Good introduction to Bratislava. - Enjoyed the walk. We learned a lot about the city. We were on tour when the PM was shot, so that was interesting, to say the least.

Overall amazing - Absolutely amazing tour. Sebastian was informative, funny with his little jokes and all round a lovely person which made you feel more at ease. Would have loved to walk back to the old town with him but a flight back was booked 2 hours after the tour. Would 1000% recommend and will probably do this tour again when I go back just to refresh

Great walking tour - Sebastian was a very friendly tour guide who took us on a easy paced tour of the city. He provided valuable information on the history of Bratislava as well as some great places to eat and drink. If you are in Bratislava look him up and take his tour

The Best of Bratislava! - With only a short overnight stay in Bratislava, I joined this 2.5 hour tour at 2 pm and was not disappointed! Sebastian is highly knowledgeable and gave our small group a complete overview of the city history while transversing throughout the Old Town and atop the Castle walls. He covered all of the must-see attractions listed on the travel videos. Definitely recommend this superb walking tour!

Excellent introduction - I booked this tour as it was my first time visiting Bratislava. The guide was very knowledgeable about Bratislava, and very knowledgeable. Also, as part of his tour he mentioned some local food to try and pointed out some restaurants. This allowed me to try some local later on in the day. The tour officially ended at Bratislava castle. This was the ideal place to end the tour, as there was a panoramic view of the city and you can buy a ticket for the castle for an even better panoramic view. There is an option to return to the starting point of the tour with the guide, but nobody took advantage of the offer on the particular tour I did.

A GREAT WALK WITH SEBASTIAN IN BRATISLAVA - A great walk Sebastian thank you. I found your rhetoric interesting and not cluttered with too much statistical information as I have previously experienced and more importantly for me, a reasonable pace. Our previous guide used an audio loudspeaker type device (no earpieces for clients) which was ineffective with the local din. Your spoke without devices, clearly and not too fast - good on you Sebastian we heard you.

Excellent tour for an introduction to the city. - Nice tour around rhe city centre, mixing a combination of gastronomy, a little bit of politics, a little bit of religion, some architecture, that are necessary to understand and put in context the history of Bratislava.
