“Overall this experience was good. Although when we stopped at 2 of the wineries they didn’t seem very happy to have us there doing tastings. Windy Creek winery was beautiful but only allowed about 10 minutes to sample their wines. Garbin estate also rushed us. They way they were rushing people made it so that they did not get any sales. I would recommend this tour but perhaps the organisers should look at the wineries they stop at and maybe find alternatives or give them this feedback so they can be more accommodating.”

“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…”
