Prague Devil's Channel Cruise on Vltava River with Commentary

Very enjoyable

What a great experience we always take a boat trip wherever we go and this was a little different as it was a smaller boat and we were able to access little side inlets as well as the main river. We went right up to a working water wheel , watched beavers on the riverbank as well as numerous famous sights . The boat had 12 people and this made for a very relaxed and enjoyable trip , with a very friendly captain/guide. Definitely worth doing and also very reasonably priced at 19 Euros each.

Good

Very good tour. One guest was misbehaving and the captain took care of it. Good tour. Prague is beautiful.

Save your money

I thought the tour guide could have talked more and given us a little more history. He barely spoke….very boring!

Wonderful guide was very knowledgeable. Definitely a must in Prague.

Beautiful cruise with informative narration of the city. We cruised to the love bridge and inside the city it was little bit like Venice. Whenever we go to a city we always go on the water it’s such a beautiful way to see it

Great Captain and relaxing tour

We visited on 09.06.2024 on the 15:15 Devils Canal cruise. Our Captain (I can’t remember his name but he is in photo!) was fantastic and funny. It was just my BBC Mum and I and most companies would cancel, but it was such a relaxing and informative ride.

A 50 minute joke

They canceled the small boat trip but offered us the large boat or told us to try and get a refund. We chose the larger boat and it’s a joke. It travels 20 minutes upstream VERY SLOWLY, turns around for 10 minutes, and goes back the same way 20 minutes. That’s the 50 minute boat ride. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Great time!

The size of the tour was great, however we were only on the Devil’s channel for a short amount of time and there was no microphone on the boat so the guide had to turn around to talk to us. This meant she was rushed because she needed to turn back around to drive the boat.

Nice boat trip!

We really enjoyed this boat ride. You get to see Prague from a different perspective. It was informative and relaxing. I highly recommend

Disappointed ☹️

Got to the boat and found out the Devils Channel cruise was not even running. Put us on a 1 hour cruise that was cheaper but did not give us any compensation.

Wonderful Experience

Most memorable experience. Guide / Captain shared all details of various key places of interest in Prague.

Beautiful sunset cruise

Beautiful and relaxing sunset cruise of the Vltava river. A great way to spend our last evening in Prague. Jan was really great and knowledgeable about all the sites we passed! It was a little tough to hear him at the back of the boat but overall still a great experience.

Short interesting cruise

Short cruise with good info on the river. Good captain with a sense of humor . Smaller boat made it more intimate.

Lovely boat trip and great host

We really enjoyed this tour, it was a nice way to view the city. And very easy with changing ticket times etc. A nice addition to an afternoon.

Enjoyable

The experience was very relaxing, tour guide knowledgeable and tour started and ended on time. Always a plus..😊

Great way to see the river and the devil channel including the old mill.

It was very nice, the viw from the river is great, the only recommendation is to inform that the dock number to embark is number 6.

Great tour

Tour guide friendly and interesting. Taught us some interesting facts and had great jokes. Would recommend

Nothing special

The tour was just mid. Nothing special; would not recommend. The tour just made a small circle around the river basically.

A great way to see the area from the river!

Excellent cruise! We chose this one because we wanted a short cruise to give us a general perspective on the area on our first day here. Our guide was excellent, and there was no problem hearing or understanding anything she said. I definitely recommend this one!

Never again...

I was exactly 2 (two) minutes late, confirmed with the customer assistant, in a rainy day and with a fractured knee, and the boat had left, not very nice, is it??? Infuriating.

Great boat tour, value for money

Amazing boat trip, very value for money. Peter the guide was friendly and funny. Interesting facts and trivia. Recommend going on a sunny day so you can benefit the most from the tour.

For lovers of rivers and boats

Funny and entertaining host/guide; Nice views of the Charles Bridge and other bridges. pleasant and smooth ride across the Vltava. Just wish the host had a microphone or speaker.

Captain/guide not interested at all.

The captain/guide spent almost all of her time talking to one group of 3 (possibly friends of hers) and barely any time pointing out or explaining anything to the other 10 or so people on the boat. She also seemed to spend less time looking where the boat was going that was ideal (mostly looking towards the group of 3 just behind her). The route seemed to zig-zag rather more than expected. It was a reasonably pleasant 50 minutes on the river, but could and should have been much better.

An OK cruise.

It is OK. Don’t expect the best infrastructure for boarding or finding your pier. The captain was gentle and informative. Just buy it at the ticketing desk and get a more affordable price.

Relaxing boat trip

Great way to see some of the key sights across Prague from a distance and without the crowds. A little historical information given by the captain.

Worth it, nice little break

Enjoyed it but being towards the back of the boat we couldn't really hear very well so relied on the leaflet on the boat for Landmarks. Really friendly though and great photo opportunities.

Evening trip

Went on the evening trip. Beautiful views with the city buildings lit as it became dark. Very good guide. Preferred this experience in a smaller boat.

