Prague Segway Tour – 3-hour Double Monastery & Brewery Tour

Exploring Prague on a Segway: The 3-Hour Double Monastery & Brewery Tour

Imagine zipping through Prague’s cobblestone streets, effortlessly covering more ground than you would on foot, yet feeling connected to the city’s vibrant pulse. This 3-hour private Segway tour offers an engaging way to see Prague’s most iconic sights, from the majestic Prague Castle to centuries-old monasteries and the city’s oldest brewery. Led by knowledgeable guides like Sebastian or René, you’ll enjoy a personalized experience that combines history, architecture, and local flavor.

What we love most about this experience are two key details: first, the expert guidance that makes the ride informative and fun, and second, the stunning views you get from high vantage points and scenic parks. A third highlight is the chance to see hidden gems like Villa Muller and the historic breweries—places you might never find on your own.

One consideration worth noting is the activity’s outdoor nature—it’s weather-dependent, and the tour is not suitable for those under the influence of alcohol or strong medication. Also, while the tour is perfect for most travelers, those with limited mobility or who aren’t comfortable on a Segway might want to consider alternative ways to explore.

This tour suits adventurous travelers eager to cover a lot of ground, history buffs who enjoy learning on the go, and anyone looking for a fun, active way to get to know Prague’s layered past and lively present.

An In-Depth Look at the Prague Segway Tour Experience

Starting Point and Overview

The adventure begins at Euro Segway Prague near Maltezske Square, an accessible location with easy access to public transportation. We appreciated that the start involves a brief training session—just 5 to 10 minutes—so even beginners feel comfortable before hitting the streets. The small group setting, with a maximum of 18 travelers, makes for an intimate experience, whether you’re traveling solo or with friends.

The price of $112.65 per person might seem modest considering the length, personalized guide, and unique mode of transport. When you compare what’s included—a live guide, photo service, raincoats if necessary, and unlimited drinks at the meeting point—the value becomes clearer. This isn’t just a ride; it’s a comprehensive, fun-filled introduction to Prague.

Itinerary Breakdown: What You’ll See and Experience

Prague Castle Views (Stop 1)

While we don’t venture inside Prague Castle, the tour’s view of the castle from outside is compelling. Your guide will point out the highlights, giving you context and history. This is a great way to appreciate the grandeur of this historic fortress without the crowds inside.

Old Orechovka – Beverly Hills of Prague

Next, the tour takes you to this luxurious neighborhood, often called the “Beverly Hills” of Prague. Here, the elegant villas and tree-lined streets offer a stark contrast to the bustling historic center. The 15-minute stop is a pleasant break, allowing for photos and a bit of sightseeing without feeling rushed.

Villa Muller and St. Norbert

Onward, you’ll see Villa Muller, a notable example of early 20th-century architecture, and the 19th-century St. Norbert Church. Both stops are quick, but they highlight the blend of architectural styles that make Prague fascinating. We loved how the guide explained the significance of these quiet, beautiful spots.

The Monasteries and Breweries

This segment is the heart of the tour. The Strahov Monastery, founded in the 12th century, and the Brevnov Monastery—the oldest in the Czech Republic—are both awe-inspiring. The brewery at Strahov, dating back to the 14th century, and the Brevnovsky brewery, from the 15th century, offer a taste of centuries-old brewing tradition. The stops here last about 15 minutes each, giving you time to soak in the history and perhaps imagine monks crafting beer in Medieval times.

Reviewers rave about this part—one called it “a super moment of discovery,” and noted the delicious beers and the chance to learn about Prague’s long-standing brewing culture. The combination of spiritual serenity and brewing history provides a unique contrast, enriching your understanding of the city’s layered past.

The Oldest Monastery

The Brevnov Klatér, the oldest monastery in the Czech Republic, is a quiet, historic site that offers a glimpse into Prague’s medieval roots. The guide’s insights deepen your appreciation for how these ancient institutions continue to shape the city.

Relaxing in the Park

The tour concludes with a scenic park stop, perfect for relaxing, taking photos, or simply soaking in the views of the city skyline. This peaceful moment caps off a full day of exploration, making it a balanced mix of active riding and leisurely sightseeing.
