Took the train from Prague to Plzen.plan this to be a one day trip. Pay the little upgrade to First Class,well worth it.nice ride to the Czech countryside. Upon arrival at Plzen be prepared for a 30 minute walk to the Brewery.Unable to find Cabs at either end. The Breweries cellars and Restaurant are worth visiting,beware lots of Smokers. The... More

Not so much a brewery tour as a museum of the history of brewing in Pilsen. many exhibits including brewing equipment, old bottles and barrels and a fully working scale model of a brewery. Good value for money and for a small fee you can take as many photographs as you want. Entrance includes a small beer at any on... More

English speaking tours are at specific times so be sure to check the schedule on the website before you go. Our guide was friendly and informativa and allowed us to progress thru the tour at our own pace. Her information was communicated clearly and in a friendly manner. Our questions were answered precisely and we enjoyed the tour very much.

We took the train from Prague to Plzen to tour this brewery and took the student bus back to Prague that night. I'm a beer geek, who used to live across the border from Plzen, but being in NATO, was not allowed to visit the birthplace of pilsner-style beer. I've visited many breweries around the world, and this tour ranks... More

The brewery tour was really interesting. It wasn't so much about how beer is made (I've seen that before) as it was about the history and the fact that they make all of the Pilsner Urquell you have ever had came from this brewery! Tips/FYI: The lagering tunnels are really neat and chilly, too, so be sure to bring something... More

Well worth a visit, but be prepared for the 'English speaking' tour guide - you have to give her 'artistic licence' and use a bit of imagination to understand what is being said. Still its a lot better than my Czech! The tour takes you round the manufacturing plant, which for all beer lovers, is of course very interesting, especially... More

This was an interesting tour but you need to take a jacket as it is very chilly during the last part of the tour. The glass of beer is welcome at the end!

The Pilsner Urquell brewery is a must-stop for anyone who loves beer (or history). The tour itself is really well done. Offered in multiple languages, the visit finishes, of course, with a sample of "live" (i.e. unpasteurized) beer available only at the brewery itself. The tour takes guests through the entire brewing process, showing the progress of the operation over... More

We had a very friendly tour guide. The tour was very informative, and he could answer all of our questions. The beer at the end of the tour was great, as well!!
