Mary's Recommends! Why?

We have just tried this tour by ourselves. Here is a brief summary, why we offer it, and to whom.

The cruise was an extraordinary experience which has made our day really great! It is the best choice for those who would like to enjoy refreshing rest after the day-long sightseeing. It gives you the opportunity to see Prague from a totally different point of view, to feel like a sailor man and to delight your stomach :). The boat is not the newest, but it is very cozy, clean and have a terrace, inner deck and lower deck with very stylish wooden benches – we felt as if we were in a typical old Bohemian restaurant. The price-quality ratio is very good, you will be given everything you even could expect and even more– experienced crew, great views, rich buffet dinner, cheerful live music and nice rest in a river breeze. And all of this for three hours. I have to admit, I was a bit worried as it seems to be a quite long time, but finally it was just enough to see everything and have a delicious dinner as well… the time runs quickly on board :)

Pros:

• The boat harbored at Dvořák´s embankment, however the tour starts with a pick-up in the middle of the city (which is really good when you, as a tourist, don´t know the city too much). We have been taken with an air-conditioned bus (very comfortable when outside was about 30 degrees!) directly to the boat. Do not expect much of a sightseeing in this part, the transfer takes just a few minutesThe professional staff has showed us where we should go and we were given a pleasant surprise – a welcome drink.
• We set out for the cruise at 7pm. The upper board was unfortunately full so we sat in the inner restaurant. It was no bad, because we were close to the buffet :)) and we could hang around the upper board during the cruise anyway.
• After we had set out, the live music performance started. The very handful accordionist was playing every music style from the Czech foklore music via tramp music to the pop music, we listened to Spanish, German, Italian, Russian songs, even an Argentinian tango :) – it completed the pleasant atmosphere of the cruise.
• The buffet - dinner started to be served at 19:30 which was a great timing, because we just went into a canal lock to spend a half an hour inside. So we did not lost any great views on wonderful Prague while eating
• The dinner offered much more than I expected and everything was refilled continually. There was a huge selection of cheeses, hams, fresh vegetables and cold pasta salads. The warm buffet offered fried pork chops, fish, chicken, boiled vegetable, rice, kus-kus, potatoes, french fries, there were meals suitable for vegetarians as well. You could also try the typical Czech plate – beef goulash with „knedlik“, „utopenec“ – typical sausage in vinegar.
.
• After about 1,5 hour we reached the Vysehrad National Monument which towered proudly on the rock above the river. There the boat turned we could see what we had missed before.
• Our taste for something sweet was satisfied with the dessert (various sweet rolls, Czech strudel, chocolate baskets) and fruit buffet, which was served at 9pm
• And finally we reached the embankment again at 10pm, and were shown how to get back into the city, because there is no return transfer included in the price.

Cons:

• I would have really appreciated if there was at least one drink included in the price (except for the welcome drink which was liquor).But there is a bar on board of course, so it is not a problem to ask for alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks.
• Maybe it would be nice if there was a guide with us to tell us some interesting facts about the sights which we were passing. However, you can choose as well the Prague by night guided tour with dinner.
