Traveler reviews
Excellent day in Bratislava A++++
An excellent day in Bratislava. The tour started on time, and the tour representative provided all the necessary information for the day. The guide in Bratislava was a local and was very knowledgeable about the site. The return trip on the catamaran was enjoyable.
Poor Communication when Catamaran portion of excursion was cancelled
The tour was okay, but not great. The worst part was that the catamaran was unable to sail, due to low water levels, but the tour participants were not notified of this until AFTER the tour was over. We were told by a representative of the tour company that we would get a refund on the catamaran part of the cruise, since that was the most expensive part of the excursion, but I haven't heard anything since. We were bussed back to Vienna, instead of sailing back. Please contact me re: when I can expect a refund for the difference between the cost of the catamaran portion of the excursion and the cost of the bus transportation provided.
Deeply disappointed
Deeply disappointed with this company. They sold us a boat trip when they knew the boat could not operate. They lied to us.
Good enough
The pick up from vienna was timely and instructions on how to return with the catamaran ferry were made clear. Unfortunately our guide for the walking tour was not good at all. We were told nothing about the history of bratislava, no anecdotes of any sights. We were told instead were to buy souvenirs and have hot chocolate. We were even told about a candy shot that you can find all over Europe. We pretty much ended up getting information from Gemini.
Antisemitic tour guide.
Unfortunately the walking tour guide was 30 minutes late picking up the tour group. She expressed upsetting antisemitic views and made inappropriate comments about three Jewish sites in Bratislava on the tour. It was convenient travelling by bus from Vienna to Bratislava and to have the return catamaran ticket pre-purchased. The sites in Bratislava were interesting historically and picturesque based on my solo walks.
