Private Tours of Bratislava
Insightful, Offbeat Experiences with Local Guides
Why to choose our private tours of Bratislava?
Our private tours of Bratislava go beyond the ordinary under the skin of local urbanism, architecture and social life. Bratislava is the city where we were born and have lived our lives since. Despite for many, it is not a love at a first sight, it is an exciting city, if you take a look under the cover. We love its hidden corners and prefer going off-the-beaten-track.
If you also feel like leaving the tourist crowds in the Old town, our tours in Bratislava allow you to explore off-the-beaten-track locations facing its post-communist past. Bratislava is a thriving city in transformation. Former multicultural Preßburg/ Pozsony/ Prešporok has become “Bratislava” in 1919, experiencing unprecedented growth during the Cold War in Czechoslovakia and open to capitalism today.
