Good and very affordable tour of the historic city centre - I enjoyed this walking tour around the historic city center, and the tour leader (I think, her name was Bianka) was very good in explaining the various site and taking us all the way to the castle and the parliament building.

Great tour in a beautiful city! - A brilliant tour, in a beautiful city! Kat was a phenomenal guide! So insightful, knowledgeable and gave just the right amount of information. The tour was a good pace too. Thank you! I was however disappointed that Tripadvisor charged £5 for a free tour!! Very cheeky!

Fun and informative - My partner and I were shown the delights of Bratislava by Dominica who was both funny and very knowledgeable on Slavic culture and history. Before the tour even began walking we were given a history lesson on Slovakia. The tour was taken at a leisurely pace as it was a very warm day and we ended it at the castle which was an uphill walk. I highly recommend this tour if you want an understanding of the local culture and broaden your experience during your stay…

Bratislava with a View - I can’t say enough good things about this tour! Our guide was knowledgeable and fun! We learned so much about this great city. And while the castle was unexpectedly closed for the day I do t feel like we missed out on anything.

Above Bratislava - Jakob was an amazing guide with lots of knowledge of bratislava and slovakia. There was a bit of a climb to the castle but it was so worth it. Thank you Jakob for sharing part of your beautiful city!

The best tour in Bratislava ! - What a wonderful experience! I not only got to see the city but also gained a deeper understanding of the country, its past, and how it connects to the present. The trip itself was perfectly planned, but what truly made it special was our guide, Stanka. She has an amazing depth of knowledge about the landmarks, the history, and all the little stories behind them. The way she explained everything kept it engaging and fun throughout. Because of her, this tour is something I’ll always remember. I came back with so many interesting stories that I couldn’t wait to share with my family and friends. If you’re visiting, I highly recommend booking a tour with Stanka — she’ll make it unforgettable!
