Date of tour: June 3, 2024…read more Not sure how it took me so long to do this review, it was probably the highlight of our time in Prague and the gold standard for food tours! First, our guide: Klara was a fabulous and fascinating tour guide (even if she did throw shade at one of my favorite stores, Primark!), her mix of North American knowledge compliments her Czech sensibilities. She did a great job of introducing the groups and laying the groundwork for us. Here was our tour: 1. We started with Pilsner Urquell beer (or alternatively the dark Kozel beer), fried cheese with tartare sauce, marinated carp, a selection of sausages with mustard, potato salad, and Prague ham with creamed horseradish at the Lokal pub over at Dlouha 33. There was also some pickled fish and Czech Gothaj salami with onions. While the food here wasn't my favorite, I did try pretty much everything and nothing was too weird or gross for me! 2. We continued to Kantyna at Politickych veznu 5, where we tried the beef tartare, pulled pork, schnitzel made with pork neck and some pickled vegetables. A fantastic stop; even the beef tartare! Also got a kick out of the cool, old-school bottle of Royal Crown (RC) cola from Georgia! 3. We took the subway to the Kro Bistro & Bar at Sokolovská Street in the Karlín district, where we sampled the rotisserie chicken with brown butter and soy sauce, fermented potato pancakes, braised beef with dill sauce and roasted potatoes, and cabbage slaw. The beverages were a light beer from the Vinohradsky Pivovar brewery, a sweet local cider or lemonade. So. So. Good! The beef was so moist and savory, I could have drank the juice it was in! And the fermented potato pancakes looked and tasted like pitas, loved them! 4. Then we took the subway and finished the tour at the Myšák pastry shop at Vodickova 32. We had the buns with warm vanilla custard, "vetrnik": choux pastry with vanilla pastry cream, caramel whipped cream and glaze, and "likerova spicka": biscotti with chocolate mousse, eggnog, and chocolate cover. We also had black coffee. A fascinating mix of items that--while not all amazing--were all interesting. Months later my husband still talks about the vanilla pastry with caramel whipped cream!

Do not recommend! I paid $143 (around 3,000 CZK or approx…read more €135) for what turned out to be the most disappointing and upsetting experience with a food tour company in Prague. Not only did I get food poisoning, but when I contacted them to cancel, they showed absolutely no empathy or understanding. They flat-out refused to issue a refund, citing a confusing and inconsistent cancellation policy. Tripadvisor clearly states that cancellations made 24 hours in advance are eligible for a refund, yet the receipt I received after payment claims you need to cancel 21 days in advance. This bait-and-switch is incredibly dishonest. When I tried to explain my situation, their response was shockingly rude and unprofessional--they even called me "disrespectful" simply for pointing out the scammy nature of their refund policy. For a tour that is by far the most expensive food tour in Prague, their customer service is appalling, and their greed is on full display. I will be disputing the charge with my bank. Avoid this company at all costs--you deserve better. To add insult to injury, when I asked why a refund wasn't possible, they said that "preparations and reservations" are made the night before. Really? Who's going to eat the food I paid for? What exactly are these "reservations," when most restaurants regularly cancel or adjust group bookings? One booking made a day before isn't going to make or break a night. Plus, traditional Czech food is largely preserved or pre-prepared--it's not like they're cooking anything fresh per person. And if the tour booking stays open until it fills, how are you already prepping for me specifically? Their explanation makes no sense. Then they changed their reasoning again and said they couldn't refund me because the tour guide needs to be paid for their time and effort. I get that people need to be compensated, but I never met the guide, never received the service, and canceled as soon as I knew I was sick. If the guide was still paid, that's on the company--not the sick customer. It's just another excuse to keep the money, no matter what. The inconsistency in their responses shows they'll say anything to avoid doing the right thing. Again--go with literally any other food tour in Prague.

