“As a group of nine engineers with a keen interest in technology, we booked the tour to explore modern brewing and delve into Pilsen's rich history. We were pleased to have Veronika as our guide; she answered all our questions and provided insight in perfect German, giving us a strong understanding of various topics. However, our technical curiosity was left wanting as the production lines at the brewery were all inactive, with only the can filling line operational and out of view for visitors.”— Peter E on the Pilsen small-group city and Pilsner brewery tour with lunch tour
