Prompt coach ride from your hotel. Informed guide on arrival for tour of City, Relaxing cruise back along the Danube. - We strolled through the heart of the city, past shops, restaurants, and points of interest. The city is steeped in history including it's previous connection to the Soviet bloc of nations. It's a sister city to Vienna Austria, but's it's culture is so diverse. The food has a slavic cast to it with influences from other Baltic states. The cruise back to Vienna along the Danube was fun and relaxing. Great storytelling by our guide.

Great Day in Bratislava - Pick up at our hotel was great. Ride to Bratislava was good. Our guide in Bratislava was informative and showed us all the nightlights in town. Liked that we had lots of free time to explore on our own. All and all a good day.

Interesting city not sure about guide - Very interesting city! The tour could be improved. Too much talking and not enough time on key highlights of the city. The tour was in English but a lot of times the guide was talking in a different language to other guests.

Unsatisfied - I felt the tour was very disorganized. We transferred by bus from Vienna to Bratislava without a guide so it was just a transfer, there was no orientation or information. We were delayed leaving Vienna because one of the travelers was in a wheelchair and the tour manager didn’t know what to do about her since she couldn’t board the bus by herself. Apparently she was told by the tour company that it wouldn’t be a problem but the bus driver and tour manager were unable to help her on the bus for insurance reasons . The manager asked if anyone on the bus was willing to help and it finally took three people to get her on the bus. Once we got to Bratislava we were met by a local guide who spoke very low and monotone and it was very difficult to hear her unless you were standing right next to her and that wasn’t always possible with a group our size. There was a marathon that day and many of the streets were closed which seemed to confuse her in getting us around. She guided us through the old town for two hours and then left us on our own without our return catamaran tickets- we were told to pick up the tickets at the agency on the dock. If she advised that the agency was on the pier as you boarded the boat, I didn’t hear her since I couldn’t hear much of what she said. I wasn’t feeling well and decided to leave on an earlier boat and was in a bit of a rush to find my way to the dock. Fortunately I made it but wasted time looking for an agency on the dock since you could only see the office as you boarded. I don’t believe she gave us detailed information on how to find the ticket office and I feel we should have been given our return tickets and not had to allow extra time to find the office and pick them up. To be honest, I’m glad I saw Bratislava but I would have been better off going on my own as this tour gave me no advantage.

Worth a trip but not this one - Firstly, coach travel was comfortable and easy to find the guide etc. Definitely worth visiting the city for a day trip and Bratislava itself was friendly, cheap and had some nice cultural highlights and great views! The tour guide from this experience was awful, too many statistics and facts, no enthusiasm or engagement, she did not check to see if everyone was following and stopped at random points to share information not relevant to the setting. The tour was so bad, we left half way through to go and explore by ourselves. The boat ride was overrated, it’s just like public transport and not a cruise at all.

Seeing the old town was... - Seeing the old town was wonderful, and our guide was okay. However, the castle was disappointing as it was bare.
