Beer travel · 1-DAY TOURS
Every trip has one free afternoon too few. These 15 full-day beer trips earn the slot, priced and timed so the deciding takes minutes and the drinking takes the rest.
Travel from Prague to Pilsen and Nizbor for two very different Czech traditions: fresh beer at Pilsner Urquell and hand-shaped crystal at Ruckl Glassworks. The eight-hour outing includes coach transport, brewery and glassworks visits, a three-course lunch with one drink, and a guide. Choose shared or private travel for up to six people.

Travel from Prague with an English-speaking guide such as Hana or Václav to Glasstar glassworks and Plzeň. See crystal made by hand, eat a two-course Czech lunch, tour the Pilsner Urquell brewery, and taste unfiltered beer from the cellars. Hotel pickup, transport, admissions, and drinks are included, except entry to the Great Synagogue.
“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!!!”

“The Milwaukee Art Museum was a visual masterpiece—its stunning architecture and lakefront setting made for the perfect introduction to the city’s creative spirit. Inside, the collection was diverse and thoughtfully curated, with something to capture every kind of art lover. The Milwaukee Public Market was a lively and delicious stop. From artisan cheeses to fresh-baked pastries and handmade crafts, it had the kind of local charm that made it easy to lose track of time.
