Our host Jachym was superb from start to finish. Doing all three tours (Old Town, boat cruise, Castle) made for a long day, but we had plenty of time to stop off for a beer or two and to have some lunch along the way. Overall can’t fault it. Jachym’s knowledge of Prague was seemingly endless, we’ll do more tours with this team next time we come visit. Thoroughly recommend, a "great deal" value product.

It was a successful city tour. The guide was very nice and told a lot about the sights. He adjusted well to the participants

Excellent boat with very friendly staff who can’t help you enough, excellent food and band also

Everything went smoothly. Very enjoyable boat trip, highly recommended! We would do it again!

Lovely cruise and food was nice, we had a window seat worth paying the extra for it.
