Common questions

FAQ

Are admission to the Becherovka Distillery and the colonnades included in the price?

No — admission tickets are paid separately: walking the colonnades is free, tasting the thermal springs from a porcelain drinking cup is free (cup CZK 250 from the shop). Jan Becher Museum of Becherovka CZK 220 per adult including tasting of 4 spirits (online reservation, in the May-September season one week ahead). Grandhotel Pupp lobby and hotel colonnade are free to enter, dinner at the Becher restaurant is approximately CZK 1500-2500 per person. The transfer (EUR 550 E-Class) covers the chauffeur, vehicle, flight tracking if pickup is at PRG and 5 hours of waiting.

Can the plan be changed — add Loket Castle or swap Becherovka for Moser Glass?

Yes. The classic plan: 4 h colonnades + 1 h Becherovka. We can add Loket Castle (12th-century Gothic on a rock above the Ohre, 15 km from Karlovy Vary, 1 h tour — the opening scene of Casino Royale 2006) for an EUR 60 supplement. Swapping Becherovka for the Moser Glass Museum (crystal glassworks since 1857 supplying European royal courts, 1.5 h tour with a glassblowing demonstration) carries no surcharge. We tailor the plan to guest preferences after an initial conversation.

My flight arrives early morning at PRG — does the same-day plan work?

Yes — landing at PRG 6:00-8:00, transfer to the hotel and luggage drop (20 km, 30 min), tour start at 9:00. The plan runs 8 hours, so a return around 17:00 leaves time for dinner in Prague. We track the flight in real time, 60 minutes of free waiting after landing is included. Service runs 24/7. The Karlovy Vary colonnades are open year-round without tickets. The Becherovka Museum runs Monday-Saturday 9:00-17:00, Sunday closed. Grandhotel Pupp is open year-round. The Karlovy Vary International Film Festival takes place in early July — at that time we adjust the plan due to celebrities and traffic.

Can I add a stop on route Prague (hotel) or Prague-Vaclav Havel Airport (PRG) -> Karlovy Vary thermal colonnades -> Prague hotel?

Yes. Planned stops and waiting windows can be included within a single booking.

Will I receive route confirmation before pickup?

Yes. Core timing and operational details are confirmed before dispatch.
