“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…”

“My fiancée and myself took this six hour tour on our 3rd day in Prague. We were the only ones who signed up for this tour on a Tuesday so it was more like a private tour. We enjoyed the sights, history and food that came with the tour. We had some miscommunication with our tour guide throughout our time with her. She was very good at her job but her accent sometimes made it hard to understand and at times she would mishear us. But it wasn't unbearable; we enjoyed our time with her and Prague.”
