Thank you Sebastian😊 - A fascinating Capital city. Or tour guide, Sebastian, was excellent. He delivered the history, the politics and the atmosphere of his home with passion, consideration and diplomacy. Even though a cold windy day we still covered a lot of ground and we’re given a wonderful introduction to Bratislava. We put all our new found knowledge to use the next day, retracing our steps in more detail and following all Sebastian’s recommendations. Thank you for welcome us to Slovakia.

Knowledgeable and passionate tour - Sebastian was extremely knowledgeable and passionate on this tour. We thoroughly enjoyed learning about Bratislava and the views at the end (at the Castle) were amazing.

Great half-day tour of Bratislava - Sebastian was an excellent guide for this half-day tour of Bratislava, despite having difficult conditions--temperature in the low 50s (12-13c), with strong winds. He showed us the city's highlights, culminating in a tour of the castle and its phenomenon views.
