Has anyone been on this dinner cruise on the river? Is it pleasant AND any "hiddin" highlights in Prague, eateries sights etc. Thanks.

Yes, we did one almost three years ago and we missed one this last Christmas due to our late arrival to Prague because of snowstorm. Dinner was so called Swedish table, I would say quite good. Also you got a glass of Champaign and they were selling all different kinds of booze. Views of Prague from the river are gorgeous because Prague is so scenic. Suggestion of "hiddin" highlights: Pub U hrocha (Hippo), it's on Thunova Street right under the Castle- very typical old pub with very good beer and cold meals. Prague musicians congregate there after their performances storing their instruments in the corners. Rick's show about Prague was among others filmed also there. Cafe Slavia on the bank of Vltava River. Beautiful view of the Castle. Dissidents were meeting there in communists times and StB (something like Czech KGB) was bugging them. Pub U tygra (Tiger) in Old Town. Famous writer Hrabal used to drink there. You may know 2 movies done by his novels: Oscar winner: Closely Watched Trains and I served the King of England. Also Clinton and then president Havel (playwright and former dissident) met there. There are pictures of them on the walls.
