Bratislava Old Town
The first part of the tour is designed as a walk through the old town, during which we enter the historical zone through the Vydrica gate and leave it through the St. Michael’s gate. We will mainly focus on historical contexts and gastronomy in a popular and entertaining way.

Sebastian is the best!

5.00Our family of four - 2 adults and 2 older teens, thoroughly enjoyed our private walking tour with Sebastian. Not only did we learn about the beautiful and historic sights along the tour, but Sebastian is a genuinely kind person who loves working with people. At the start of the tour he talked with us about what we would like to see and hear, and along the tour he answered all of our questions. Do you want to hear about old history, more recent history, or a combination of both? Any specific things you want to know about? Sebastian will tailor the tour to each group's interests. We were interested in local food, so he even made a stop for us at Pressburg Bajgel where we tried the local Bratislava pastries and a Kofola drink. Before departing, he gave us some recommendations on what we could do with the rest of our day. It was a great tour, 10/10 recommend!
A fulfilling excursion!

5.00We had a very small group today, which made for a very interactive discussion. Sebastian was a good guide and covered history, culture, and architectural aspects of Bratislava very well in our time together. I really did enjoy his recommendations to try different types of foods that are local, from meals to candy and drinks. It shows his love for the area and its history and he was not just reciting a set dialog. Highly recommended thorough tour.
Pleasant but scant on local history.

3.00The tour did not meet our expectations. Sebastian was kind and pleasant but we would have preferred more information about the history of the city and its people. There were many recommendations for local eateries, and some discussion around the similarities of local countries languages, and many stops at statues/sculptures - however the insight into the history of Bratislava was scant. However, with many hi deeds of 5 star reviews perhaps it is just us who would prefer a different style.
