Andrea picked us up at the scheduled time. We drove to Plzen. First stop was Bohemia Sekt where we first got a round in the vineyard. Then there were tasting of seeing different sparkling wines. Along the way, she told me about different places we passed. Afterwards there was lunch at PilsnerUrqeuell with subsequent round in the brewery. Finally there was a taste of beer and a round in the souvenir shop. Andrea has great knowledge of Prague, the surrounding areas and about beer and wine. Really a nice excursion. Recommended
Dear John, Tusen takk for den fine anmeldelsen! 😊 Det var en stor glede å tilbringe dagen med dere tre – ekte vin- og ølentusiaster! Jeg er glad for at dere satte pris på kombinasjonen av Bohemia Sekt og Pilsner Urquell, og at dere fikk en god opplevelse både med smakingene og historien underveis. Takk for hyggelig selskap og gode samtaler – og for at dere valgte å utforske det beste av Bøhmen med meg. Velkommen tilbake når som helst for nye smaker og eventyr! Varme hilsener, Andrea 🍷🍺
My husband & I did a full day private trip to Bohemia Sekt sparkling wine cellar & Pilsner Urquell brewery with Andrea. We were conveniently picked up from our hotel, greeted with snacks, and hit the road for ~1 hr. We thoroughly enjoyed the Bohemia Sekt cellars. We received a very informative private tour where we learned about & witnessed the traditional method of sparkling wine creation, the bottling process, and finally got to try various samples of sparkling wine. We then headed to Pilsen to the Pilsner Urquell brewery where we had a delicious lunch before we did a group tour around the Brewery and sampled beer from their cellars. Andrea was an excellent guide. She had a great relationship with all of the folks at the wine cellar & brewery, was our personal photographer/already knew all the spots for the best photo ops, and very graciously recommended a great local spot for dinner. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves sparkling wine and/or Pilsner Urquell beer! Thanks so much Andrea! -Gabby & Michael
Thank you, Gabby and Michael, for such a fantastic review! It sounds like you both had an amazing day exploring Bohemia Sekt and Pilsner Urquell—two iconic spots for wine and beer lovers. We’re glad to hear the experience was both informative and enjoyable. It’s always our pleasure to add those extra touches, like capturing the best photos and sharing local dining tips, to make the day even more special. Thank you again for joining us, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime for more great adventures! All the best! With kind regards from Prague, Andrea
Andrea was the best tour guide we could ever have asked for. Her attention to us as her guests was immeasurable. She was incredibly kind and generous with her knowledge and hospitality. We will definitely be using her guide service again the next time we can come back to the beautiful Czech Republic. The tour we went on at Bohemian Sekt was really nice and the tasting at the end was eye opening to the quality of Czech wines, and made us want to explore more of the wineries in the Czech regions. To top it off we had an excellent lunch, tour, and tasting of the unfiltered beer at the Pilsner Urquell brewery, bottling facility and most of all the aging cellars below the brewery. We really couldn't have asked for more. I would highly recommend Andrea and her tour company to anyone.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR KELLY! I hope you will enjoy another great and memorable day today! In a way I wish it would be even better than yesterday, but then, I guess I would be jealous! 😉 Just kidding, have a great one and many regards and thanks to both of you. You were great travelling buddies. And many thanks for your superb and quick review you dropped us here. Your words have totally made my day! I am so glad to hear that you had such an amazing time and enjoyed exploring Bohemian Sekt and the Pilsner Urquell Brewery with me. I really hope it was not our last time. So please, do not hesitate to contact me anytime in the future to join me again, there's so much more of the wine-scape to explore. Warmly, Andrea, Wine Travel in Czech
I had a very enjoyable wine and beer tour progam, visiting the best sparkling winery in the Czech Republic and the Pilsner Urquell brewery with my wife. Thanks to the charming and friendly guide, Andrea, who prepared a perfect tour itinerary. It was the most enjoyable day we spent in the Czech Republic.
Dear Sooyeon, dear Haeseung Lee, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. You were a lovely couple and I am happy you enjoyed your "date" in Pilsen, combining wine and beer and elsewhere than Prague! I remain at your disposal for any further wine tour experience in the Czech Republic. Best, Andrea
