I don't think to ever purchase a bottle of Pilsner Urquell before this tour, but I will be looking for it on the store shelves. Czech beer is one of the world's best. My husband and I have toured many breweries, but this one is special due to its age (1842). The underground tunnels go on for ever. Really neat! Our Lucy Tours guide, Lenka, walked us around the town of Pilsen, pointing to all the highlights. She was waiting for us when we finished the Pilsner Urquell Brewery guided tour. We went for lunch where she suggested traditional Czech food, including carp chips. When the carp appetizer arrived at the table, we told her to help herself. She said no thank you. She doesn't eat carp (unless it is carp soup). Tricked us! I took a bite, and that was enough. Yech. My husband like it though. Lenka's guidance did not start and end while in Pilsen. Throughout the trip from Prague, she discussed the countryside. I truly enjoyed this tour and our guide, Lenka.
