Great Tour Of Bratislava - I would like to highly recommend this tour. Daria the tour guide did a great job. She met my wife and I at our river cruise ship and took us to all of the key sites throughout the Bratislava area, through a combination of walking and driving, and provided a lot of great details on the sites and historical significance. This was especially notable as there was a last minute change in our cruise time in port, however Daria was able to accomodate the last minute change and compress the tour so that we were able to see everything. This tour was a great way to see all key sites in a 1/2 day.

A Historical Adventure - My adventure with Daria was absolutely delightful! Not only did I see more than I bargained for, but Daria's wealth of historical knowledge made the tour truly exceptional. As a history buff, I make it a point to take tours in every city I visit, and this one ranks among the top! The added bonus of being picked up from my hotel, despite it not being on the list, just added to the fantastic experience. I'm already planning to do this again with friends – highly recommended!

Best tour of Bratislava - go private and immerse yourself in the history of the city! - Best tour in Bratislava! After confirming details the night before, Daria and her driver met us in the lobby of our hotel right on time. We left in the car and received excellent information about all of the sites we visited, both historical and contemporary. Daria was brilliant! She took us to the red army memorial (very moving) walked us through old town and took us to Devin castle. She answered all of our questions and gave us tons of insight regarding Bratislava's history. A private tour with Daria is the best way to see the city.

Best Day Tour - Our Guide Suzanna was remarkable. She made this a great day. She was full of information and was very accommodating We did not want the tour to end despite the fact that it was a long day. This is a Tour that anyone visiting Bratislava should consider taking.

Fantastic private tour!! - This was a very detailed, extensive private tour. We got picked up from our hotel and had five great hours with a local guide. We learned so much about the history of the city as well as neighboring countries and the region in general. Make sure you eat your breakfast because you'll do a lot of walking!! Lol But it was all very worth it and we really felt like we got to see all of Bratislava and Devin Castle.

7 hours jammed into 5 - This is a 5 hour tour that should really be a 7 hour tour. While you see a lot of old town Bratislava and learn about and get to visit Devín Castle, a little more time would have made it a better tour. When it comes to Bratislava Castle you drive by it, that’s it. The description seems like you might do a little more than that. We had to an Uber back to the castle later in the day to actually go to Bratislava Castle. Felt at times we were rushed during the tour
