Reviews Vltava River
“Very easy to book, location on the map took us directly to where we needed to go. Really enjoyed the river cruise- very informative and knowledgeable captain, my only critique is having the captain to have a microphone of some sort as some of it was hard to hear and on the quiet side.”
“It was convenient, easy to book and I never had to wait long for a bus. We had a 48 hrs one , which included the boat trip.”
