Prague: 3-Hour Beer Tour and Traditional Czech Dinner

Imagine wandering through Prague’s enchanting Old Town, a glass of famous Czech beer in hand, while learning why this country leads the world in beer consumption.

With a price tag around $70 per person, this experience blends history, culture, and conviviality into a fun-filled evening.

What we love are two things in particular: first, the chance to sample authentic Czech beers in a local setting — not just the touristy spots.
