5What a varied and awesome experience!
We had a wonderful experience with our guide Daniela. She was so accommodating. We were on a river cruise with Viking and she met us at the boat. We had a great variety of food and wine and beer. We ate certainly more than we needed! She brought the food to us at each place and we felt so special. I love the variety of places from Bratislava. I can't say enough awesome things about this tour. Loved it!
5Enjoyable Tour and an Amazing Guide
We had an exceptional food tour with Daniella in Bratislava. There were several factors that made this such a positive experience for us. First there was the food tour itself which provided a variety of tastings that allowed us to experience a range of foods and beverages in a diversity of settings that Daniella skillfully linked to various aspects of Slovakian culture. She also effortlessly folded in references to key historical facts that greatly enhanced the presentation of the foods/beverages that were presented. The tour is well balanced, interesting, delicious and informative. But even more than this, we appreciated Daniella so much because our time in Bratislava was truly brief. We were on a train coming from Vienna and we had about 4 hours in Bratislava before having to catch our next train to Budapest. It was very tight and made all the tighter but the fact that our train from Vienna was delayed. This should have tanked our tour but Daniella worked quickly to arrange for a private driver to pick us up and bring as back to the train station which not only saved us critical time but it also allowed us to keep our bags safely during the tour. She literally saved our day and made it possible for us to have this tour during our brief window of time in Bratislava. We highly recommend this tour and Daniella as you will have the benefit of a very enjoyable experience that lets you experience various kinds of Slovakian cuisine while learning interesting historical and cultural facts from a guide who is skillful, knowledgable, kind, and extremely resourceful.
5Thoroughly Enjoyable Food Tour from an Amazing Guide
We had an exceptional food tour with Daniella in Bratislava. There were several factors that made this such a positive experience for us. First there was just the food tour itself which provided a variety of tastings that allowed us to experience a range of foods and beverages in a diversity of settings that Daniella skillfully linked to various aspects of Slovakian culture. At the same time she effortlessly folded in references to key historical facts that greatly enhanced the presentation of the foods/beverages that were presented. The tour is well balanced, interesting, delicious and informative. But even more than this, we appreciated Daniella so much because out time in Bratislava as truly brief we were on a train coming from Vienna and we had about 4 hours in Bratislava before having to catch our nest train to Budapest. It was very tighter and made all the tighter but the fat our train from Vienna was delayed. This should have tanked our tour but Daniella worked quickly to arrange for a private driver to pick us up and bring as back to the train station which now only saved critical time but it also allowed us to keep our bags safely during the tour. She literally saved our day and made it possible for us to have this tour during our brief window of time in Bratislava. Thus, in totally, we highly recommend this tour and Daniella. With both you will have a very enjoyable experience where you get to experience various kinds of Slovakian cuisine while learning interesting historical and cultural facts for a guide who is skillful, knowledgable, kind and extremely resourceful.
5Bratislava food walking tour
We enjoyed our food walking tour of Bratislava. Our local guide, Sylvia, was passionate about Slovakia, knowledgeable and so friendly. While we walked from place to place she shared the history of Bratislava and Slovakia, and what it’s like to live in this beautiful country. Sylvia took us to places that we would never have come across ourselves. A warning - don’t eat breakfast before this tour! We enjoyed potato bread with sheep cheese spread, and crackling spread, had a delicious lunch of roast duck breast, potato pancake and more in a former monastery, sampled the Pressburg bajgel etc, before sitting in a atmospheric bar with cold drinks. Thankyou Sylvia for most enjoyable tour!

About Bratislava
Bratislava is Slovakia's capital on the Danube, a small city of a hilltop castle, a pedestrian old town, quirky statues and vineyards close by.
Bratislava lies on both banks of the Danube close to the Austrian and Hungarian borders, about an hour from Vienna. Its castle, a white four-towered building on a ridge, looks over the river and the old town below. The pedestrian old town has pastel baroque palaces, the Michael's Gate tower, and St Martin's Cathedral, where Hungarian kings were crowned from the 16th to the 19th century, when Pozsony, as it was then known, was the Hungarian capital.
Top-ranked sights in Bratislava: Bratislava Castle (Bratislavsky Hrad), Bratislava Old Town (Stare Mesto), Slavín.