Eating Prague Tours turned out to be just the ticket. It is a bit pricey - around 75 euros (about $81 USD) for a 4-hour (12:30 -4:30 pm) small group tour of 6-10 people, but you can get quite stuffed by the end of it! We had a knowledgeable and enthusiastic local guide to take us to cafes, restaurants, and bistros, where we sampled poppyseed kolacky, open-faced sandwiches, Prague ham and sausages, a divine sauerkraut soup, Czech dumplings, and apple strudel. (The particular 6-7 stops vary by season.) In addition to the food & drink, we learned a bit about Czech history and interesting tidbits about the city itself as we walked the cobblestone streets to each spot. Highly recommended!

Incredibly, there is a service in Prague that provides the truffles for local restaurants, and they offer demonstrations of a real truffle-hunting dog at work! Absolute fascinating how the dog is trained (using 100% positive reinforcement) and just incredible to see the wonderful nose-work! Ooh, and they gave us dinner at the end (with wonderful pasta with truffles!)

We weren't surprised to learn he's been featured on TV and radio, but we were still impressed that in only 3 years Petr has become the #1 truffle supplier in the Czech market by working collaboratively with other truffle hunters across Europe. And Nela is a key partner of course! She's an eager, happy, beautiful dog. But about truffles - the industry is far more interesting than we would have expected, and you'll enjoy learning about it. I had mistakenly expected we were going to be hunting truffles out in the forest, but Petr explained how arduous and uncertain that would have been, so the truffle hunting demonstration was actually much better. And we enjoyed discussing politics and life with Petr over our truffle lunch, which was quite tasty. I'm looking forward to making truffle meals with our gifted truffles when we get back home, and I'll remember Petr and Nela fondly every time I taste truffles from now on. This tour is unusual, enjoyable, and memorable. Highly highly recommended. (Not just by me, but as of today, 77 reviews on TripAdvisor are all 5 stars.)

I was in Prague, on my own, and since I'm a beer fan decided to try out this tour…read more It was a very (very) cold night in January, but I was able to score my spot at the tour by going to their office a few hours before it started. The guide was pretty funny and interesting and told us some cool facts about the beer market in Czech Republic. If you have no idea what I am talking about: beer here is like water and they are very proud to make some of the best and most traditional beers in the world. We visited around three micro-breweries and in each of them we were able to talk to the managers (or owners), get a bit of an explanation and sample. By the end of the tour I admit I was a bit tipsy, specially because there was no food or opportunity to eat with the tight schedule we had. At the end we got a beer taster certificate which I still have in my house. Certainly recommend this as a to-do activity if you are in Prague alone or with company.

Great tour! We had "Bob" as our guide, and he was very knowledgable and was also a very nice…read moreperson to talk to. We went to three different places that each brewed their own beer, and had some sausage snacks at the last one (where you could stay longer and have more beer).

He provided the history of the area and showed the camp, and fortress (the crematorium was closed on Saturday). While I really had no desire to see a concentration camp, being there and understanding how this once resort town for the rich was turned into a ghetto where Jews were sent by Nazis to work and dies was educational. In person, it was chilling to see how in a city (Prague) where a former KING had invited Jews to live peacefully for a few hundred years in community with neighbors could be ravaged in less than a decade by stealing property and sending community members to die. The highlight of the tour, for me, was walking through the interior of the fortress. Because Terezin had been a fortress around a town and in which at present there is an educational institution, this concentration camp may differ from other in Germany proper. Patrik took us through the museum which held objects, and other displays from the camp. The humanity of those held as slaves by the Nazis shows through in the posters, pictures and attempts to try to "normalize" the hell created. Take time to look at the exhibits there. The most depressing part of this tour were the headstones with the names of those who "came through" the gates and perished. For judges in the USA who are faced with anti-semites who claim there holocaust did not happen and perpetrate hate crimes, should be able to sentence the guilty to tour camps and help, In short, book and take a tour with this company.

