Highly recommended! - Jakob was excellent. A great trip through the city. Good enough that we already recommended it to a couple that just arrived in the city.

Wonderful tour - The tour was fascinating, insightful and very fun. We got to walk through almost the entire old town and hear explanations about the most historically important buildings and streets, finishing with a stop at the famous Bratislava castle. Our guide, Roman, gave us a lot of interesting information, making sure to answer all of our questions and even providing us with recommendations for things to do and places to eat in the city. I would definitely recommend this experience, as it's one of the best ways to get to know Bratislava, especially for first time visitors.

Great your guide with humour - Enjoyed a great 2.5 hour tour with Jakob. His English is perfect and he has a great sense of humour as well as alot of knowledge about Bratislava. He gave us a terrrific recommendation to download the most.com APP which we used for biking. He also suggested that we stop at Skulpture Park; a something and nothing place in the middle of nowhere BUT the meeting point of Austria/Hungary/Slovakia. Fascinating to be there and to reflect on the time when the iron curtain separated east from west.

More than expected - Guide was great with giving great deal of background of history on the city while traversing several of the historical sites . I walked away with much deeper knowledge of city than imagined.

Great tour! - Fantastic tour!! Roman is what every tour guide should aspire to be 👍. The right amount of information, given in the right time. What I enjoyed was the time he gave to take a picture, or look at something, prefaced by saying “take a few minutes, I will be waiting over by (insert landmark)”. You can tell he enjoys what he does. Humour is on point. Here’s one thing I wish I knew while debating to book; don’t be deterred by the price point. In person it is advertised as a free walking tour. The few dollars you pay go to Viator and the tour company, with tips (acceptable is probably 20 euros) going directly to Roman, which I appreciated.