Nice scenery seeing the...

Nice scenery seeing the sights from the river. Sometimes it was a little hard to hear the commentary from the captain.

Nice trip

Nice boat trip (not a cruise :) ) because this was small boat and was more personal like on the big ships. Our guide was good and she stopped few times and well described some historical places...

Great sightseeing

Friendly and personable Captain made the ride enjoyable and entertaining. A nice ride down the river with explanations of what we were seeing. Would definitely book again.

Canal boat trip

Wonderful trip, best part going through canals, beautiful scenery and driver had great knowledge. Great value and 50 minutes was a perfect length

Devils channel, Vltara river cruise

We really liked the guide/driver. It’s easy to find the location BUT we had to search around for correct quay. We were directed to the wrong one initially but luckily had plenty of time to find correct one. Leave enough time for problems like this. It’s a cool way to see the Charles Bridge and other sights from the water. And it is not expensive. We needed the small break from the mammoth number of steps we were taking every day 😁

Glad I went

Great tour, very nice perspective of the town and the channel. Very nice little boat, seems much more in theme with the city than the huge boats.

Basic cruise

Very simple cruise. It is a small boat. The weather was great. An opportunity to sit down and relax.

Vltava river, 50min cruise

Short but nice boat trip. Nice guide with a whistle stop tour of the main attractions along the river. Would recommend.

Great Tour

Enjoyed a great tour down the river and around the devils canal, our guide was extremely informative and guides are available in at least 20 different languages if needed. The sights were great and we were allowed enough time at each place to take pictures and have the history of each landmark explained, not being rushed at all. Would definitely and at a great price.

Relaxing trip

This was a pleasant way to spend an hour. Relaxing. The boat was not crowded and there were good views for all. I don’t think a boat trip is essential for enjoying your time in Prague but it was a nice experIence and an interesting way to see Charles bridge.

Disorganized and poorly run

The confirmation from the tour operator did not specify the dock from which the tour leaves. There is no company representative on site. We were directed to wait in a long line which ended up not being our specific tour and we missed the boat. This is very poorly run.

Devils Channel Tour

Great tour of Devils Channel in Prague. Great boat captain and tour guide. Very informative and entertaining. A++++++

Great little trip!

Excellent captain/commentator/deckhand!!! Would recommend It was at night which was pretty with the lights. I would also have done the daytime one too

Different view of the city

Informative captain who allowed time for photos. Showed us things the guide book contain Windows slide open so can still take pics if its raining

Very informative and enjoyable

Very informative and kind host called Jan. The trip was very enjoyable and we learned a lot about the city. We were on the boat named Elvira. Would recommend

Very relaxing trip. Worth travelling to Prague in the quieter months.

We had a most informative and enjoyable boat tour. Only 9 guests on board. We had a guide who generously shared stories as he guided us along. It was interesting to view Charles Bridge from the water and to see different perspectives of this most beautiful, and clean, city.

Informative Enjoyable 1hr Trip

Easy to find the boat dock and staff very friendly. Maps on the boat in multiple languages. Warm inside the boat even though it was snowing outside! Very scenic and points of interest were explained, well worth the price.

Short cruise!

Our guide gave a bit of information and pointed out a few of the buildings but overall it was a bit lacklustre. The boat was pretty chilly too!

Great tour!

Great tour around the channel around Prague. Our guide was informative about the area's toured. Great information not only about our tour but the surrounding area as well. Would definitely recommend and would definitely do this tour again.

Boat trip - Prague

Lovely way to spend an hour! Very informative and friendly captain, well maintained boat, with plenty of room. fully recommend.

Nice Short Tour

Nice boat tour. Friendly staff. Worked well for us as something to do before heading to the airport on our last day. Even saw two beavers!

Short and pleasant cruise

We enjoyed seeing Prague by water. Devil's Channel is small but picturesque and after taking photos standing on the bridge of the channel, it was nice to be able to then take photos from the water of the bridge and riverside.

Beautiful City, Disappointing Cruise

We were disappointed with this tour. We had originally booked an afternoon cruise, but it was rescheduled for after dark. The night-time views of Prague were spectacular, and the main reason for our rating. The boat was small (though electric, which was nice). We boarded by walking through another vessel, which was completely dark. Our guide was pleasant, but there was no commentary offered. None. Perhaps other captains provide more? Had we not already spent a day touring the city, we would have had no idea what we were viewing. As it was, I can't help but wonder about several of the sites we did see that remained unexplained.

A great way to see Prague

Following a bad experience on a hop on hop off bus this boat trip provided very welcome hospitality. The boat was electric powered which meant it was very quiet. Staff were efficient at taking drinks orders. The sun shone and the commentary was provided in several languages and provided some interesting facts. I would highly recommend it as a good way to get your bearings before exploring the city of Prague.
