Bratislava Wow - Eva was our guide and Vladko was our driver. WOW, what a fun experience. They picked us up at the train station and the tour started promptly. Vladko was a skilled driver and he also provided excellent service including opening vehicle doors, drop-off and pick up at a number of locations, and he had a fun personality. Eva was a terrific guide, sharing local and historical information about Bratislava. We could have never covered so many unique locations, gained so much historical knowledge and discovered so many unbelievable things about Bratislava on our own. On top of it, Eva was knowledgeable and provided a tour experience that was both educational and entertaining. We had a great tour experience and highly recommend this tour and the services of Eva and Vladko. Thank you!

Worth so much more than the price!! - Daniela was our guide, and she was amazing! Super knowledgeable about the history, architecture, and food (especially the sweets lol). She and the driver picked us up at our hotel. She was thoughtful and responsive to what we wanted to do and see. We learned so much on our first visit, and given that we only had a day and a half, this tour was perfect for us. Plus, she gave us amazing recommendations for lunch on the tour and dinner that night. I can’t recommend it enough!!

Most accommodating Guide & engaging Driver - Our guide (I think her name was Danielle) was most accommodating/flexible to me and my friend. We were driven around with the driver Daniil and I really liked that he also talked and engaged with us. It wasn’t all the guide talking. He also gave his input and had lunch together with us. My friend had a dental emergency and we planned our lunch/tour around it. They were very flexible and my friend didn’t have to miss a thing. We are very grateful. Thanks for everything!

Fantastic day connecting with my heritage - We decided to do this tour since we were just a short train ride away in Vienna. Our guide Eva met us at the train station with our driver Daniel. They were both just the most friendly guides and very concerned with our comfort. I mentioned that I had Slovak heritage and we had fun talking about that a bit. This is a comprehensive tour and you see a lot. Devin Castle ruins were a highlight and both Daniel and Eva had an interesting perspective and stories to tell since they both lived in the city during the iron curtain days. Other highlights included Bratislava castle, the blue church and the old historic town. The first part of our tour was by car with various stops then we took a lunch break for some great local food and Eva came back for us after lunch to do the walking part of the tour in the historic district. We decided to stay in town an extra hour after the tour but Daniel nicely offered to come back for us to take us to the train. Uber was very reliable so we did that as to not trouble him. Great day and I would definitely recommend this tour.
