Three-hour walking tour of Bratislava - In September 2023, we went on a company outing to Bratislava on the Twin City Liner. Our guide Andrea picked us up at the Radisson Blue Carlton Hotel. She was immediately sympathetic to all of us and immediately scored with a great general knowledge of the city, the neighboring countries, as well as facts and figures about Bratislava. Furthermore, she was very courteous and attentive and also paid attention to breaks. We liked it very much and we recommend the tour.

THE BEST TOUR - OMG! I can’t describe this experience, it was unforgettable. I definitely enjoyed Bratislava thanks to this tour. Jana, our guide, was the best guide I have ever had; she was so clear, so specific, and very patient.
This tour is practically the only thing you need to get to know Bratislava, is complete, not that fast and interesting.
I recommend this a 100%, totally worth it.
Thank you Jana and Viator, we LOVED Bratislava.

Delightful Bratislava city history tour with Daniela - We booked a private Bratislava City Walk tour. It was a very interesting tour about the history of Bratislava / Slovakia and our tour guide Daniela showed us the sights within the old town center. Getting to know more about the coronation era was a highlight for me. Afterwards she gave us advice what else we could do in Bratislava.
With our lovely and knowledgeable guide Daniela the two hours were flying by.
Thank you.

White Christmas is what I got in Bratislava! - I loved every minute of my time in Bratislava!
My tour guide - Eva, met me on time and took me around the city. We visited the iconic structures such as the palace, castle, etc., and walked through the snow cover city going over the history. Eva knew the best stores for souvenirs, and local chocolates and pastries. She even took me to a store that sold vintage Bratislava magnets.
We ended the tour at the castle with some hot chocolate.
Cheers to Eva and Taste of Bratislava tours! Thank you for a fabulous time in Bratislava, Slovakia! I must return for a longer stay!

Excellent tour with Eva - We did a tour of Bratislava and our local guide Eva was wonderful. She had such a passion and knowledge of the city. High recommended, we could discover the city without her gentle guidance.
