Our guide Peter was great. Had a great conversation with him while we drove to and from the brewery and glass blowing factory. The brewery tour was 1.5 hours long and pretty good for a brewery tour. Plus, straight from the cask beer sampling near the end of the tour. Peter also treated us to a great lunch in Plzen. I would recommend this tour.

This tour was great and our guide, Peter, very helpful and friendly. While we were driving to our destinations he provided us with a lot of history and background on the city. We were the most excited for the tour of the crystal factory, which we loves -- it was amazing seeing so much done by hand. But we were wowed by the brewery tour -- probably the best beer we've had during our whole trip!

We loved our glass and brewery tour. Both factories were so much fun. We bought some amazing looking glassware, vases and glass pieces at the factory at such incredible prices. Pieces that will always remind us of our trip to Prague. The beer tour was super interesting and the guide was young but super knowledgeable and very energetic- made it fun. Also met some great people on trip. Would highly recommend this tour.

Brewery guide was a lot of fun and very informative. Would have preferred on the glass factory that we were able to follow the whole process. Was shown the finished product, then on back to the blowing. Seemed a little backward

Loved this tour. Fantastic trip ....loved the glass factory and also loved the pilsna beer factory. Both we're brilliant. Our only complaint was our driver!!!!! Our guide was a beautiful lady I think her name was Hilda - an elderly Czech lady....very lovely. However our driver......a man can not call him a gentleman who only spoke Czech or Russian was not very nice....he constantly argued with our guide and travelled too fast and erratically at the most inappropriate times. Loved this tour and our guide but was not very impresses with our driver a centiment shared by others on our tour.

A day trip to Pilsen and the glass factory on the way. Our guide, Djan, went above and beyond to help with a lost passport. Our trip in Pilsen included a stop at the police station.. Very complete tour of the brewery with tasting afterward. Small old-style glass production with opportunity to buy the product. A nice meal in a restaurant near the brewery.

Excellent tour. Glass factory was good but a little disappointed as it works as a production line with little or no individual creativity. Not the tours fault . Brewery was excellent. Caves etc were great but one tasting when they make several beers a little disappointing. Overall great and worth the money.

Very informative tours. Ample time to purchase very nice and inexpensive crystal items. Brewery tour was the best brewery tours we have ever taken. Very good guide. The fresh beer was wonderful. Highly recommended.

Guide was good and helpful. The glass factory tour and the brewery tour were informative and nice. I feel the lunch needs improvement, but overall a good experience.

This was an excellent day trip from Prague. Our tour guide and driver, Jan, was knowledgeable and proficient. We first visited the Ruckl crystal factory in Nizbor. It was really neat to see how these crystal pieces are made and gives one a true appreciation for the work that goes into one. At the end of the tour there was the opportunity to buy some crystal, but there was absolutely no pressure to do so. The prices appeared to be very good!! We then headed off to Pilzen. We were given a 1/2 hour to tour the town on our own before heading off to lunch. Lunch was traditional Czech food in a restaurant in Pilzen. It was very good. Then we headed over to the Pilsner brewery where we had an excellent tour. It was an excellent day tour out of Prague.

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 past, as this was a proper working large-scale factory, rather than something kept functioning just for tourists. Overall it was quite interesting and an enjoyable tour, where we could take our own time for a change exploring the gift-shops, enjoying lunch and taking snaps, etc. Enjoyed the lunch at a local restaurant in Pilsen too, which was part of the package.

Glass factory was a setback. The beer factory is very nice to see

Very interesting to learn how the glass was formed. I love the brewery tour too.Enjoyed fresh beer at the storage site. After Prague, touring the country side was a refresh.

Great tour and knowledgable guide, our group of 10 loved it!
Review by: smarano, July 2016
We loved the glass blowing trip! I have a new appreciation for fine glassware. The brewery was fine. Bring along a sweater. Although it was 90 outside, the basements that are part of the tour are very cold.
Review by: Ronald R, July 2016
We really enjoyed both tours. Truly very educational for us. Now we know why the Bohemian Chrystal is so expensive and why the Czech beer tastes so good!

Very interesting tour. Both glass blowing and Brewery were worth the visit.
