Fantastic tour
Fantastic tour with beautiful views, excellent wines, and very friendly and knowledgeable guides. Everything was smooth and well organized, and the winetasting felt authentic and welcoming. We especially enjoyed learning about the local wine traditions and exploring the area around Modra. A perfect day trip and definitely worth booking!

Knowledgeable Host, Great Experience!
Peter was an amazing host. He knew a lot about the history of Bratislava, Slovakia and Eastern Europe. He also spoke fluent English which was an added bonus. We would all highly recommend Peter as a tour guide, regardless of what kind of tour you’re looking for. 10/10

GREAT 2 DAYS :)
Punctual, patient and above all very pleasant to be around. Peter is amazing and speaks perfect English. Definitely could keep up with us lot which is sometimes challenging for other tour guides, as we do chatter a lot.
Great restaurant choices, pleasant drives, and great choices of day trips. We enjoyed every minute.

Dear Stephanie and family,
thank you very much for your kind words. I was very happy I could show you a bit of Slovakia (Devin castle & Small Carpathian region - of course with wine tasting) as well as a bit of Austria (famous Wachau valley and of course - the typical white wines).
Your group was amazing and I enjoyed both days very much.
Thank you for booking with us and we'll be happy to assist you anytime in the future.
We can discover more of Slovakia and/or neighboring countries or even more - such as Italy, Germany etc.
Happy & Safe Travel!
