What an amazing tour! The views are spectacular. One of us had never Kayaked before. The guide was perfect! Taught us the basics for a bit then took us to so many beautiful places. You don't need to be an athlete to enjoy yourself! I would suggest this option for seeing the city to everyone!! The pictures are amazing.

This is a nice mellow paddle on flat water. It gave us a nice break from the crowds on a sunny day! If you are looking for a workout, this is not a very active paddle.
What a unique and amazing way to view Prague! Our guide was fantastic and gave a great tour filled with local facts and flavor! Highly recommend the early morning hours as it was tour boat free!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for the review! The early morning slot really is the calmest time on the Vltava - we're glad you enjoyed the local stories along the way. Thanks for recommending us!
This was the most unique way to see Prague. Meeting on the launch ramp was simple. The kayaks are the perfect type to feel safe and are efficient to paddle. We were in safe hands when crossing the river.
We learned loads about Prague. It was a hot day and the breeze on the water was so refreshing. We would recommend this tour company wholeheartedly .
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you very much for the wholehearted recommendation! Safety and stable, easy-to-paddle kayaks are a priority for us, so it's great to read this. The breeze on the water on a hot day is unbeatable - see you next time!
Our guide shared history and beautiful views. I highly recommend seeing the city from a different angle like we did!

Thank you for the recommendation! Seeing Prague from the water really is a different angle, and we're glad you enjoyed the history along the way.
This was my second visit to Prague so I decided to take in the city from a different vantage point this time — and it did not disappoint!
Vaclav, my kayaking tour guide, was simply outstanding. He was clear and prompt in our communications in the days leading up to the tour, punctual and ready with our kayaks and gear at the meeting spot, and knowledgable and friendly on the tour itself. Not only did Vaclav provide information about the sights but he prioritized safety at all times, ensuring I didn’t stray into the center of the river too much. We also chatted a bit about the history and economy of Czechia as well as his visit to my part of the world, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The trip itself was about 5 km in total, first downstream to the locks near Štavnice island, then back upstream to Charles bridge. We went under the 666-year old Charles bridge as well as remnants of an even older bridge. Then we crossed to the other bank and went up a canal known as Little Venice. This part of the trip was a bit more challenging, which I relished. At the end of the canal we saw the last (non-functional) water mill in Prague, before returning back to our starting spot. He was kind enough to take several photos of me on the water and sent them to me promptly after the tour finished. Being the off-season and 40 F / 5 C weather, I was the only customer, which was nice. I’m positive, though, that the experience would’ve been just as enjoyable with a few more people. Vaclav mentioned that they typically don’t take more than 4-6 people per guide, depending on the customers’ prior experience with kayaking. I highly recommend this tour, whether you’re a first-time or repeat visitor to Prague!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for such a detailed and generous review! We're glad Vaclav's communication, safety-first approach and small group size made the trip enjoyable, even in off-season temperatures. The Little Venice canal and the old water mill are our favourites too. Thanks for recommending us!
We had a wonderful experience on the kayak trip through Prague. The guide was very knowledgeable about kayaking and the city history. Some of the best photos from our Prague trip were taken by our guide as we kayaked under the Charles Bridge. We stayed dry and the kayaks felt safe. This is a great way to see the city from a different perspective.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for the kind words! Staying dry, feeling safe and getting great shots under Charles Bridge - that's exactly what we aim for. We're glad you enjoyed this perspective of the city!

Frantisek is a great guide and kayaker, highly recommended! Perfect way to explore Prague from a different perspective, with many stories from your guide.

Thank you Calin. Really appreciate it.
A great way to see the city, very relaxed and we found a lunch spot we wouldn’t have otherwise seen. Great for mixed ability - my experienced partner loved it, and Frank was a great teacher as it was first time!

We hebben een geweldige tour gehad met Vaclav. In een groep van 8 heeft hij ons alle mooie plekken vanaf het water laten zien.
Mega tolles Erlebnis! Sehr erfahrene Reiseführer, einfach erklärt, auch für Anfänger geeignet! Alle sehr zufrieden, würden wir nur weiterempfehlen ❤️
