Four Hour Walking Tour of Bratislava
We highly recommend considering this tour as a nice introduction to Bratislava. We did it in mid December as part of a Christmas Market vacation that included Vienna, Bratislava and Budapest, and the tour was a nice way to get to know more about the city prior to heading out on our own later that evening. Our tour guide Martin met us at our hotel and made us feel comfortable that the tour could be tailored to meet our needs and interests - for example ducking in places in Old Town to warm-up and pacing ourselves on the walk up to Bratislava Castle.

Outstanding Walking Tour of the City of Bratislava, Slovakia
Peter Blazicek of Best Slovakia Tours took 12 of us good friends on a city walking tour of Bratislava. Peter gave us a comprehensive historical explanation of Bratislava's 1000 years of this city's importance in the country of Slovakia and its connection to Europe. Bratislava is strategically located on the Danube River. Bratislava's history dates back to the 5th and 6th century AD. Bratislava was the Slavic Empire of the country's largest city. Peter also explained how Bratislava became the capital of the First Slovak Republic in 1939. We walked from the lower portion of the city to the castle which was built in the 9th century. This castle sits a top a hill above the Danube and provides a marvelous view of the city. Eleven kings and eight queens were crowned in Bratislava. The old town has a Gothic architecture and was built in the 14th century. Our tour ended at a traditional authentic Koliba restaurant; Peter showed us what to order on the menu. Debbie / USA

Great tour with a local!
We had a great walking tour of Bratislava with Peter. He was knowledgeable, fun, showed us the sights, and explained the food in the Christmas markets which we sampled to our delight. Peter was not only informative, but flexible. We would recommend him without reservation! Kathleen

100% Great!
I highly recommend Best Slovakia Tours. They were extremely professional, with amazing communications prior to our visit. Peter was everything you could ask for in a tour guide: knowledgable, courteous, and engaging. Although we only had time for the four-hour tour of Bratislava, we would definitely use this tour company for other trips. Thank you, Peter! Heather

Excellent, Enchanting Tour of Bratislava
The name says it all! Best Slovakia Tours! Peter was a perfect guide! While he toured us through Bratislava, his lovely little-big capital, he provided history and details about the sights and moved at a very comfortable pace. I highly recommend this tour when visiting Bratislava you don't want to miss out on the details that are provided which help secure your memories of this truly wonderful gem of a capital! My hope is to return again and book a tour that includes more of Slovakia as Peter and Bratislava made me want to see more! Lisa

Charming City, Fantastic Guide
Peter was a fantastic guide, and I heartily recommend Best Slovakia Tours. The whole family had a wonderful time walking the streets of Bratislava with Peter, and he did a great job of explaining things that kept my children (8 and 6) engaged throughout. I was little bit concerned about whether it was the right time to bring my family to Slovakia with COVID and the war in Ukraine. We came from Vienna for the day, and the logistics and organization went off without a hitch. Bratislava is a charming city, and Peter ensured we saw all the major sites. We felt safe and well looked after throughout. I would definitely use Best Slovakia Tours again in the future! Chris

Beyond Amazing!
I could not recommend Best Slovakia Tours and Peter enough! We spent one night in Bratislava on our way from Vienna to Budapest, and Peter was outstanding from start to finish. We were a group of 10 with 4 adults and 6 children. Traveling with children can be tough to begin with, but Peter made it all so simple. He organized wonderful transportation that picked us up at our hotel and itinerary that made the most of our short time in Bratislava. We saw both Bratislava and Devin Castles, we did a wonderful walking tour of the old town and he made arrangements for a perfect lunch stop for our large group. He also was so wonderful with the children. He is simply the best! We will definitely use him again next time we are traveling in the area! Thank you!! Justine

TOLLE FÜHRUNG IN UND UM BRATISLAVA
Nach dreijähriger Pause sind wir wieder einmal nach Bratislava gereist und haben erneut die wertvollen Dienste von Best Slovakia Tours in Anspruch genommen. Der Chef persönlich, der immer gut gelaunte und freundliche Peter, hat uns die Sehenswürdigkeiten in um Bratislava sowie die aktuellsten Trends im Land näher gebracht. Besonders interessant waren seine Ausführungen zur Geschichte, zur wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung des Landes sowie zum Lebensalltag der Leute. Vielen Dank Peter für diese spannenden Stunden.
