Showed us all the major sites and also pointed out some interesting places and items we definitely would have missed. He gave us some hints and tips of what else to do and places to eat.

Great morning walk - Great way to learn and see the city. The walk up the hill took place early in the tour so we could then walk downhill as we were getting tired.

This was such a great... - This was such a great tour with our guide Samuel. He shared many stories about the history of Bratislava and Slovakia. Showed us around many highlights of the city and gave suggestions of things to do and places to eat while in Bratislava. A wonderful walking tour. He also does a few other tours and we were bummed to have to miss out on those as we were leaving Slovakia just after the tour ended.

Samuel was passionate,... - Samuel was passionate, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly. The tour was excellently paced and full of fascinating historical insight. Note that it is conducted in English and very history-focused, so it’s probably not the best fit for very young children.
