We were picked up on time at the Twin City Liner dock and transported further by bus. So many impressions: the castle, the confluence of the Danube and March rivers, excellent lunch, winery + wine tasting, and a long walk through the historic city… so much information… Martin has extensive knowledge and can tell wonderful stories. We really enjoyed it!
A wonderful full day trip from Bratislava. Martin took us to see historic towns & villages and was even able to include an additional stop I had requested. A great day all-in-all!
This tour in Bratislava was an absolute highlight of our trip. The views were breathtaking and offered fantastic photo opportunities across the city. What really made the experience special was the guide’s very interesting and engaging commentary — full of history, local insights, and fun facts that kept us hooked the entire time. Everything was well organized and relaxed, making it easy to enjoy every moment. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bratislava. Thank you! :-)
Mr. Sloboda has us with his nice, personable and competent manner the city brought closer to my mother. The history of the city was brought across by him in an understandable, cheerful and never boring way. Also the tour at the castle and through the old town was just great. Her Sloboda is the best guide we've ever had We can only recommend him
Martin was fantastic. He is so knowledgeable and informative. It was the best tour I have taken. I would highly recommend it.
Martin Sloboda is an absolute gem of a tour guide; as someone who has been on business to Bratislava on several occasions, I can personally attest that of my 3 guided tours, Martin was far and above the best. All at once comprehensive yet well-paced, scholarly and historical but not loquacious. I would not hesitate to recommend Martin - you don't want to miss out!
Excellent guided wine tasting and cultural experience tour. Martin is an expert in wine, history, gastronomy and rhe culrure of Slovakia and we learnt a lot on our tour. Highly recommended.
Martin was fantastic! He gave excellent information and gave us a wonderful overview of both old and new Bratislava as well as some of the areas beyond the city. All in all a truly wonderful and very memorable experience.
The walking tour of Bratislava’s old town with Eva was amazing. She was very well versed in both history and architecture. We especially appreciated her showing us unique places and locations. A great experience.
We loved the visit guided by Martin.We laughed a lot when we heard the legends accompanied by his great sympathy.An unforgettable experience.Thank you Martin!!!!7
