“A great guide in Maria, who had so much information to share, started with a bus tour with constant narrative on the history of Prague, its buildings and architecture. The tour of the castle was ok and we got to witness the changing of the guard. The walking tour was long but very interesting and the lunch provided was amazing, fantastic chicken. The ending with a leisurely, slow one-hour boat trip (no commentary) was a great way to relax and unwind with a glass of wine after a long and tiring day. Excellent day out and would highly recommend this tour and was great value for money.”

“This is a VERY short cruise (about 45 minutes). Since we had seen the highlights on the private city tour we took, this didn't add much to our visit. It's probably prettier at night but I'd also say it's just too short to have any impact.”
