Dear travelers, let me show you Bratislava historical and charming, modern and panoramic, bordering three countries and guide you around Slovakia with its historic towns and villages, imposing castles and fortresses, traditional crafts, glorious mining history and hot springs, peaceful and picturesque countryside. I was born and raised in Bratislava during the times of Communism and the Iron Curtain and have lived in the border city all my life, therefore have witnessed all the changes that the capital of the Slovak Republic has undergone in recent times. With my grandparents and parents I used to speak Slovak, German and Hungarian and they encouraged me to learn foreign languages. While student I obtained the official licences and started working as a tourist guide for Bratislava and Slovakia. After the private business in my country was allowed I had become independent and had started my own way from guiding tourist to establish Incoming Travel Agency. I have years of experience and a big passion for the job. I guide professionally and drive responsibly. I am passionate about sharing my profound knowledge of architecture, history, and art. I have in-depth familiarity with life in Bratislava and Slovakia in general. I possess good knowledge of the most exciting places and best restaurants. I offer tailor-made, charming tours in comfort using my modern van. All my tours are suitable for private shore excursions for Danube-cruise passengers. I will pick you up and drop you off at the Bratislava passenger port, situated directly in the city centre. Choose a walking tour in the Old Town, accessible on foot from the boat, or a trip to several places of interest. I love Bratislava and Slovakia truly and deeply and I am looking forward to welcoming you to my city and country.

We will experience the moving history and the present times of Bratislava by starting in the compact pedestrian zone of the very charming Old Town at the St. Martin's Cathedral. We end the walking part of the tour by Opera House and the Slovak Philharmonic Hall. Then we continue by car up the Slavin Hill and Bratislava Castle Hill for the gorgeous views of the city. Together we will discover the imperial history of Bratislava and Slovak republic. Driving to the Presidential Palace, Blue Church, the Radio Pyramid, on to the western suburbs of Bratislava, to the historic Devin district. The high rock together with Danube and Morava rivers have been the perfect protection for ancient Celts, Romans and our Slavic ancestors. After the citadel visit we will walk to the Iron Curtain Memorial located under the Castle rock built on the place not accessible for us in the times before 1989. Finally, a tasting of local red currant wines in the historic village of Devin is the top experience of the day.

Fun and comprehensive tour. Covered a lot of territory and information. Blanka was the perfect local guide, having grown up in Bratislava.
This was a fairly expensive private tour, but it was worth it. We got a glimpse of the historic centre of Bratislava, went up to the Bratislava Castle and then went to the Devin Castle - that alone was worth the trip. Blanca was a good guide, albeit a little bit subdued. We have had other guides in other parts of the world with much more enthusiasm.
Blanka is an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and informative. We had a wonderful day in Bratislava with her. I highly recommend this tour.
We had a very nice tour with Blanka in Bratislava. The Austrian weather created many difficulties for us in our attempt to get to Bratislava from Vienna, and Blanka was patient and adaptable and really went out of her way to make sure we were able to do our tour. Due to the circumstances, our tour was a bit shorter than we anticipated, but Blanka was able to show us many of the city highlights as we walked and drove around the charming city. We also appreciated Blanka’s honesty in answering the questions we posed to her. All in all, we spent several pleasant hours with Blanka and would recommend her highly to those visiting Bratislava.
Our tour of Bratislava with Blanka was amazing, far exceeded all our expectations. This was our first trip to Bratislava and she made us feel right at home and made our experience very personal. Her overall knowledge of history is impressive and her "tips" of the things to see after our tour and where to go, was very helpful. We highly recommend her. Thank you Blanka for the fantastic day!
