Review of Prague’s 3-hour glass-boat dinner cruise, with illuminated sights, buffet dining, live music, photo tips, and honest value advice.

“Highly recommend booking the Deluxe experience! Great value for the cost as my husband and I were celebrating our honeymoon. We had a private table to ourselves at the front of the boat and were released first to eat. We arrived 30 minutes early and it was a very relaxing way to start the trip. The food is decent but we had better goulash elsewhere.”

7.Prague Guided Walking Tour and Cruise with Authentic Czech Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3,627 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $102Top rated

Review of Prague’s six-hour walking tour, tram ride, Czech lunch, Vltava cruise, and Charles Bridge Museum visit, with practical tips.

“Hannah was just a lovely guide, full of knowledge and very patient with everyone in the group. If you are looking to get a good overview of Prague, book this tour. Hannah took us to places and gave information that would have been much harder to obtain on our own and would have taken much more time to do it. I also recommend getting the full tour with the boat trip and the Czech lunch. The food was really great and the boat was a nice ending to the tour. I will say that you need to be able to walk all over for several hours at a time. Lots…”

Enjoy a Prague buffet lunch cruise with live accordion music, open-top views, and sights including Charles Bridge and Prague Castle.

“The boat was great - with helpful staff and a nice atmosphere. Everywhere was sparkly clean and welcoming . Drinks were served and then the buffet opened. Didn’t have particularly high hopes for the buffet food but was pleasantly surprised - just cooked ham being carved by chef and fresh bread/salads served . The beef goulash was delicious as was everything we tried. Hot and cold dishes and enough easily for everyone. You did queue but it didn’t take long and you could stay seated till more people served. My only tiny gripe would be one of the serving staff questioned whether we would be tipping which immediately annoys and…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 1,682 reviews · from $51

Prague Jazz Boat review: enjoy live music, river views, optional three-course dinner, practical tips, value advice, and honest drawbacks.

“Such a great experience and easy to find the meeting point. We were greeted at the door and shown to our seats - we chose the indoor seats with no meal but had the freedom to go between indoors/outdoors for the views. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, drinks were great and the food smelled amazing (although we didn’t have any). The cruise didn’t feel too long at all like a lot of the comments mentioned - but I think the key is to enjoy jazz before booking. The seating is close but not an issue, and the tables are decorated lovely. Upper deck/outside seating you get a little…”
