2H Private Tour with Jakub
Description
Hi, I´m Jakub (James, יעקב, Jacob, Giacomo...), you can call me Jimi. I´m one of the few people who can call themself "starý Prešporák" (Bratislava old settler). Since I was young my hobbies were history, psychology, philosophy and examining the perception of society and its development. That´s why I started doing tours almost 10 years ago, while I was still in high school. If you want to learn something about antiquity, middle ages and the modern history of Bratislava/Slovakia I´m here for you.

We went on a free walking tour with Jakub around Bratislava at 15.00 which lasted just over 2 hours. Jakub took us through a lot of the history of the city ending at the castle. We also visited key spots in the city such as the man at work, Napoleon cannonballs, UFO and had key recommendations provided at the end. It was well paced, had comfort break halfway through and Jakub was a brilliant, knowledgeable and experienced guide who showed a genuine passion for the city.
Thank you, for your kind words :)
Excellent experience. I warmly recommend Jakub for a private tour at Devin Castle.
Thanks Daniela!
Jakub was very personable and knowledgeable about Slovakian history and culture. Beautiful city views from Castle Hill.
Thank you!
This is not an ordinary walking tour that you get in other European cities. (Did few before) A tour with Jakub is like a tour with an old friend you haven't seen in years. I was worried that two hours would drag on and an hour would have been more than enough, but in the end, the almost two and a half hours went by incredibly quickly (thanks for the extra time). I learned a cross-section of city's history, art, culture, and the current state as well. At the very end of my tour we also tasted a fantastic homemade beer in a traditional Slovak pub. I took away many great memories from my three days in Bratislava, but the part with Jakub was definitely the best. Your tour is an absolute ace. Thanks mate! 🙏🏼
Thank you Mark! I´m trully happy, that you´ve enjoyed the tour and the beautiful city of Bratislava. Hope to see you soon!
Private walking tour with Jakub was an absolute highlight of my time in Bratislava. He shared fascinating stories and insights about the city sights with such depth and passion that the city truly came alive during the two hours we booked. His professionalism and attentiveness made the whole experience really smooth and enjoyable. At the same time, he kept the atmosphere fun and engaging, which made learning about Bratislava hidden gems even more memorable. Worth every euro spent. I’d highly recommend him to anyone wanting to explore the city in an enjoyable way! Many thanks Jakub! :)
It is always a pleasure, to show all the things I love about Bratislava to someone so passionate about history and interesting facts! It was very nice to meet you. Enjoy the rest of your European trip!
This tour with Jakub was great fun. He has deep knowledge of the city’s history as well as that of Slovakia. He was patient, attentive, and even took some great photos for me. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience the main highlights of the city in just two hours. Jakub truly knows the best spots.
I'm glad to hear, that you enjoyed the tour and the spectacular views Bratislava has to offer. Safe travels!
Jacob is a lovely chap. He was clearly looking forward to giving us a tour and kindly offered to reschedule when I called to say my husband was travel sick and we had to cancel. Unfortunately we only had very limited time in Bratislava but if we get the chance to return Jakob is no 1 choice.
Thank you! I'm very sorry that circumstances prevented us from exploring the city together. But be sure to contact me next time you're in Bratislava so we can fix it!
One of the best tours I have ever experienced! Jakub loves Bratislava and its history and he knows all the interesting fun facts. If you are looking for a funny, passionate and professional guide, he is the right one. We were in Bratislava with my husband only for a short time, but we’ve seen all the interesting places and got insider tips for best coffee in town. Thank you Jakub!
Thank you for your kind words! I´m glad that we were able to make the most of the little time you had in Bratislava
