5 stars seems too few! We had an absolutely amazing time with "Brad" as our tour guide and learned so much about Bratislava. He answered all of our questions, drove us around safely in a cool car, and even bought us some Slovakian cheese at the old market. I've done tours all over the world and this is truly one of the best I've ever experienced! DO NOT miss this in Bratislava!

Our guide Brian (Bratislava) was awsome. He took us to various historic places and told us stories with the aid of origonal pictures from the communist era . He worked hard to make it a very personalized tour with his humor and insights. He also had us try some snacks and soda unique to the area. Between everything, it really brought Bratislava to life. We later visited Old town historic area, but this was so much better. Thanks again!!!

One might think that Bratislava has not a lot to offer for a tourist, but Peter and his company proved it wrong for us. Peter showed us places we would never find on our own, he shared a lot of interesting stories about the city, the country and its history. Another great thing is that the tour is customizable so we could pick whatever was more interesting for us. The weather was not super good, raining, but it was one of the best tour experiences we had. We also visited a cozy local pub with local dishes and Peter brought some home made slivovica to warm myself. Highly recommended! When I visit the country again I would definitely go with Peter on another tour.

Really incredible tour, definitely worth doing. Our guide, Brano, was friendly, funny, and personable. We enjoyed hearing about his personal experiences growing up and living in Bratislava. We got to see lots of spots in Bratislava that we never would have seen otherwise and we found the buildings and history very interesting. We do not ever book tours when we are on vacation, but made an exception for this one, and we are very glad we did!

First of all I have to say that this company was super responsive when we contacted them prior to our tour with some questions and they got back to us within hours. They also offered to pick us up at our hotel ( which was not one of the normal pick up points) which was much appreciated. Our guide Brano was SUPER ! He was on time and went out of his way to explain what Bratislava was like during the communist time. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and funny. We visited many different places and the time flew !I can recommend this tour and this company whole heartedly. It was a great experience and we felt so well taken care of. The next time we go to Bratislava we will certainly book with Authentic Slovakia again. Thank you !!!!

Had a fun afternoon spent with Brano on the  Bratislava Post Communism Tour.  Learned a lot about sites and issues that you would never hear about on other tours.  Brano is a great communicator and very proud of his hometown and its history. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour to friends and family.

Our guide (sorry, can't remember his name) was very personable and very knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humor. We learned so much new information about the history of Slovakia and its neighbors and the impact of the various forms of government on daily life. His picture book and stories made it all very real. He drove us around the city and visited many interesting sites, some with incredible views. Highly recommended!

Our guide Brano presented us parts of the city and it‘s recent history in an extremely charming way and with a really good sense of humour. We enjoyed the insights into the recent history of Bratislava and Slovakia that Brano provided for us with a lot of enthusiasm. We really liked the idea of driving with a historical car from one historic place to the other. I strongly recommend this tour for anyone who is interested in the recent history of Slovakia.

I did the Post Communism tour. Maros was extremely passionate and knowledgable. He gave up even more of his time than stated in order to fit in as much as possible and dropped me at the station afterwards. He really went above and beyond and the tour itself was first class. Would highly recommend to anyone spending a day or more in Bratislava, it was the best thing I did by a mile

We were picked up by our guide Lukas appropriately in a little red Skoda car and were driven around various post Russian occupation/ Communist relics of that era. We visited prefabricated housing apartments erected cheaply and quickly by the Russian (a reference to Lego Land was mentioned), an assembly park where a recently renovated and rejuvenated fountain was again in operation, a national cultural monument & military cemetery located on a hill overlooking Bratislava and across into Austria across the Danube River, the Slovakia/Austrian border and saw one of the bunkers installed as preparation to repel the Nazi WWII occupation. Lukas was very insightful and informative in regards to his perspective of the Post-Communist era. So pleased we elected to do this tour.

We spent two nights in Bratislava en route Budapest from Prague. This was the perfect tour for our cathedral/castle weary brains. Our guide Maroš was terrific, really gracious and knowledgeable. We learned so much about the communist and post communist era, and about the region. The sites we visited were a thoughtful combination that well illustrated how the city and the people moved through the changes in regimes. And we got really great snacks!!

A fantastic tour. Braňo picked us up from the station in an 90’s red Skoda and gave us a great insight into the history of both Bratislava and Slovakia. Do not hesitate to book this. Thank you Braňo for a great experience!

Great journey through modern (and a fair amount of older) history. We learned so much and what we learned made us more interested in the region. Maros was a such a gracious host.

This tour was fantastic! It sounded interesting when I read about it and it completely exceeded my expectations. Brano was both knowledgeable and very engaging as a guide. I took my 13-year-old daughter with me and we both loved it. We had been in Vienna and so had heard a lot all week about the Habsburgs but most of that story really ended with the dissolution of the Empire after WWI. Brano's tour picked up a thread from that moment and brought us through the present day through the lens of the Slovakian experience. As an American, it was particularly interesting to hear the fall of communism in Eastern Europe narrated by someone of my generation who had lived through it. My daughter and I both learned a lot and had fun in the process. Fantastic tour!

We weren't sure what to do when we decided to add a day in Bratislava to a trip, but I'm SO glad we found this tour! We didn't know much about the history of the city and country when we first hopped into the 70s Škoda, and left it later feeling like we had all seen something really special that was going to stick with us. That Škoda was like a time machine. Brano was an excellent guide and made the tour a stand-out of not just Bratislava, but of our whole trip - super knowledgeable with lots of personal anecdotes, warm, endlessly patient with our relentless questions, and clearly very passionate about his city. Cannot recommend this tour enough; if you're not sure what to do when visiting Bratislava, it should 100% be this.
