Getting to know Bratislava - The guide Roman is just incredible 🔥 I want to praise his clear, sonorous voice and excellent English. The tour was very interesting, a lot of history (but not boring), lots of jokes and even more beautiful places. If you plan to join in winter, dress warmly, as the walk takes 2:30 hours. Roman also told us about places with local cuisine where you can warm up and have a delicious meal. I definitely recommend it 👌 And don't forget to leave a tip if you liked everything ✨

Brat City - We had a wonderful time exploring Bratislava with Mili! It’s always fun to see a new city through the eyes of a local with the dry sense of humor that is inherently Central European. We got a lot packed in to just a few hours which I appreciate. My only regret is that we did not stay longer! Definitely will devote a few nights in Bratislava next time. Thanks again!

One of the best walking tours in Europe! - Roman was a wonderful guide! He had information and commentary on not only every stop of the tour, but also the special events that were happening on the day of our tour (Three Holy Kings Day public holiday) and every question that was thrown his way. The tour was the perfect length and despite the freezing temperatures and icy roads, it was such an enjoyable almost 2 hours outdoors. Roman also came equipped with intel on which paths were too icy to traverse, and which stores and restaurants would be open on the public holiday which made our limited time in Bratislava so much more productive.

We love Bratislava. Thanks Mili - What an amazing day. My Fiancé and I spent 2 hours with a small group and our guide Mili walking the city of Bratislava. Mili from the moment we arrived was welcoming, friendly and had a great energy. I knew this would be a fun and informative tour. Mili covered a brief history of Slovakia and Bratislava, local attractions, Architecture, culture, food as well as her personal experiences. I left feeling like I could come back for more. Thanks Mili, we loved spending our afternoon with you.

Worthwhile recommend - Worthwhile recommend on a day trip from Vienna. Easy to find. Good guy. Good information from history to local places to eat. What you’d expect from a good 2 + hr walking tour of the city. Don’t be fooled by the 5 euro price - I thought that was odd - it’s only for the web companies and please tip the guy. He’s out there working for a living. Enjoy
