Great way to explore Bratislava! - The transfer from Vienna to Bratislava was smooth and comfortable, taking around 40 minutes by bus. Upon arrival in Bratislava, our group was divided between two local guides. My guide was knowledgeable, paced, and had a good sense of humor, though her straight-faced delivery might not suit everyone; I personally enjoyed it. Our group started with 27 people, but only 8 of us completed the walking tour, as many, including my mother, opted to leave partway through. I appreciated the tour's relaxed nature, which allowed participants the freedom to continue the tour or spend the day at a café. The tour concluded around noon, providing ample time for independent exploration of the city in the afternoon. For me, this combination of a historic walking tour and free time was ideal. The day concluded with a delightful boat ride, offering a perfect ending to a long but rewarding day in Bratislava.

Summer heat - Excursion to Bratislava was ok. City is nice but the weather was really hot when we went there. Tour guide is very knowledgeable. Most of the shops has no AC. Bring fan and water for hydration.

Good trip - It was a great trip but rather too long in Bratislava, maybe because it was 30+°. A very interesting place and well worth the visit, the river trip back was also good.

Disappointing trip - The bus was only for transport. Disappointing trip. The guide met us in Bratislava. Short walking tour. I didn't learn much. Free time was too long for a small place.

Not worth a full day - We were really looking forward to this tour, but overall disappointed with the experience. The catamaran was certainly nice, but we didn’t need a tour for that. Bratislava is a beautiful and unique city, however the tour guide was hard to understand and with a teen family, the free time was too much. We also were charged more for taking an earlier boat return to Vienna.

Book Transportation Yourself and Save - The bus, boat and walking tour were great, the day is just too long for the small town, especially on a Tuesday when most things are closed. I would take boat over in the AM and train back when ready. Plenty of local walking tours for tips. You would probably cut the price in half and shorten your day and not be bored.

No good service - In the bus was no information what we should expect in bratislava. On arrival in bratislava the toilet visit was to dirty to describe. The start was chaotic. We paid a little bit too much coins for this daytrip compared with the service we got. That is such a pitty.It is a nice old town.
