Lovely little trip

sam_h, May 2026
1 hour trip on the river. Clean boat and good efficient service, english commentary but more opt ions if you use headphones

Great Experience.

Gerard_D, May 2026
Excellent way to see the city. Very relaxing and enjoyable. Very helpful commentary. Recommended tour!

Great experience!

Jody_H, May 2026
This was a great way to get out on the river and gain some knowledge on the history of Prague while sitting comfortably in the sunshine and sipping on a beer.

I enjoyed the river...

Lindsay_R, May 2026
I enjoyed the river cruise, however would not personally do again and would only recommend if 1) this is your first time to Prague and 2) you have an hour to spare. I think the cost is fair, however, there is not that much that you can actually see from the river. In addition, I wish it had been clear to bring your own headphones as they did play the English track out loud, but unfortunately there were two very rowdy groups that were treating this as a booze cruise, rather than a way to get to know Prague. An okay experience, but I would skip in favor of a walking tour with a local guide!

Cruise is barely 40...

Caroline_R, May 2026
Cruise is barely 40 minutes, noisy on the boat and you cannot hear the audio guide. Personal on board chasing you to buy drinks. Overall disappointing experience, would not recommend it

Take cash

Carol_H, Apr 2026
If you purchase beverages or snacks, they do not accept credit card payments. Thankfully we had euros and that was accepted. If you want to hear the tour guide explanation, then sit near the speaker. Guests around us were talking and that made it hard to hear. Otherwise, very nice experience.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Dear Carol, thank you for your review. We are happy you enjoyed it and had a good time. I would like to just mention that we accept credit cards, so maybe there was a misunderstanding. Best wishes, Team Premiant City Tour

Smooth sailing…

Paul_F, Apr 2026
Best to get on the right side of the boat. Preferably not near the the kiosk bit cos the waiting on staff and the coffee machine are loud and difficult to hear the audio

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Dear Paul, thank you for your review. We are happy you enjoyed it and had a good time. Best wishes, Team Premiant City Tour

Terrible

Moises_S, Apr 2026
My family and I didn’t manage to take this cruise, like some others as they let many groups in before many of us who queued in advance. This is very unorganized, so be careful with this one. Better to buy them on the spot as the staff doesn’t care much if you have purchased a ticket or not.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Dear Client, please conctact us to our email info@premiant.cz. We would like to investigate this situation because this has never happened to us before. And of course, if you have a ticket and arrive on time, you will automatically be allowed on the boat. Best wishes, Team Premiant City Tour

3 hour E-bike tour through Prague

Barbara_U, Apr 2026
Very easy to locate staring point. Staff very friendly. peter was our guide. He did a wonderful job.

No need to book

Barbara_B, Apr 2026
You do not really need to book a ticket in advance for this boat: we had to stay in a long queue before going onboard after people who still needed to buy their tickets. The upper deck got full very quickly and we had to stay inside. It was however comfortable. I suggest to start queuing very early. I noticed also that other boats were not as packed. The tour on the river was ok.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Dear Client, thank you for your review. We hope you enjoyed the cruise and had a good time despite your comments. Best wishes, Team Premiant City Tour

The price was ok,...

Trent_S, Apr 2026
The price was ok, definitely wouldn’t have spent any more than that just because of the weather being so cold and everyone wanting to stay inside. In the short hour we managed to spend more on drinks and a toasted cheese sandwich. Waiter service was better on one side of the boat than the other. I couldn’t hear the announcer because everyone was talking so loudly and listening to the narration via their phones with them on speaker phone at their tables.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Dear Trent, thank you for your review. We hope you enjoyed it and had a good time despite your comments. Best wishes, Team Premiant City Tour

Value for money

Ethan_P, Jan 2026
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.

Dear Ethan, thank you for your review. We are happy you enjoyed it and had a good time. Best wishes, Team Premiant City Tour

Quick 50-minute Trip

Donald_T, Dec 2025
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

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Dear Donald, thank you for your review. We are happy you enjoyed it and had a good time. Best wishes, Team Premiant City Tour

old boat

Maria_G, Dec 2025
less than 1 hour plus the boat super old and dosent have really good view from anywhere. other tours include at least 1 drink, better boat for less ... plus headphones guides! and this one doesn't include either :(

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Dear Maria, thank you for your review. Excuse me, but it seems that you don't even know what you bought. Before making your reservation, you could read all the information about what you were purchasing, such as: cruise lasts 55 minutes, audio guide including after scan the qr code, recommended to take headphones with you. And since the boat is ours, we guarantee that no one else has this cruise, including drinks, for this price. Best wishes, Team Premiant City Tour

A normal cruise

Hoora_M, Dec 2025
It was a normal cruise on the river, nothing special. I didn’t have the AirPods , so I couldn’t listen to the explanation.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Dear Client, thank you for your review. Hope you still enjoyed your time in the Czech Republic. Best wishes, Team Premiant City Tour

Commentary needs to be louder!

Liz_P, Dec 2025
Overall it was an enjoyable experience but it was hard to hear the commentary as people were talking loudly and not paying attention to it. We wanted to hear it and learn about what we were seeing

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Dear Liz, thank you for your review. We are happy you enjoyed it and had a good time despite your comments. Best wishes, Team Premiant City Tour
