Excellent little cruise allows great views of Prague from the river. Our guide was knowledgeable and funny and shared great stories about the city. Highly recommend if you want to just take an hour break from all the walking!

We had a lovely time on the river. The guide had a lot of information and anecdotes to impart and the views were lovely. The Devil’s channel is very small so a lot of the time is spent on the main river around Charles Bridge, so you have a lot of time to find out a lot about it and admire the views of both banks. Altogether, a very pleasant experience.

Short trip but quite interesting. Good photo opportunity for Charles Bridge. The commentary was good but could be louder.

We chose to go early evening but nothing really to see (but would be the same
In the day). The Captain tried his best but even said himself there was not
Much to see. Would give this one a miss.

The person doing the trip waa clearly knowledgable and engaging. However this is trip best done in warmer times. Queuing on the very cold embankment was not enjoyable and having the window open during the trip was also not enjoyable due to cold. However the trip itsself is good and the guide was good. Nice to see Prague lit up at night and from a different angle. The communication with Viator was also good.
Olivia_P, Dec 2025
Extremely warm and not a good view as windows were very steamed up. Lovely guide but wouldn’t do again!

This was a nice way to see Prague from a different viewpoint. The commentary was interesting and informative.

First time in Prague but didn’t want to do the drinking or dinner cruise. Found this short one-hour cruise on Viator. We enjoyed the overall experience. The dock was easy to find. The boat was small but it was enclosed and glass so you could see out and enjoy the night skyline. The captain maneuver the boat with expertise through the bridges and the Devil’s Channel which was extremely narrow. Captain gave short histories of the river, the bridges, and the buildings along the river. The only downside was this was at night and there wasn’t a flood light on the boat to point at certain spots so you could see what the captain was talking about. But, the night lights were really the best part of this boat ride. If you don’t want to waste time waiting for drinks or food on an hour boat ride, do this ride.

This was the perfect amount of time. We did the 6:15pm and the pictures on the water w the lights and the moonlight was amazing. Our guide was fun and informative!

Lovely night tour in a small boat that allowed access to side canals. Very fun, scenic and extremely friendly and informative captain/guide.
Tasha_C, Oct 2025
The boat trip itself was fine although there wasn’t a huge amount of information given. What I found annoying was the tour company allowed a group to drink alcohol on board who then became very loud and continued talking while the guide was talking. On a small boat this was very off putting.
RACHEL_L, Oct 2025
The classical music and audio tour were only audible on roof and it was lovely. Inside the boat, they had it turned down so quietly that I think it may not have been on. Great quick ride up and down river only if you ride on the roof.

Small, uncovered boat. Even full capacity, it's easy to see the highlights and hear the captain. I enjoyed it.
Mel_P, Oct 2025
Great little river boat trip. Tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The smaller boat is nicer. Good experience
Kayt_M, Oct 2025
This tour was perfect, the tour boat captain provided funny yet well informed history bitd along the tour. The devil's channel boat is smaller than most on the river allowing to get up to see some "hidden" water ways along the river. It also places you along the river for watching the sunset if you book in the late afternoon. It was a wonderful experience.

We were put onto a big electric powered boat that was enclosed and was too large to enter the branch off canal. Not the trip we had booked!

Beautiful cruise great guide. It’s nice to see the river at night and cool to see the devils channel
Steven_C, Sep 2025
Fast 1 hour but hits all the little spots, slips into small creeks feeding the river the larger tours cannot.
Brandon_K, Sep 2025
The smaller boat is definitely better to see more of the sights. Your location showed two different piers to go to but they are pretty near each other.
Malcolm_W, Sep 2025
Well worth the money compared to the larger boats
This trip takes you into Devils Channel
The skipper/Guide was very informative
RaviShankar_L, Sep 2025
Better to avoid this tour if you’re a brown person. The captain was busy entertaining white people and we felt completely ignored. Even our questions during the trip were completely ignored and not even acknowledged. Not a good feeling because it made us feel uncomfortable, unwanted. As if we didn’t pay for the trip, and doing the boat ride for free.
Maria_M, Sep 2025
Fantastic trip - small sized group - the guide was very funny and knowledgeable- would definitely recommend
Debbie_M, Aug 2025
Comfortable little boat that can go through a canal that the big boats can't, informative and very pretty at night after dusk.
S_E, Aug 2025
Tiny boat but it lets you go through the channels. Very nice everything! We loved it!! Nice commentary but sit up front so you can hear.
Marilyn_L, Aug 2025
This was a lovely boat ride. Our captain was funny and understandable. My only complaint was he gave the tour in two languages, and I can’t help but wonder if we missed out on more information.
Otherwise — it was a great experience.
Lucia_H, Aug 2025
Great value to get an overview of the structures along the river and the surrounding areas. The tour guide gave us history and interesting facts on a lot of the historical buildings and bridges on the waterfront. This helped us to decide what to take a closer look at in the following days in Prague and was very reasonably priced. Recommend to anyone who doesn't know what to do first or are on a budget to get an idea of where to go next.
Boyd_M, Aug 2025
Absolute must. You will see a number of sites that you would never get to if you were doing it on foot. Plus it gives you an idea of where you should go back if you want to spend additional time
FabricioMercadoGonza, Aug 2025
Bang for the buck. Trip is about 45-50 minutes and you get to see a lot of things. Boat has a roof which is something really nice if you visit during summer.
