Quick Overview
Looking for a fun, relaxed way to get to know Prague’s lively neighborhoods while sampling some of the best locally brewed beers? This private, 3-hour tour costs $295 per group (up to 1 person), led by a young licensed guide born and raised in Prague. During this experience, you’ll explore the city’s vibrant areas, enjoy beer or soft drinks at every stop, and savor traditional Czech pub food and Czech Hrkovice tastings. It’s a fantastic mix of culture, local flavor, and authentic pub atmosphere.
What we love about this tour is how it combines learning with tasting—your guide, who genuinely knows Prague inside out, will introduce you to the city’s hidden gems and trendy venues. We also appreciate that each pub is carefully selected for its authentic vibe and artistic interior, giving you a true taste of Prague’s pub culture. Plus, the flexibility to have extra beers or food if you want makes it feel less like a strict tour and more like a local outing.
A possible consideration is the price point—while $295 covers the entire experience, it’s a private tour, so it might be pricier than group pub crawls. If you’re budget-conscious but still crave a personal, in-depth experience, this might be a bit of an investment.
This tour best suits adults interested in local culture and craft beer, particularly those who enjoy personalized experiences and want to explore less touristy neighborhoods with a knowledgeable local guide. It’s perfect for beer enthusiasts, culture seekers, and first-time visitors who want an authentic feel for Prague’s modern and traditional sides.
