The meeting place location was perfect for toilets. Our guide Elka was lovely, very solicitors and knowledgeable. Only 8 people on our tour so able to hear Elka perfectly.

A good tour from Vienna, well organised with plenty of free time afterward - This tour requires you to make your way to Bratislava, but detailed instructions and bus tickets are provided. We met our guide, Suzanne, and made our way through the old town. The hour long tour gave us the tools to decide what we wanted to do ourselves after the included lunch. The restaurant where Suzanne to us to, was a couple of minutes from the old town and we enjoyed our 2 course meal. We chose to add wine and dessert. Plenty of time to explore

Best day trip ever - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our tour from Vienna to Bratislava was nothing short of amazing. From the start, the tour operator was extremely professional—tickets and clear instructions were sent timeously, and everything was very easy to follow. The meeting point was clearly described and effortless to find. Our tour guide, Daria, was exceptional—very knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about Slovakian history. We truly enjoyed learning about Slovakia and Bratislava as a whole. The lunch provided was also awesome and a lovely addition to the experience. A special mention to Katarina, who responded to all our queries with impressive speed and efficiency. This is hands down the best tour we have ever booked on Viator. Highly recommended—we thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this trip!

Good but not completely sure - See this is good experience but be keep in mind that till you receive actual tickets , its not automatically your journey is booked. In my case though I paid to & fro Bratislava bus fare but since I didn’t receive bst code , I had to pay for return bus ride, although it was included in the package.

Absolute waste of money and frankly also time! - Not worth the money at all!! If you’re in Vienna you’re better off booking the bus for €10 and exploring the tiny town yourself! The guide was okay but there was no food for me as a vegetarian. The restaurant they take you to is a tourist scam. I ended up leaving and buying my food elsewhere and there’s much better options to explore in the town
