14.Pilsen Highlights Small-Group Tour and Pilsner Brewery Tour including Lunch and Beer Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 18 reviews · 5 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $132

Spend about five and a half hours with a local English-speaking guide in Pilsen. Walk the old center, visit major landmarks, eat a two-course Czech lunch with one drink, then tour Pilsner Urquell’s brewery and taste unfiltered beer from oak barrels. Guides have included Lucie, Lucy, Trish, and Dan.

“It was a great tour! Pilsen is a nice town, and we got a great sense of the city by talking to our guide Trish, who's originally from there. We originally signed up for the private tour largely because it included the brewery tour, which was sold out separately. We found that portion to be above-average interesting as far as brewery tours go, in part because of the historical nature of the building. They aren't kidding about the temperature of the cellars -- it's cold down there! The restaurant Trish chose for lunch at the end was great. We'd recommend this tour for anyone who likes good food and beer…”
