“We did the Guinness beer pouring experience in Dublin in 2024 and saw this tour and thought we would give it a try. My husband and I were the only two people for the Thursday noon tapster class. Maïsa (I think that is how you spell her name - I don’t speak Czech) was a trainer. For someone who started doing this job in June of 2025, she was super knowledgeable and chill about the whole experience.

“It was a great tour! Pilsen is a nice town, and we got a great sense of the city by talking to our guide Trish, who's originally from there. We originally signed up for the private tour largely because it included the brewery tour, which was sold out separately. We found that portion to be above-average interesting as far as brewery tours go, in part because of the historical nature of the building. They aren't kidding about the temperature of the cellars -- it's cold down there! The restaurant Trish chose for lunch at the end was great. We'd recommend this tour for anyone who likes good food and beer…”
