Dear friends, my name is Juraj and I am a historian, a mountaineer as well as a certified tourist guide offering private tours in Bratislava, Trnava and Central Slovakia. I have been guiding tourists for more than seven years and I love the job. Cultural tourism is my main focus, however, I also offer various general tours in towns. Moreover, I love good wine, so I can take you to some really beautiful old wine cellars. I lived in Bratislava for more than 12 years, where I studied at the University and did my PhD. When not doing research in libraries, you could find me wandering through the old town cobbled streets, exploring surrounding lush forests or canoeing on the Danube. Currently, I live in Trnava, a lovely medieval town just half an hour drive from Bratislava. We could go for a walking tour or for a half-day/full-day trip to discover rich history of this small yet splendid country in the heart of Europe. My credentials: - certified tourist guide - certified Bratislava Castle guide - MA in History - PhD in Late Antique/Early Medieval History - first aid course Few explanations: - due to legal regulations I cannot guide on the trails in National Parks and in the mountains - 90% of my tours through ToursByLocals are tailor-made, so do not hesitate to contact me and ask for a tour that fits your interests - my clients are well-educated and curious travellers who ask many questions and I find it incredibly pleasant to listen to your question and interests, so our tour could take 30 minutes more than is written on the page. I do not charge extra money for that half an hour. Quite often we end up in a cafe and continue our discussions after the tour. Looking forward to seeing you in Slovakia.

Wonderful day trip! We took the train back and forth from Vienna. Our guide took us all around. Lunch was a in a wonderful spot in the countryside with excellent food. Took us to one of the oldest cafes in Bratislava (excellent espresso!) while providing us behind the scene stories about the history of the city. If you are looking for a day trip from Vienna, this is it!
A quick look at the culture and architecture of Bratislava, Juraj is knowledgeable and convivial.
Unfortunately the weather was cold and rainy during most of the tour which impacted some of the planned activities. That said, our group enjoyed traveling in the countryside and sampling local food and drinks. Juraj was an interesting and personable guide who did his best to help us enjoy the tour despite the bad weather
