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.

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

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

evening river cruise in Prague

Kimberly_B, Dec 2025
The river cruise was very beautiful. We arrived on time and were in back of the line, and so the only seating was up on the roof. We enjoyed the view from the top of the boat but if you tend to be cold you may want to arrive earlier. Waiter took our order for drinks. The announcer was very informative

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Dear Client, thank you for your kind feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the cruise and had a pleasant experience. Best wishes, Team Premiant City Tour

Fun tour if short. Arrive early!

TARA_F, Nov 2025
Fun tour but too short and we should have been advised to get there a half hour before the appointed departure time. All indoor seats were taken when we arrived on time.

Basic

Sian_W, Nov 2025
This was a very basic cruise. The boat smelled very strongly of fried food and the audio commentary was limited. That said, we braved the top deck in freezing weather and enjoyed the views. Drinks were reasonably priced.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Dear Sian, thank you for your review. Hope the views made up for everything. Best wishes, Team Premiant City Tour

We did not make it to the planned cruise as we got stuck on the train travelling from a different city and the operator luckily allowed us to be re-booked for the cruise the day after. Well recommended!

River cruise

Elizabeth_E, Nov 2025
The cruise down the Vltava River was nice. The main speakers were in English so we didn’t need our headsets. It cruised slowly down the river with nice views. Food and beverage available for purchase. We enjoyed the chance to sit and relax after walking around so much. The only thing I was wondering was if it would be more scenic in evening if the sites are lit up. Good value for a relaxing time.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

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

Great way to see the city, and relaxing at the same time. There is a bar in board that serves a good mix of drinks, both alcoholic and none alcoholic.
