Highlights
  • Zbiroh Castle - Your private guide-driver will pick you up at your Prague location. After about an hour of a comfortable and safe private drive, you’ll arrive at Zbiroh chateau. Originally a 13th-century castle, it has been transformed into a stunning chateau that also served as a studio for the renowned Czech Art Nouveau painter Alphonse Mucha, who was also a Czech Grand Master Freemason. Explore this residence on a tour (group, audio guides, 8 EUR per person). Visiting the chateau is optional.
  • Pilsen - After a 30-minute drive, you’ll reach the city of Pilsen, known as the beer-brewing capital of the world since the 19th century (with a beer-brewing tradition dating back to the 13th century). Enjoy a typical Czech lunch at a local beer house (INCLUDED). Take a private guided tour of Pilsen’s historic center (originally a 14th-century town) with its golden fountains, and get a panoramic view of the city from the highest church tower in the Czech Republic at the Cathedral of St. Bartholomew.

You will be accompanied by a friendly, professional local guide who is flexible and can adjust the program to your needs. It will feel like you’re on a trip with an old local friend who is ready to offer the best insider tips and recommendations.

  • Pilsner Urquell Brewery - Visit the Pilsner Urquell brewery on this tour (joining a group, admission INCLUDED) where you’ll learn about the brewing process and taste what locals call “liquid bread” directly from oak barrels, brewed according to the traditional recipe.

Fantastic Day Trip - We had a private day-trip with Michal which turned out to be one of our favorites. Michal was a fantastic guide who was charming and personable. He took our needs and wants into account and managed to provide us with a wonderful day outside of central Prague. He was an excellent driver and a pleasure to speak with. He provided us with recommendations within Prague that we took advantage of and he was absolutely correct! I would highly recommend spending a day with Michal as he is truly an excellent guide who obviously enjoys what he does. This was a great experience thanks to his efforts and knowledge.

Fabulous Prague Experience - This trip rates in our Top 5 of the many we have done all around Europe. Michal was a fantastic guide and host and really made the experience a memorable one. His knowledge and cultural understanding far exceeded our expectations and he genuinely was interested in sharing all of it with us. In addition, he took the time to get to know us and provided lively and engaging conversation throughout our day. I would highly recommend visiting Prague with Michal and participating in any of the tours he offers. It was a wonderful day for our entire family!

Great experience of one day trip - This tour was the private one. Michael is one of the most great guide in this area. He is the expert on this areas and guided with his deeper knowledge. The experience was over expected one. I went Pilsen and brewery tour but it was not fixed course and we can choose and change some small options. Brewery tour is same quality as others ( I went Heineken, Guinness, Carlsberg, Kirin, Suntry and Sapporo). But we can tasting hazy pilsner ulkel. We can purchase it on your bottle.

Great day trip out of Prague - We had a wonderful day trip out of Prague with Michal. He is amazingly conscientious and knowledgeable. This trip is not to be missed by beer fans! We learned so much about the city of Pilsen and the surrounding area as well. Lunch was delicious, served in a quiet, pleasant courtyard. The Chateau has an interesting history and offers spectacular views for photos. Michal offers a variety of tours and we plan to take another with him when we return next summer.
