Nice day!

Pleasant little boat tour that allows to see the city from another angle, the guide knew how to answer all our questions and was very invested, he took us through the castle gardens arriving what we certainly would not have done alone. The Zoo is large with a great diversity of animals however we were able to visit it in one afternoon. The bus included for the return, we had no worries on the way.

Fun zoo trip

I have two kids under ten. Despite the crowds, we were able to easily find our guide, Vojta. After a quick walk to the boat, we took a nice ride down the river. Vojta got us drinks and shared some interesting facts along the way. After another scenic walk, we got to the zoo easily. Vojta gave us instructions for getting home, then we said our goodbyes and explored the zoo. This tour went as expected, and I don’t have any complaints.

Poor experience.

My girl friend loves boats and zoos. Thought this might be a great idea, what a mistake. Went to to the Riverside a day early tried to book tickets, got told to come back tomorrow. Tried 3 times. Don't waste your money, our hotel booked a more reliable taxi.

Day out

This trip was really good value for money! The meeting point and our guide were really easy to find. Our guide was super friendly and really knowledgeable about the history of Prague. The boat trip was great and the zoo was huge! Would definitely recommend.

Disappointing

This is advertised as a guided river cruise and entry to Prague zoo There is no river cruise . And no guide . Thr guide accompanies your on a transportation boat along the river to the zoo . There is no commentary . There is refreshment ( no snacks as was advertised). If you want to go to the zoo it’s far cheaper to just book the boat and zoo yourself . Boat costs 390 krone per person and zoo 250 krone per person total 1280 krone for 2 people . This tour cost 2480 krone . So an extra 1000 krone for nothing
