovely friendly lady that took our order, however, the lady that brought our drinks over was quite rude & ignorant, which was a shame especially on such a special day as Christmas Eve. A short boat trip at a reasonable cost

A normal cruise - It was a normal cruise on the river, nothing special. I didn’t have the AirPods , so I couldn’t listen to the explanation.

Stay well clear - poorly organised and executed - Chaotic, poorly managed over subscribed and over sold tour. The biggest challenge is, If there is more than 3/4 of you, sitting together is nearly impossible unless you arrive at least 30mins early and queue in sub zero temperatures. They don’t reserve seating, so you cannot guarantee being together. There were children sat in different parts of the boat to the their parents, elderly sat alone etc. Their answer is there are plenty of seats, which their maybe, but a lot are outside and in December your sat outside in -3 degrees The trip itself is really short, in time and distance, and actually a lot less informative that doing it on foot. Staff are rude and pushy, desperately trying to sell overpriced drinks, which of course you could enjoy on your own, standing up away from friends/ family

Audio guide in French 0... - Audioguide in English 0 want nothing. Unfriendly staff. Expected in the cold that the boat will want to arrive. Boarded late but returned with 1/4d hour in advance so not even 40 minutes cruising instead of 1h indicated it is worth a large ZERO. I would not recommend this boat (the classic river), but another can be much better.
