Eva our local tour guide was very knowledgeable and funny. Our driver was also very nice and pick us up on time. The city was interesting we were able to learn through walking around, visiting the sites. It was a simple day, relaxing because it’s only a half day tour so it’s not exhausting at all.

Ms Lubica was a very knowledgeable guide and we thank her for skill and ability to translate. We had a 2hour tour and with only 6 in our group easily covered it in 1.5hours. Overall we felt there was less to see in Bratislava than we expected but the tour was enjoyable.

Best choice for getting to know the city in one day. Our tour guide Milin was very friendly, funny and knowledgeable. We got to see some “hidden” places too!

Loved the day. Beautiful old town with so much history. Even though it was Christmas Eve day and many things were closed, it was well worth going.

This tour was great. The van picked us and dropped us off infront of our accomodation and the tour was very informative. I highly recommend it.