This was the first thing we had booked for the day that we arrived in Praha. We had done a bit of…read moreresearch (of course) and found this company. We liked the tour description, and the fact that it came with food (it's billed as a "beer and Czech tapas" tour). When we first approached the statue of King Wenceslas - about twenty minutes early - we saw a large group of guys. We were afraid that they would be on the tour with us, too! Not that it would have been horrible, but I really am a fan of the smaller, easier to manage tours. So we walk up and see a group of about 25 people, and my heart sank. A couple of minutes later, I looked up and saw someone holding what I thought was a sign for the tour. We headed over towards him (thankfully he wasn't being mobbed by the group of guys), and sure enough, it was our tour guide, Travis. He greeted us by name, which I thought was strange. How did he know us? Half a second later, he put his sign away, and it hit me: we were the only ones on this tour! Thank goodness I like the small tours, eh? I won't recap the entire night of booze and food for you, but I do need to say that Travis now shares the title of "best tour guide EVER" with our guide Mac from Edinburgh. Travis is an expat - originally from Idaho. And listening to him talk about Prague validated my initial love for this city. He speaks with such passion about the place, the history, the beer and the people that it absolutely makes me love the city even more. I tried to explain to him why I'm so in love with a place I've never visited, but I felt like I was stumbling over the words. It didn't matter to him, though, because he not only understands it, he's living it. The tour took us to four places in total, where we had beer and food based on his recommendations. Now, I had just had a fairly large beer on a mostly empty stomach not two hours prior, so I was certain that I'd have a sip or two of the first one, and then call it quits. Prague beer must be magical. I didn't feel the beer at lunch, and two tour beers later, I was still feeling fine. I swear that had this been San Diego, I would've been on the floor at that point. I did end up passing on beers three and four (though I took a couple hearty sips of my husband's serving of beer 3 before he took it away from me), but mostly because I was feeling a slight scratchiness in the back of my throat. In hindsight, drowning these cold germs in booze might have been the best course of action. One of the things we initially liked from the tour description was that the tour promised not to take us to the "touristy" places. Travis took us to places that meant something to him personally, which made it more special for us. These weren't places that were getting a kick-back from his company (or if they were, it wasn't obvious!) These were places that were important to him - to his connection with the city or to his connection with beer. In most of the places, we were the only ones speaking English. It was a fantastic, immersive experience in this country! Besides the booze and food, Travis delivered some excellent history, not only on the city as a whole, but on the neighborhoods we passed through. He was full of suggestions of where to go to eat, drink (of course) and play tourist. And he made us feel like we could belong in a place like this, despite the fact that we don't speak Czech. We're both so happy that we chose this tour, and that we met Travis, his wife Jessica and their friend Diego (they joined us at the second to last stop, and accepted our invitation to finish the night out with us). I was telling my husband afterwards that Travis could have canceled or tried to reschedule us to a different day with a bigger group, and we would never have known. The fact that he came out to tour with just us - and delivered a quality, fun and informative tour every step of the way - speaks loads to his character. My only regret is that we didn't get a picture with the group! Five hours after the tour started, we were making our way back to our hotel (with a map full of Travis-approved selections in our pocket). That definitely was a great way to kick off our time in Prague, and we were excited to try some of the beers and locations (and beers) that Travis had recommended.

He moved swiftly through the spots but still stopped often and detailed the cultural highlights of this part of the old town.

Brian was fun and entertaining, the tour was a blast and at the end we still had 25 of the 30 people. That's a pretty good turnout. This was my NINTH Sandeman's tour after Edinburgh, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Dublin, Madrid, Brussels, Copenhagen, and Porto. Definitely one of the better ones! [Review 12238 overall, 2022 of 2019.]

The definite highlight was the Kutna Hora (Bone) church although we ended up visiting a few churches. Lunch at Dacicky was very good. You had your choices from pork knuckle to Duck to Beef Cheeks & some vegetarian options. Our guide Brandon was awesome! He was very knowledgeable & had some great stories & took care of us. If you are lucky enough to get Brandon, make sure you get his Prague list of recommendations for restaurants, attractions, etc. There were about 20 in the tour group and a second in Spanish tour group-so total about 40 on a coach bus. Bring your walking shoes as we walked to all the sites after we visited the church. ( & their is about a 15 minutes walk from Old town center to the bus) A great way to see some of the sites outside of Prague. Would highly recommend Brandon & Sandeman's.
