The Actual Experience: A Step-by-Step Breakdown

Starting Point and Getting There

The tour kicks off in Smíchovské nádraží, a convenient tram or subway-accessible location just outside Prague’s city center. Meeting here, you’ll be greeted with a sweet snack—a small gesture that makes the start feel personal rather than rushed.

Once everyone’s assembled, you hop onto a small local train for a 15-minute ride. This train journey is not just transportation; it sets the tone for a relaxed day, allowing you to settle in and get into the countryside mindset. The train is a charming way to transition from city buzz to tranquil green spaces.

The Nature Walk

After the train, you’ll embark on a 1.5-hour, 5 km walk through the countryside. The terrain is mostly downhill and on paved or sturdy paths, making it accessible for most walkers. The route passes through a picturesque village, old quarry sites, and lush greenery. Along the way, your guide shares stories about local history and outdoor traditions, which helps deepen the experience.

If you’re worried about the walk, it’s worth noting that the paths are well-maintained, and the pace is relaxed. You’ll be supplied with water and a small snack for the hike, so you won’t go hungry or thirsty. We loved the way the guide pointed out interesting sights and told stories, making it more than just a walk—it’s an exploration of Czech rural life.

The Brewery Visit and Lunch

A short walk (around 15 minutes) brings you to the craft brewery housed in a building from the early 20th century, full of character from the First Republic era. Inside, you’ll get a brief peek into the brewing process—an appreciated detail for beer enthusiasts. The brewery’s setting is charming, with a cozy, historical vibe that adds to the authenticity.

Lunch is served here, featuring two courses of traditional Czech pub food paired with a flight of beers. You choose your favorite brew to enjoy in a proper pint—this isn’t a quick taste, but a real beer experience. The accompanying food is hearty and flavorful, typical Czech fare, which complements the beers perfectly.

We read one review mentioning how “the beers were excellent, and the food was very satisfying,” which is a good sign that this is more than just a quick snack. Plus, you get a souvenir beer glass to take home, a nice keepsake to remember the day.
