Worth a visit!
Lovely cruise from Bratislava to Devin Castle... then a couple of hours to walk up to the castle, call into the hotel for coffee etc. Amazing views from the castle walls along the Danube and across the countryside.

Q
Cancelled
I had planned to do this trip, but for some reason which was not explained, the boat was cancelled. Instead we did the bridges cruise which, except of the view of the castle was underwhelming.

No ruse about the cruise!
Loved the gentle cruise along the famous river Danube, the craft was big and spacious, you also got plenty of time at the castle of which we got to the top!! And had time for a pint
Operator response

The old town is beautiful
Bratislava old town was beautiful, a very pretty place but you can see pretty much everything it has to offer in one day. We were so glad we split the break with 2 days in Vienna otherwise we would have got bored. That said, everything is within walking distance and there's lots of history. If you do go further afield, transport is very cheap. We went to a music gig in a nearby town which was the highlight of the trip.
Operator response
I hope you liked the cruise as well.

Don't buy it, I recommend
Don't buy. Basically she just went to the castle, the price is much higher than the ticket office on the spot.
Operator response
Buongiorno, i prezzi sono gli stessi online e alla biglietteria. Il nostro pacchetto completo include una crociera di un’ora e mezza fino al castello di Devín, una pausa di due ore e il viaggio di ritorno della durata di 30 minuti. È la nostra crociera più popolare, che operiamo da diversi anni, due volte al giorno, cinque giorni a settimana durante la stagione. È anche possibile acquistare un biglietto di sola andata, sia verso il castello che dal castello.

Is a basic "Transport", not a Tour!
Was very hard to find the boat? Almost missed. There is no ppl around to give info and locals dont speak english. "Written english" i bought but nothing was in english, no written, no verbal.
Operator response
We are working on an audio guided tour from next season on, for this season we have had SmartGuide app a digital guide. We will strive to have better instructions in English and better info panels for our passengers.

Nice boat ride
This is a nice way to see Paris from the river. Easy to take pictures of some of Paris’ most famous landmarks.
Operator response
We are Bratislava and we are happy you liked Bratislava during our cruise. However Paris is also spectacular.

Devin Castle
Check in, is at 10, at the office. Then you need to walk to the assigned boat, which you do not have previous notification of. So, allow extra time for it.
Operator response
Yes the Port in Bratislava especially in season is busy so we sometimes need to change boarding points. Therefore we say on ticket pl be ready to board 15 minuets ahead. Thank you for your patience and for your positive review.
