Bratislava Excursão de um dia de Viena com Catamarã Cruzeiro no Danúbio

Overall it was an interesting trip, with much to see enroute along the way via coach and by boat along the Danube River. Our guide in Bratislava, Maria, was very patient and provided our group with much history and unique perspectives on Slovakia and Bratislava in particular. At times it wasn’t always easy to hear her given the surroundings, but she was happy to repeat explanations. Likewise, the Oldtimer bus tour to Bratislava Castle was most informative and a relaxing way to see the city. The only downside to the day was that the Vienna tour organiser just met us at the departure point then left us in the hands of the driver who either didn’t know where we were to be dropped off, or simply didn’t care. As a consequence, we spent nearly an hour milling around the drop off point trying to connect up with our guides. We eventually connected with the guides but by then, some in our group went off and did their own thing. My advice is for anyone taking part in this tour, ensure you have the Vienna based organisers’ contact number, should matters not work out as expected.

This was a perfect day trip to enjoy Bratislava. This tour allowed me to experience a new city and new country from Vienna versus actually staying there. It was perfect!

A pleasant and efficient way to take in Bratislava. We left promptly from Opera house in a small bus and made it without issue. I enjoyed the Austrian countryside with the wind turbine field and just at border noted the collection of drab Communist era buildings. There was no guide or commentary on the bus. A Slovak native guide met us and guided us around through the old city. She gave a lot of history. She showed us how to upgrade the tour with a tram ride to the castle and also how to leave on an earlier boat back to Vienna. After her time was over, we had lunch, went in a few stores, enjoyed pastry and coffee at an historic Konditorei and decided to take the early boat back. If you want to delve deeper there are museums and galleries and plenty of time to see them in the extra 3 hours. The trip back was pleasant, air conditioned and calm. Refreshments available for purchase. Dropped us off close to subway station. Vienna public transportation is wonderful! Only issue- our group of maybe 12 were all English speaking except for 2 who spoke German. So she had to say everything twice, which took time. I also think her German was more fluent. Her accent, quieter voice and ambient noise made it a little difficult to hear. I believe her explanations may have been a little more full in German. But all in all a good day and a chance to get a glimpse into the country.

Bratislava is a quaint town. Our guide did a wonderful job explaining the history of the country. We loved the gelato.

The tour itself was good. The guide gave all the relevant information that we needed for the return boat trip to Vienna. One major issue of concern was the minibus trip to Bratislava. There were approximately 25 passengers aboard and it was 25 C outside. No windows open despite there being a roof skylight which was also closed. The trip was about 1 hr 30 mins and when a passenger shouted at the driver to turn on the air conditioning ,he then realised the driver could not hear ANYONE because he was wearing earbuds. Poor show. Otherwise very enjoyable

Taking a day trip from Vienna to Bratislava is definitely worth doing. The old city center is great and full of good historical restaurants. The castle has a great museum with artifacts dating back to the Romans and earlier. City Hall also has a very good city history museum. Our local city guide was knowledgeable and pleasant. The only issue we had was that the return catamaran trip was cancelled, but a bus was provided instead.

The tour information does not state that that only one way of the trip is by boat .. the trip from Vienna to Bratislava was by coach . The information was misleading on email received.

Was what it stated. An easy bus ride to Bratislava. No commentary but relaxing. Bruna was a great guide for the walking tour. Very informative - lots of history and perspectives. Very enjoyable. Finished at 11.40 am and we took a tram tour up to castle - 16 euros - was ok and saw rest of town - would have like to see Blue Church on the tour but saw it ourselves. Took an earlier catamaran back to Vienna for 10 euros extra. Didn’t want to wait till 6.30pm and get back at 8pm. Ideally a 4pm return would have been ideal. Loved boat journey back

The tour guide was difficult to understand and did not share much information about Bratislava. I do not recommend this tour. The tour of the city was finished by 11:30am and there was not much more to see after that, so we paid 10 Euros per person to change our catamaran tickets to the 2:30 pm return to Vienna instead of the 6:30 pm included with the tour. Bratislava was nice, but again, very small for a whole day tour.

Beautiful mountain city , guide Mr Evan was knowledgeable and funny and walking tour was enjoyable. Took a palace tour in the sight seeing coach from the opera and it was helpful in visiting the castle. The return journey by the twin city liner was amazing though we preponed it to 2.30pm for getting a little extra time in Vienna.
