Reviews Vltava River
“very hard to get around on a 1st time visit. we expected better directions. taxi and uber expensive and this was a tour with no transport. for 1st time in prague do not book without transport. we did not go.in the end. next time book one with transport.”
“Senti-me um VIP em passar à frente das pessoas que estavam na bicha!”
“Wij kregen geen audiospeler en dus geen geschiedkundige info over de Moldau, noch Praag noch gebouwen of bezienswaardigheden die we langs de vaartroute zagen, in onze taal. Het eten was schappelijk, de muziek was niet oorspronkelijk Tchjechisch. Wij konden wel rekenen op 18° C op 1 oktober, is dat mooi meegenomen en tevens een mooie zondsondergang, en avondschemering.”
“Very enjoyable cruise on the river, food was good, bar service good, very pleasant way to spend the early evening looking at Prague from a different view!”
