Great views of the city
Lovely tour around the streets and history of Bratislava up to the castle where there is just enough time to walk around and see the views across the city.

Great little tour to meet Bratislava without getting bored
Great little tour to see Bratislava City centre and the castle and to make a few great pictures. Perfect for those who get bored with proper sightseeing. My husband and I loved it.
