What people are saying about Bratislava Region

This was such a lovely experience! I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to learn about/taste some really high quality wines. We didn't get any bread or snacks but it was still a great experience. We took 2 buses from the airport to get out to Modra but it was absolutely worth it!

Thanks to Milan for being a great guide. We had a great time learning about the history of Bratislava and say many things we would not have found ourselves. We very much appreciated Milan’s enthusiasm, sense of humour and great historical knowledge. A very enjoyable tour! Thanks Milan!

Ms Lubica was a very knowledgeable guide and we thank her for skill and ability to translate. We had a 2hour tour and with only 6 in our group easily covered it in 1.5hours. Overall we felt there was less to see in Bratislava than we expected but the tour was enjoyable.

Best choice for getting to know the city in one day. Our tour guide Milin was very friendly, funny and knowledgeable. We got to see some “hidden” places too!

Great guide! Learned so much in the hour and was able to become more acclimated with the downtown portion. 10/10 would recommend
