“Fantastic Bratislava Tour with Jakub – Highly Recommend!”
Jakub was a fantastic guide who made our tour of Bratislava really enjoyable! He was super knowledgeable and passionate about the city, sharing a lot of interesting history and fun facts along the way. He gave us a detailed paper full of useful info, which was a nice touch. The tour was well-paced, and he took us to some great hidden spots we wouldn’t have found on our own. Overall, Jakub is a great guide who gave us a great experience. I’d definitely recommend his tour!

“Fun and Informative ”
Despite the weather, going out on the tour was worth it. Jakub is an amazing guide, who is not only chock full of historical information but is also fully prepared with visual aids that I've not encountered in any walking tours we've been on before. He is also more than willing to share and is quite effective selling us on his own personal preferences when it comes to food and drink. In my opinion, these restaurants should have an affiliate program with him.
This tour and Jakub the guide are highly recommended!

Marek has a good speaking voice and he did what a lot of tour guides skip: making the time for the participants to introduce him/herself to the group. The tour was pretty comprehensive for an introduction to Bratislava and as someone who had plans to leave the city immediately after the tour, I was disappointed that I was not able to try out his recommendations.
