Crystal BOHEMIA a.s. - Jiráskova 223

Amazing excursion, the guide answered every question.We went through the whole production and it was an experience, I recommend to everyone. Thank you

Certainly worth a visit. You will learn a lot of information about the production and products of this company. The visit itself and the opportunity to see the workers under their hands. You can also try glass grinding on your own. The visit itself takes about an hour, which everyone can handle.

I was thrilled to see a shop of my favorite "glass," but I was delighted at the night city tour. The corporate neon sign does not shine all, the shop window dirty, dust on shelves with built-in goods ... In a word, disappointment: (

A very interesting excursion, because of the production volume of glass, there is a shift from manual work to programmed automatic machines. Amazing what these machines can do, so I don't want to reduce the value and art of glassmakers who are grinding and finishing products at all. But I also met with skilful glass masters in many other glassworks previously visited, so I expected it here as well. I would very much like to give a full number of stars for this excursion, but right from the start, the guide (otherwise great) spoiled my mood when she announced a ban on photography. I have visited many glass factories (Nový Bor, Kamenický Šenov, Lindava, Moser, Harrachov, Annín and maybe many other exhibitions) and without exception everywhere I was allowed to photograph and shoot videos with art of glassmakers. I have so many memorial files that I often and often return to. The excursion to the Crystal Bohemia glassworks in Poděbrady is not even half the price for me than the previous ones, because what I saw is doomed to gradual forgetfulness. At the same time, I think that the great fear of the owners and management that someone taking pictures during an excursion could reveal some super secret procedure to some competition or "besiege" some machine, is in my view unnecessary. If a “spy” came on an excursion, at today's level of technology he would shoot everything and no one in the race would know about it. So - shame. This way I can not even recommend a well-known (figuratively) excursion (I can only talk about it). I'm going to "fix my appetite" to some other glassworks where I can take a set of photos for my personal private use.
