Perfect day! - Fully recommended. We were picked up at the Vienna hotel at the agreed time for the Bratislava tour. Everything was perfect. Our driver Daniel, friendly and attentive at all times, was explaining things to us throughout the journey. Already in Bratislava joined our guide, Daniela, equally very friendly and professional. Thank you both so much for making this excursion an unforgettable day!

Wonderful Excursion - What a wonderful excursion from Vienna! Our river and guide were both amazing and extremely knowledgeable about Slovakia and Bratislava! The tour hit all of the important sites outside of thenOld City by auto and then covered all of the. In the Old City by foot. Our guide did an excellent job of making the tour interesting and informative. She was also willing to answer any questions that we had and gave us some great recommendations for lunch and for shopping. Our driver was very prompt, very engaging and was willing to relay our departure for us so that we could shop a little more. We have taken many Viator tours and this has been our favorite by far!

Amazing Day! - We loved our tour by Daniella! She was thorough and focused on the culture and history of Bratislava. We had a great time touring the Bratislava Castle, driving around some parts of the old Soviet city and loving all the time we spent in old town. Daniella knows all the tips and tricks and had great recommendations for food and shopping as well. Daniel was our driver. He picked us up at our hotel and returned us all safely and with no incident. He's a great tour guide in his own right as well.

Good Experience - Our driver, Evan, picked up my family of four at our hotel on time. Evan was nice and professional, but only knew a few words of English. That did not matter to us. Our guide, Eva, also met us at our hotel. We were kind of surprised at this, as we thought she was going to meet us in Bratislava. (Not a negative, just an observation.) We had a 1.5-hr trip, and Eva asked us if we'd like her to start the talking part of the tour immediately, or wait until we got closer to Bratislava. We asked her to go ahead and start. So she talked all the way. When we arrived, we drove around for part of the tour, and then Evan dropped us off so we could begin our walking tour. This all went fine. After Eva left us, we had time on our own to eat, shop, walk around, before meeting up with Evan to load up and finish our journey to Vienna, ending up at our hotel. The door-to-door service was great. If I had any critique, I'd only say that Eva talked ALL THE TIME. while we enjoy a thorough tour, she never took a break, even when it might be appropriate to do so. I wanted to tell her to take a breath every now and then. This is a small knock, and I hope it doesn't deter someone from taking this tour, because overall, we were happy with everything. I guess when you're more of an introvert like me (and the rest of my family), it's just an adjustment to be around someone going 90 mph. Please understand this was just from our perspective, and it may be 100% what the next customer would want. Again, over all, this was solid, and we appreciated the work of both of the capable people who took care of us. It was also very nice to be picked up and dropped off at our hotel.
