Imagine strolling through Prague’s charming streets, but instead of just admiring the architecture, you’re also sampling some of the best Czech beers in authentic pubs—this is exactly what you get with the Drink Through Prague’s History, One Pint at a Time tour. For $177 per person, you’ll spend roughly 4.5 hours walking about three kilometers from the grandeur of Prague Castle to the lively Old and New Towns, with a focus on Czech beer and pub culture.
What we love about this experience are two things in particular: first, the combination of informative beer lectures with relaxed pub visits, making the drinking feel both fun and educational. Second, the chance to pour your own pint—no experience necessary—adds a memorable, hands-on element that turns a simple pub crawl into an interactive adventure.
A possible consideration? The tour is centered on beer, so it’s not suitable for those under 18 or anyone avoiding alcohol. Also, if you have gluten allergies, this might not be ideal. But if you’re a curious traveler who enjoys good company, hearty snacks, and a taste of local tradition, this tour offers a lively, authentic way to experience Prague beyond the usual sights.
This experience is perfect for beer lovers, history buffs, and anyone eager to blend sightseeing with socializing. It’s especially suited for travelers who prefer a small, intimate group to allow for more personal attention and questions.

Who Would Enjoy This Tour?
This experience is ideal for beer enthusiasts, history lovers, and those seeking a relaxed, social way to discover Prague. It’s especially suitable for travelers who enjoy interactive activities and want to pair sightseeing with a taste of local culture. It’s not suited for children under 18, or anyone who strictly wants to avoid alcohol, but for those open to a fun, flavorful journey through Prague’s pubs—this is a winner.
Why This Tour Stands Out
We appreciated the knowledgeable guides, who go beyond just pouring beers—they share stories and insights that bring Prague’s pub scene to life. The small group size creates an intimate atmosphere, making it easy to ask questions and make friends. The downhill route makes the walk comfortable and easy, even for those with limited mobility.
The unlimited beers and hearty snacks are surprisingly good value when you consider the quality of the local brews and the generous portions. The hands-on pouring experience is a memorable touch, turning a simple pub visit into a personal achievement you’ll talk about long after the tour ends.
On the downside, if you’re not a beer drinker or have dietary restrictions, you might find this tour less appealing. And because the focus is on beer, it might not suit travelers looking for a broader cultural or sightseeing experience.
Final Thoughts
This tour offers a truly engaging way to experience Prague’s pub and beer traditions with the added benefit of a guided narrative. It’s perfect for those who want to enjoy authentic Czech beer in historic settings without the rush of a typical pub crawl. The mix of culture, conversation, and hands-on fun creates a memorable day that combines education with a good dose of local flavor.
If you’re a curious traveler eager to discover Prague beyond the postcards, and you enjoy the laid-back vibe of a small, social group, this experience will give you a delightful taste of Czech life, one pint at a time.
