Our guide Hana was wonderful, very informative, considerate and sociable. She looked after us very well. The glassworks tour was really interesting- a great chance to get right up close to the workers to see exactly what they were doing, and to get a sense of the conditions under which they worked. It was a little magic to see a blob of molten glass become a beautiful vase in minutes, under their skilled workmanship. Then to see the fine and laboured work of creating the cut glass patterns in other pieces. Right through to the finished, perfect product. A lovely drive from Prague into the countryside, and the nesting stork, were bonuses. Highly recommended.
We had the best time! Hannah was great. Really interesting day out! Lots of fun highly recommend.

I definitely spent a lovely time with hana, I appreciated how easy it was to contact her, she is reliable, knowledgeable and so easygoing. We ce learned a lot and a opportunity to blow some air in the glass and it was even harder than it looks. Definitely a perfect Bohemian experience
This tour was one of the highlights of our stay perfect experience from the beginning to the end. Our guide, was exceptional, professional, warm and friendly . Her insights and thoughtful touches made the experience truly special !!! The workshop was great We have loved learning and seeing up behind the scenes how it’s all made !! We were so impressed to see how our craft has turned out after Hana had brought it to our hotel. The visit itself was fascinating, but Hana made it unforgettable.
Thank you very much for these kind words and for allowing us to show you how the traditional Czech crystal is made. We are very pleased, that you have enjoyed your day and as we say...good guest makes a good guide. We hope to see you again one day.Best regards, Mila.
This Bohemian glass factory tour was a wonderful experience, made truly special by our guide, Hana. She picked me up from my hotel and took me to the factory with another couple, explaining the glassmaking process clearly and with great care. We even got to try glass blowing ourselves. Because the finished piece needed to be picked up the next day and I was already traveling to Dresden, Hana went above and beyond. She kindly picked up my Christmas ornament from the factory and, since she had a tour in Dresden, brought it with her and left it safely at my hotel front desk while I was out. Her thoughtfulness and professionalism were exceptional. I would absolutely take another tour with Hana when I return to Prague and highly recommend this experience.

It was a great experience! Our tour guide, Hana, was very helpful and knowledgeable. I truly recommend this tour—especially with Hana as your guide.
We had a great time at the tour. Our guide, Hana, was awesome at explaining the process in detail. She is an excellent driver as well! So she made the trip a very pleasant experience. We are glad we booked it and feel lucky we got such a good guide. She picked us up at the hotel, punctually, and the vehicle was clean and upscale. We learned a lot about bohemian glass and made us appreciate the craftsmanship and artistry of it.
