About this tour
Czech food is hearty, seasonal and rarely explained well to visitors. Most menus near Old Town Square are written for tourists; a few streets away, the same dishes are cooked properly and priced for locals. This tour takes you to those places.
What you will taste
Expect the classics: beef in cream sauce with bread dumplings, goulash, pickled sausages or cheese, open sandwiches and a pastry that grandmothers still bake. The beer is usually a fresh lager poured from tanks, which is how Prague pubs keep it at its best.
Private means flexible
We adapt the stops to your group. Families start earlier and skip the second pub, beer lovers can add a microbrewery, and guests who do not drink alcohol get the same tour with non-alcoholic options. Tell us about diets when you ask for the quote.
After the tour
Your guide leaves you with a short list of places for the rest of your stay. If you want a proper celebration dinner later in the week, we can reserve it for you.

Frequently asked questions
Is this tour only about beer?
No. Beer is part of Czech culture, but the tour is about food as much as drink, and it works perfectly without alcohol.
Can children join?
Yes. Children get soft drinks and the same food. The pubs we choose welcome families during the day.
Can you arrange a brewery visit too?
Yes. We can add a brewery tour in Prague or a day trip to the Pilsner Urquell brewery in Plzeň.
