Highlights
  • Strahov Library - Walk behind the ropes through the baroque halls of one of the most impressive libraries in the world. Your private group accompanied by a historian guide will have access to the otherwise inaccessible parts of this unique library. Witness the collection and the environment of the age of enlightenment interpreted by monastic frescoes with commentary by your guide.
  • Strahov Monastery - See the Baroque Strahov Monastery of The Royal Canonry of Premonstratensians, one of the oldest of this order in the world, founded in 1143. First documentation of beer brewing comes from the beginning of the 14th century. Just beyond Strahov, located on the hill over the Prague Castle, are breathtaking views of the city. The Baroque Strahov Library contains book collections numbering approximately 200,000 volumes, we will walk behind the ropes to have an intimate encounter with the library decorations (entrance at own expense 400 CZK appr. $18 ).
  • The Strahov Monastic Brewery - Taste St. Norbert craft beers of the Strahov Monastic brewery. The brewery is so small that it only serves its own customers.
  • Brevnovsky Klaster - Arguably, some of the best craft beer in the Czech Republic. We will walk through the campus of the Brevnov monastery, established in the 900s, the first in the Czech lands. And then taste the craft beers brewed in the former stables.

Absolutety Wonderful - Highly recommend this tour and Insight Cities. Vadim was a fantastic guide - interesting, personable and knowledgeable. The libraries were stunning and as a private tour, it was lovely to get that space and peace. Beer was great too! Enjoyed this one so much, booked other Insight Cities tours in Vienna and Budapest. Bonita was the so incredibly helpful in organising these.

Enriching Tour of Prague for Art, History, and Beer Lovers - A fascinating experience! We are so glad that we stepped away from the main tourist attractions, and experienced the rich history of Prague with our guide Matous! Mat was incredibly informative, and we enjoyed his commentary on the monasteries and breweries. The perfect tour for beer, art, and history lovers. We truly felt like this tour enriched our time in Prague!

Amazing afternoon - Vadim was an excellent guide, we learned so much and had a great time! The special access to the monastery library coupled with Vadim's vast knowledge was incredible. I highly recommend the Monastery and Brewery tour for anyone looking for a unique experience.

A must on your Prague visit - One of my favorite tours of Prague. It’s a great way to spend three hours seeing amazing sites and having fun with a local. Matous was great and we were able to sample the local cuisine. The library I cannot say enough about it and is a must for anyone visiting Prague. Loved the low key vibe and beer

Wonderful tour! - We had a wonderful tour with Vladim. I would highly recommend the Monastery and Brewery tour. We learned so much and having a private tour guide at the Monastery is the way to go. We also enjoyed the brewery’s we went to!

Enlightening and entertaining - Vladim took my colleagues and I on an enlightening tour through history and local Czech beer for an afternoon. It was a great way to learn about the culture and beer all in an afternoon. I would highly recommend this tour.

Best Trip Ever - Vadim is a perfect tour guide. Not only he has deep knowledge of the history of Strahov Monastery, but he also has incredible knowledge of the Czech Republic, which is very helpful for us as tourists who want to know more about the country we visit. He is also very attentive in reminding us to bring sufficient cash to purchase the Strahov Monastery tickets. We also ended up tasting a lot of great beer. My favourite was the beer ice cream from the restaurant near the Strahov Monastery.

Swedish special - We got a special tour that also highlighted the influence of former swedes, since we are from Sweden. In perfect english of course. The library with all very old books and the fantastic roof paintings is inspiring also for todays life. Finally we ended up in a very nice pub for a local afternoon beer. Can be very much recommended.
