Guide was really knowledgeable but he was so fixated on delivering the content that I felt it was a history lesson

Went on this tour with my 17yr old nephew who was very interested in Slovakian history and architecture. Our tour guide Martin was outstanding! He listened to my nephew’s interests and catered to exactly to what he wanted. It was the highlight of his trip and is all he talks about. I’m pretty well travelled and have taken a lot of these tours, myself. I can easily say this was the most fun I’ve had on a tour ever! We learned a lot and had such a great time on top of that. Thank you so much Martin for giving my nephew what he’s calling the highlight of his life!!

Zuzana was an amazing guide who was extremely knowledgeable, she took us to places we would never have gone to. The tour was so informative giving us a real insight into what communism meant to the Bratislava people and scary to think this was during our lifetime. Zuzana never let us down and neither did the Skoda!!!! We would highly recommend this tour and want to thank Zuzana for making it a highlight of our stay in Bratislava.

This is definitely a different tour. We did a city tour separately as well and saw completely different things. Glad we did both. It was very interesting going to the border. Fun being in the old Skoda too.

We did not know what to expect! But we had a blast… Our driver was fantastic, and he was super knowledgeable and kept a great pace. He showed us places we would never have known about existing in Bratislava. Highly recommend this fun way to see the city.

Richard was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. We saw many parts of Bratislava we would not have otherwise seen, especially where the iron curtain was between Czechoslovakia and Austria. We also saw sites where uprisings and protests took place and memorials of those who fought for freedom. Riding in a vintage Skoda was icing on the cake. Overall a very interesting and fun experience that I would definitely recommend.

If you are at all interested in history and the transition a city/country made from a totalitarian regime to a democratic one, you will thoroughly enjoy this tour. Our guide, Branno was very knowledgeable, passionate and entertaining. He picked us up in a Soviet era car and proceeded to drive us to key locations from that period. He had a photo book that showed us major events that happened at the various places we visited. And he even brought snacks. Great value for the money.
