5.00Pilsner Urquell: The Original Beer Experience offers a truly authentic deep dive into Czech beer culture cost Kč1,049.00 i.e 44 Euro approx. The one-hour Tapster Academy gourmet tour is well paced, informative, and thoughtfully presented. Our guide, Tap Master Roman Lotter, was outstanding — extremely knowledgeable, confident, and spoke excellent English, which made the experience smooth and engaging. He explained the history, pouring techniques, and philosophy behind Pilsner Urquell with real passion and respect for tradition. The beer tasting was generous and properly demonstrated, showing why technique matters as much as the beer itself. This experience feels genuine, educational, and professionally run — not touristy at all. A must for anyone who truly appreciates beer.
So much fun and good customer service

5.00Located in the heart of Prague, Pilsner Urquell: The Original Beer Experience is a premier destination that celebrates the world’s first golden lager. This immersive attraction takes visitors on a sensory journey through the history of Pilsner Urquell, the legendary brew that revolutionized the beer industry in 1842. You can explore the secrets of its unique brewing process, which relies on high-quality Czech ingredients and the traditional open-vat fermentation method. The highlight of the tour is undoubtedly the tasting session, where guests can savor the crisp, perfectly balanced bitterness of a fresh Pilsner poured by expert tapsters. The experience also emphasizes the art of the pour, showcasing distinct Czech styles like *Hladinka* and *Mlíko* that enhance the beer's rich foam and flavor. With its blend of high-tech storytelling and authentic tradition, the center offers a profound appreciation for the "golden standard" of lagers. It is a must-visit landmark for anyone looking to understand why Pilsner remains the foundation for 70% of all beers brewed today.

5.00We were just 3 people in the course so it felt like a vip experience. The bar woman was great and really went in to details, we learned all the pouring techniques with a czech tap and how to pour the different styles of beer. All in all we also drank about 7 beers by the end of the course. At the end the certificate is nice and a bottle of beer with your name on it is great
A fun experience with tastings at the end

5.00What a fabulous tour, they made it really interesting and funny when going through the process of making the beer which you do on your own with audio and then you get a tasting with a guy with more facts. At the end you get 2 free beers! An excellent tour.
Prost!

5.00We 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. She wasn’t intense - she was relaxed but yet serious about the craft of pouring. We learned of the different pours to Pilsner Urquell. Since it was just the two of us, we got to learn and pour all three pours again and again to perfect our craft. Of course, we got to drink our own fruits of labor. The location of the experience is super close to our hotel, W Prague. The course is an hour. It was fun and something different than the usual history tour. P.S. Šnyt was my favorite kind of pour - you will have to try this experience to find out what it means, what it looks like, and what it tastes like. lol
Tapster training!

5.00We started with the tour and finished with the tapster pouring course. What a fantastic experience. The story of the origin of Pilsner Urquell was very well told. We proceeded to the tapster academy to learn to pour the perfect beers. Masha was excellent and we had a great amount of fun learnin, pouring and drinking the perfect Ŝnyt, Mlíko and Hldinka!
