Last day of holiday boat trip. - We had a lovely peaceful trip on this lovely electric powered boat. The weather was glorious and the trip allowed us to see the beautiful city of Prague from a different perspective.
I would highly recommend this.

Nice views with a drink - We enjoyed an hour boat ride on one of their larger boats. It was very relaxing to have drinks and see the sites from the river (especially after a long day of walking around). They had a good selection of drinks. We received a discount by purchasing our tickets online.

View the city from the water - In the evening we took a beautiful boat trip on the Vltava. Beautiful view of the beautifully illuminated historic buildings. Comfortable and quiet electric boat. There is also a bar on board where you can buy a drink. Toilets also available. Recommended, always nice to view a city from the water.

Nice outing - We sailed on a tour boat on the Vltava for more than 50 minutes. Modern, well maintained ship. Silent sailing because the ship is electrically powered. Our trip in the evenings was fun.. the historic buildings along the riverbanks are often illuminated. What a success the construction of these buildings, many in Baroque style, achieved! Explanation of historical places, a tape with Czech, German and English language, brief but sufficient. Nice outing!

We thought better - The boat ride was beautiful but we thought better because: 1) there was no commentary illustrating the areas of the city, 2) the plexiglass protecting the boat did not allow us to take decent photos and videos (the weather was nice but a ruined plexiglass did not lets have no memories)

Lovely but didn’t learn anything - A lovely experience however it did feel very rushed, the audio alongside the tour was really lacking and you’d expect the boat to go a little further down the river! Definitely worth doing but maybe look at other operators as well if you want a more in depth tour.

An excursion that I do not recommend - A little disappointing, cost 18 euros per person, duration 50 minutes, unfortunately immediately after the Charles Bridge a U-turn is made to return, extending to the Ministry of Industry but in that area there is nothing of tourist interest or even panoramic . Only the first 15 minutes are affected. I recommend reviewing the itinerary. Upon boarding there are brochures in various languages with itinerary description.

to avoid, tourist trap, little interest - Disappointing and poor value for money!
The tour should call it "drinking on a boat" for an hour.
We booked a one-hour tour at the end of the day, at €60 for two adults and two children. The walk actually lasts an hour (10 min to leave, 10 min to return + 40 min at 2 km/h) however there is not much to see apart from ordering a low-end prosecco.
The walk obviously ends with the eternal “service is not included” ...

Don’t recommended - As a local person living in Prague for 10 years, I tried this one hour trip with Prague Boats and I must say I was disappointed. Comments from the speakers didn’t match the spota where we were. So a lot od tourist were confused and it was visible. The speaker for example started to talk about Štvanice island but we already passed the island like two minutes ago and had different direction. Also its really overpriced.
