Michal made this trip. We corresponded prior to leaving the states and set up a customized trip to Pilsen and a tour of Pilsner Urquell Brewery. Pick up and drop off at our AirBandB. The drive to Pilsen Michal explained historical facts and provided a "mini tour" during the drive. We spent some wonderful time in Pilsen Square and learned the history and meaning behind many of the structures. Again, Michal is very knowledgeable and provided us with context you could never get from a written tour guide. The weather cooperated and we made the walk up the church steeple for a wonderful view of Pilsen. Lots of stairs with some on a good incline as advertised. Then to a local microbrewery for lunch. No hassles with parking at Pilsner Urquell and a short walk to meet the tour guide from Pilsner Urquell. Good overview of their brewing process, but was made for the mass audiences. HIghlited by a taste of unfiltered beer in the cellar. Then a ride back to Prague. Michal again providing interesting conversation and details ( playing Modaul's symphony as we are traveling by the river)
We did a private walking tour with Michal 2 days prior and again highly recommend. Provides the history and context of Prague and he is extremely knowledgeable.
