“Our guide Slavka was wonderful! We had a great visit to Bratislava. It was truly the perfect day trip from Vienna for an easier trip and more relaxed day than some of the farther places like the lakes region or Budapest. Someone local had told us it would be just as good to get to Bratislava by train and walk around on our own. I’m SO glad we didn’t listen and did the tour. It would have been completely different on our own. Much better with Slavka!”

“Norbert was the best! From the moment we got into the car in Vienna, he was a blast. And pointed out some interesting facts about the history of the Austria and its relationship with Slovakia. I wish he was our tour guide in Bratislava. The guide we met, Suzanna, was nice and knew a lot about the old town area. She suggested we take an old trolley tour to the castle. This was not included in the tour and made the walking tour with local guide 2 hours only. My mother does have limited mobility so I was happy that she was mindful of the pace of the walking tour.…”
