Fabulous guided city walking tour with Martina - Even if you only have one day to spend in Bratislava, this walking tour is an absolute must. Our tour guide, Martina, was incredibly knowledgeable but also engaging and entertaining. We learned so much about Bratislava and Slovakia and felt that we could appreciate the city far more as a result. We also gained lots of useful tips about where to visit and how best to enjoy the local cuisine and culture. If you are staying for more than a day then we would highly recommend you start off your trip with this excellent tour. Great value for money!

Fun and informative tours of Bratislava - Both the city and castle tour, as well as the 20. Century tours were very interesting, informative and entertaining, although the weather was not good. You get a very good overview of the old town and the history of the city and the country. Plus useful tips for restaurants, bars, other activities etc. Definitely recommended!

Fascinating tour of 800 years of history - This was a fascinating and well balanced guided tour. Despite the freezing weather we were kept moving and entertained for 2.5h. The history of the city was brought alive and intertwined with modern political history. Jakob was a brilliant, knowledgeable, funny and understood our needs. I can wholeheartedly recommend this tour for anyone wishing to have an introduction to Bratislava.
