    Visiting Plisner with Hana

    Hana is an excellent guide. Her knowledge about Czech history, the regions we traveled through, crystal making, Pilsner Urquell brewery and the town made the day enjoyable. We highly recommend her for anyone who is interested in this package.

    It ended up just being myself for the tour that particular day. Hana was great. She was knowledgeable and taught me a lot. After the long day I felt like I had a new friend. Definitely sign up for this tour.

    Great day trip outside of Prague

    Hana was a wonderful guide, speaks perfect English and is so easy to speak with. She picked us up at our hotel in a Mercedes van. We visited a small, family-owned Bohemian glass making factory (the glass birds are fabulous), the beautiful town of Plzen, followed by the Pilsner Brewery tour. The surprise hit of the day was lunch at the brewery (pork, sauerkraut and potato dumplings), which was delicious — the best meal I’ve had in two weeks in CR. The beer and tour were great too! This tour was a great addition to our vacation.

    A wonderful day trip

    Hana provided a wonderful, relaxing day. I was excited for this trip because this is where my ancestors emigrated from. We really enjoyed seeing how Bohemian glass is made and brought some home with us. The visit to the brewery was great, especially the lunch and beer tasting. At the end of the trip, Hana took us to the town square and cathedral, which was very special to me to see. We highly recommend booking this trip. You will not be disappointed.

    Response from the operator: Dear Barbara, thank you very much for your lovely feedback. We are truly grateful for your review and happy that you have enjoyed your day. Hopefuly we will see you again one day. Best regards, Mila.

    Day trip to Pilsner Urquell brewery and bohemian glassworks: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Prague.

    How much does Day trip to Pilsner Urquell brewery and bohemian glassworks cost?

    +

    Prices start at $223 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Prague usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Day trip to Pilsner Urquell brewery and bohemian glassworks take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Prague is not rushed.

    Is Day trip to Pilsner Urquell brewery and bohemian glassworks worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Prague, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Day trip to Pilsner Urquell brewery and bohemian glassworks?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Day trip to Pilsner Urquell brewery and bohemian glassworks suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Day trip to Pilsner Urquell brewery and bohemian glassworks?

    +

    Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Prague can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Prague and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Day trip to Pilsner Urquell brewery and bohemian glassworks start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Prague within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Prague?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Prague experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best Reviews: Bohemian & Saxon Switzerland Day Trip From Prague, Bohemian & Saxon Switzerland From Prague-Travelers' Choice 2026, Prague Historic Pub Tour with Drinks Included. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Prague?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Prague?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
