TOURS
We will happily welcome you to our glassworks and show you where our famous Czech crystal is made. You will see an exposition of the history of the Podebrady glassworks during the tour, as well as a short movie about the glass manufacturing process. Finally, we will take you through the company's Cash & Carry store, where each of you will get a present from us, and where you will have the opportunity to purchase gifts from the Bohemian crystal for more affordable wholesale prices than in stores.
We provide the excursions in Czech or English language. In the event that you are interested in interpretation in another language, you must have your interpreter.
