Czechia · BREWERIES
Pilsen made the first pale lager in 1842 and the cellars there are still cut into sandstone. These 15 brewery visits, in Prague and out west, are compared on how much you see, how much you taste and how long the train takes.
Tour Pilsner Urquell’s historic cellars, modern bottling plant, and brew houses before tasting unfiltered beer in Plzeň.
“Oldrich was a fantastic guide and made our tour fun and joyful throughout the visit. Learning about the strong history and closing with Unfiltered lager is a superb.”
Tour Prague’s Staropramen brewery history, brewing displays, and four-beer tasting in a compact one-hour visit with optional Czech food.
“Great self guided tour, nice English audio to follow into each room! Amazing beer at the end :)”
Sample nine Czech beers at three Prague microbreweries, enjoy local appetizers, and explore the city with an English-speaking guide.
“This tour had good/decent spots which is why I gave it 2 stars but other than that everything was very blah. The tour guide was nice but she had no knowledge of beer. She even said she didn't like drinking beer. This could have been a much better tour with a better tour guide.”
A practical Segway ride to Prague Castle views, Strahov Monastery, St. Norbert Church, and a historic brewery, with minibus transfers.
“The equipment and tour operator were timely and appropriate. The individual guide was focused more on his political and theological opinions than history and architecture. We tried to refocus the conversation on history rather than his opinions of our county. He was kind to offer to take our picture with our "fake American smiles" which quite ruined any photographic memories of the excursion. I have booked with Viator 10+ tours in various countries and have not had this kind of bias against US tourism anywhere before. I have not ever left a negative review on a tour but this experience tainted our opinions of Prague from our first day in…”
Explore Plzeň’s Brewery Museum, medieval cellars, a Gothic malt house, and enjoy a 0.3-liter Pilsner Urquell beer.
“Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, kein großes Museum in der Gegend. Keller. Ein kostenloser Becher natürliches böhmisches Bier für Feinschmecker wie mich. Einen Besuch wert. Ich empfehle es. Ich habe es ohne einen Führer getan.”
Escape Prague for sandstone towers, a medieval castle lunch, Czech beer tasting, and a guided day in Bohemian Paradise.
“Great trip! Petr was a very friendly and attentive guide who made me feel comfortable throughout the trip. I enjoyed every part of the trip, from the hike to lunch to the brewery visit, it was very well planned. Jan the trip coordinator was also very proactive in making sure I was prepared for the trip and keeping me informed on how long I had to wait during pickup.”
Visit Pilsner Urquell and a Bohemian glassworks from Prague, with brewery tasting, Czech lunch, transport, and a small-group option.
“Pretty well timed and interesting tour. We were lucky on that day it was just the 7 of our party taking the tour so we had the guide and his time all for our selves. Our guide Fabrizzio was keen to explain the history of the region as we journeyed, which was quite good for a history buff like me. Our first stop was at the Ruckl crystal factory where we could observe the famous Bohemian glass-making in the traditional manner. Then off to the Pilsner Urquell brewery where the pilsner larger was invented! This was different to couple of other beer / brewery tours we have taken in the…”
Taste Czech craft beer at three Prague mini-breweries, learn from brewers, enjoy appetizers, and finish with unlimited beer.
“Samuel è una guida molto simpatica e preparata, giovane. È stato un piacere, unica pecca che pensavamo di bere più birre invece di solo 7. A parte questo è stata un’esperienza che consiglio di fare a tutti”
Taste 11 Czech beers at three Prague microbreweries, with tram rides, brewing lore, local history, and an English-speaking beer guide.

Travel from Prague to Dětenice for a castle visit, copper-kettle beer tasting, medieval dinner, live music, and a fiery evening show.

Explore Prague’s beer culture with PragueWay, from Pilsner Urquell to monastery brews, local pubs, Czech snacks, and castle views.
“Our Beer Tour guide, David was absolutely phenomenal! David was not only very knowledgeable but an enthusiastic local who was incredibly passionate about beer. David thought us so much about not only beer, but Czech culture as well. This tour only allows a very small group so the experience was very personalized and included some great local spots away from other tourists. Of course this is a wonderful tour for anyone interested in beer, but even more so for anyone wanting to experience the local culture. David really went out of his way to make sure everyone had a great time. 10 out of 10, I cannot recommend this tour…”
Hike Tisa Rocks, see Germany’s Bastei Bridge, and sample six Czech beers on a full-day trip from Prague with hotel pickup.
“Long, but rewarding, day as the sights were incredible. Breathtakingly beautiful and a definite “must do” for outdoor enthusiasts. Not a day for the unfit as we put in more than 23,000 steps - many up and down steep steps, but oh, the payoff! Alex, our tour guide, was excellent and mastered every step from pick up to drop off. Do this!”
Visit Glasstar glassworks and Pilsner Urquell from Prague with lunch, a small group, private guide, brewery cellars, and fresh lager.
“My parents raved about their tour with Hana to the Pilsner Urquell Brewery and Bohemian glassworks. Hana was wonderfully kind, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. My parents felt very well taken care of in Hana’s capable hands. She picked them up on time from their accommodation, provided safe driving throughout the day, and was an expert guide in both locations. Great value for money as Hana takes care of everything and is flexible to accommodate guests. She is easy to talk to, and speaks several languages fluently! We plan to hire Hana for additional tours in the area when our other friends come to visit Prague. Thank you Hana!!!”
