Great, memorable, enjoyable and once in a lifetime experience. Location (meeting point) was easy to find and staff were very friendly and accommodating. Tour guide commentary was in English which was a bonus, it was clear, informative and easy to follow. 😃

A good way to see the sites!

Lisa_N, Nov 2026
A good way to see the sites… takes about an hour. It’s very worth it.! Not very expensive.. the commentary didn’t really work very well though online..

Great views. Interesting history.

Terri_S, Nov 2026

Janet_M, Oct 2026
Pretty views - nice way to see sights from the River - nothing you can’t see from land. Dinner when the city is lit up might be more of a wow factor

Pleasant River Cruise - Good Introduction to Prague

bernardlerer, Oct 2026
Nice cruise. Comfortable, especially upstairs. The commentary was hard to hear through the headphones, which was a pity because it was good. Also, the fact that the commentary came through the speakers as well was confusing

Cynthia_K, Sep 2026
Left on time! Very professional staff. We sat on the upper deck and it was hard to hear the guide from down stairs. Great ice cream sundaes to purchase!!

Pleasant

Jon_S, Sep 2026
Pleasant, if expensive way to while away an hour and rest your legs in Prague. Couldn't hear the commentary over people talking.

Quick river tour

Stephen_L, Sep 2026
Busy tour, if weather is good and you are happy to just look out across the river its fine. We enjoyed a drink while basking in the sun, and getting a different view of the city.

Great time!

Daniel_H, Sep 2026
Cheap, beautiful experience! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a cheap way to see the views from the river!

Beautiful view, average experience

Leanne_S, Aug 2026
The boat was very nice and the views were incredible, but the overall experience was only average. The speakers are at the front and back of the boat, but we were sitting in the middle at the top. Between the road traffic and the people on the boat talking, we were only able to hear about half the tour guide’s information. We were disappointed, as we are very interested in the history of the buildings. More speakers are needed through the middle of the boat.

Good choice to start the stay

CarlosAdyan_B, Aug 2026
Great choice to get to know the city. A bit hot and smells weird inside of the ferry but other than that very nice.

Boat trip average

Kerry_M, Aug 2026
Wasn't a very long cruise bit dissapointing. A lot of money for what we saw. Was also hard to find the dock

First Event - Take a Tour on the River

Elizabeth_C, Aug 2026
It was a nice overview of the city - perfect event to start a visit to Prague. It was only 50 minutes (not an hour). Information was great and the sausage I had on board was really delicious.

Elise was so incredible!...

Connor_A, Aug 2026
Elise was so incredible! Great fun and loaded with incredibly fascinating history facts of Prague!!!

Prague River Tour

Barbara_D, Aug 2026
Just an average river tour. Nothing exceptional compared to other river cruises we’ve taken in Europe.

Lovely early evening trip

Kerry_I, Aug 2026
All the boat trips pretty much do a 50 minute sail, this one was great as they did food and drinks table service and there was plenty of separate tables for seating upstairs/outside

Nice trip!

ManfreyaSarah_G, Aug 2026
It's a short yet enjoyable trip offering tasty food, cleanliness, and beautiful scenery in Prague. Also, it is quite affordable.

A short comfortable and airconditioned boat trip with little information about Prague

Taryn_B, Aug 2026
The boat is clean and well kept but the trip is very short traveling to and from on the same section of the river. The speakers in the bar didn't work so we connected to the audio but the WiFi was intermittent.

River Trip

Jordana_V, Jul 2026
This was a wonderful way to see the city and enjoy the river! It was very interesting to explore the history of Prague and how the bridges were decorative and why. This was a total highlight of our stay.

Dear Jordan, thank you for your lovely review! We’re so glad you had a great time with us. Best wishes, Team Premiant City Tour
