It combined a little bit of everything: geology, history, local culture, etc. The countryside of Northern Bohemia really is beautiful, and provides a very different view of Czech life than one gets from the hustle and bustle of Prague. Martin, the guide, is superb--very friendly, speaks English well, and very knowledgeable about the region that he clearly loves. Finally, the lunch that is included is also quite good, with full free choice from an extensive menu at a nice local restaurant including beer!. All in all, an excellent value for a very worthwhile experience.”

“Our guide arrived a couple of minutes after the event was supposed to start and she never really recovered. (apparently her bus was late, it happens) We tasted several good beers and had some nice snacks - but four of the five beers were from the same brewery and the guide didn't do much beyond serving us and reading the labels. She also didn't do anything to encourage the attendees to chat and mingle. The location was also odd - the basement cafeteria of a youth hostel - not a bad space exactly but it certainly didn't make you want to linger. Also wasn't ideal that the hostel folks were…”
