Great - The day tour was awesome even we came late because we go down to bus station. The driver did not announced that those will have a day tour will go down to that location. I called Viator up because we came late and they responded right away. The old town tour was lovely and Suzzana was great. Highly recommend tour once you stay in Vienna.

Interesting and... - Interesting and enjoyable. The only negative aspect was that my family was split up in two on the return trip. One was in seat 20 and two in 12. This was very unpleasant.

Great way to see Bratislava from Vienna. - Was a very easy tour to take from Vienna. Directions for catching the bus was very clear. Met with our walking tour guide easily but was a lot of information to try and take in being only a one hour tour. Food at lunch was good but by the time we made it to the restaurant, they had only 1 option for the main course, which was good. But would have liked to have more options. Beer tasting was good.

Pretty City - Travel Fiasco - The tour and the city of Bratislava were both enjoyable. The location for the beer tasting has shut down, so the restaurant for lunch provided us three beers for tasting, so I guess that was ok. However, the directions for the unguided bus transportation were not clear enough. Everyone on the tour (over 12 of us) ended up stranded in Bratislava without any help from the tour company to help us find a way back to Vienna. If the company provides clearer instructions on where to meet the bus, this would be a 5 star experience.

Worthwhile - Food was good. Beer tasting is OK. Bus drive is short and pick-up and drops are on time.
3 hrs is more than adequate for the sightseeing.

A great day trip from Vienna - Bratislava is a fantastic day trip from Vienna. The bus is easy and let's you off right in the old town. Our guide was wonderful. I would skip the lunch and beer tasting option. There are far better restaurants and micro breweries in Old Town than the ones included in the tour option. Bratislava overall was a lovely surprise.

A lovely introduction to an old city - The tour guide was a little bit late arriving but more than made up for it with a very good tour of a charming European town that is unexpected for travelers used to Western Europe. Part history lesson, part food tour, part sight seeing it was a perfect blend for first time visitors to Bratislava. The weather was chilly and rainy and she also made sure to keep us undercover as much as possible.

Tour guide a yes, lunch a big no ! - Our time with our guide Lucy was the highlight, don’t bother booking this tour with the added lunch. We walked past a million traditional Slovakian restaurants and heard how great they were, only to be taken to a restaurant outside of old town where we were given crumbed fried chicken pieces and chips ! We didn’t fly all the way from Australia for that, it was beyond disappointing, the waitress said she hoped it was as good as kfc ! Don’t waste the money, stick with just the tour guide then find your own lunch, we wish we knew it was going to be non traditional we would have left.

Don't waste your money! - You're taking a chance on this experience as you may not get the full tour as we experienced ourselves. The tour started off great until we were left for lunch. No instructions provided by the guide, in fact we were told along the tour that this was a particular restaurant that we would be eating lunch at, and told on the side while walking that the others in the tour didn't have the same package as us. We were then dropped off at a different restaurant and the tour guide was very quick to leave and didn't give any other details, even though we were supposed to be having a beer tasting along the way of this tour. I ended up having to send an email that was eventually responded to saying we were told by the tour guide where we needed to be for the beer tasting as I requested a partial refund because we only received half of the tour. We never found the place and this experience was a complete rip off for the price and what we actually received. It was great to hear about the history of Bratslavia, but for the walking tour, we should have paid about 1/4 of our entire price, even half is a stretch. Simply put, do not waste your time on this experience, as you'll be disappointed and you will not receive a partial refund!
