Authentic Local Experience in a Small Group or Privately
Quick Details
In the Czech Republic, we drink beer. And as a visitor to our country, you should drink beer with us! On this one-of-a-kind Prague beer tour, you’ll be whisked away to our guides’ favourite watering holes, tucked away in hidden neighbourhoods, so you can experience first-hand that famous Czech beer-drinking culture. Whether you’re an advanced beer drinker or still don’t know your barley from your hops, our expert local guides will help you to find the right beer style for your tastes. Na zdraví!
How taking this tour will benefit the local community: All the bars, restaurants and beer halls we visit are 100% owned and run by local Czechs. As we’re in a small group of no more than 10, we don’t disrupt local life. By taking our guests to off-the-beaten-path locations, we support businesses that usually would not be visited by travellers.
Beer is often one of the first things people think of when they hear of the Czech Republic. And so they should! That’s because our country is blessed with the perfect conditions for making the best beer in the world. But when you come here, it’s not enough just to drink great beer – you also need to experience beer the authentic Czech way. And we’re going to show you exactly how to do that.
Your Czech Beer and Tapas Tour starts in the very heart of modern Prague: St. Wenceslas Square, where we’ll meet under the statue of our first duke and patron saint of beer-makers, St. Wenceslas himself.
A true beer-drinking experience is a social one, so you’ll be joined by a small group of fellow travellers and beer enthusiasts. Together with your new friends and local guide, you’ll embark on a beer adventure through the local neighbourhoods beyond Prague’s busy city centre.
What makes this Prague beer tour really special is that each guide offers their own unique route, tracking their favourite bars and pubs in the neighbourhoods of Prague that are closest to their heart. (Don’t worry – even if we veer far from the historical centre, we’ll be sure to bring you back there when the tour is over!) Our team has been researching relentlessly to show you the best that our local brewing scene has to offer.
Over the course of 3.5 – 4 hours, you’ll visit 4 different drinking establishments, drink 5 unique beers from local microbreweries and savor 3 appetizers that go perfectly with the beer. Your guide will explain the country’s beer-making and beer-drinking traditions and teach you some common customs and phrases. With each stop, you’ll become more and more immersed in the authentic Czech beer culture as you get acquainted with several different beer styles and flavours.
If you love beer, food, culture and exploring interesting places along with new friends, this Prague beer tour is for you!
In case of rain, please dress accordingly and bring an umbrella or a raincoat with you. In winter, temperatures can get quite low, be aware of that and put an extra sweater into your backpack. But remember – it’s your vacation, so if you are cold during the tour, just say so to your guide. There’s always a cafe nearby where you can warm up and then go on with the tour.
Walking involved in the tours vary as each tour guide takes a slightly different route (which means you can take our tours multiple times and always discover something new). But we still run food and cultural tours, we don’t run marathons. If you lose weight on our tour, we’ll offer a refund :-). However, please do let us know in advance if you have mobility issues. We can always adjust the itinerary so that there’s less walking included.
Traditional Czech cuisine relies heavily on meat, milk and butter. As much as we’d love to host anyone on our tours, please know that we cannot properly feed you if you are vegan or lactose-intolerant. Please contact us if you would like recommendations for good places for you to try outside of this tour – we are happy to help.
Vegetarians are welcome – just be aware that your tastings are going to be slightly different from the rest of the group.
You’re welcome to join our beer tour even if you’re not exactly a beer lover – we can switch your beer for local wine (but don’t expect it to be of supreme quality, we visit very beer-centered venues on this tour).
In the bars, your guide will be making all the payments, including a tip on your behalf to the staff.
We reserve the right to change the course of the tour and places visited in case one of the venues is closed. In the event of a change of menu, we will pick the best alternative, ensuring no loss in quality or quantity of inclusions.
We’ll pick you up at your hotel (or elsewhere in the city center).

What an amazing experience. Not to be missed when visiting Prague. Our guide Johanka was one of the best. She thought of everything to make our experience memorable and informative. She provided the high quality that makes Viator such a great and reliable company.
– Viator, Dec 2022This tour was fantastic! It was probably my favorite part of our trip and I am not even the real beer lover in our family. Vojta was an amazing guide. He knew so much about both beer and about Prague in general. The tour was a great way to see parts of the city we would not have explored on our own.
– TripAdvisor, Nov 2022Our beer tour with Misa was fabulous. She is delightful and it was a super fun evening, with her and other like minded, fun travelers. She took us away from the tourist area to several pubs and recommended the specialties at each place. Lots of food too! Would definitely recommend for a fun night in Prague!
– Google, Nov 2022Wonderful tour!! Vojta was a great guide, fun and very knowledgeable. We went to several local pubs outside of the Prague city center via the tram . It was fun to leave the tourist area and visit local places. Great way to taste and learn about many different (not just pilsners) local beers in Prague. My husband and I had a great evening and enjoyed this tour!
– TripAdvisor, Oct 2022Excellent four hours spent exploring some of Prague’s locally pubs and breweries, our tour guide was exceptional with both knowledge and passion for beer and the city but also in listening to stories we shared to make it an enjoyable night for all.
– Airbnb, Sep 2022I had a great time with Guillaume on the Czech beer and tapas tour! We got out of the touristy areas and saw craft beer from a local's perspective. I'd recommend this tour to any beer lover who wants to see more of the city and learn about the beer culture in Prague. Thanks Guillaume!!

– TripAdvisor, Jun 2022This tour is a beer-lovers dream, and equally great for anyone looking to enjoy a great evening in Prague. Martin was so knowledgeable and passionate about beer and Prague's rich beer history. We enjoyed hearing the stories of how beer became such an important part of the culture in Prague, as well as the experience at some of the most historic, interesting, and fun places for a drink in the city. Loved it!
– TripAdvisor, May 2022The beer tour was a lot of fun. Martin was an excellent and knowledgeable guide. We had a great time and saw some parts of Prague that we hadn’t explored yet.
