Bratislava Itineraries

Csilla was superb! So knowledgeable and friendly. A great guide on a brilliant trip. A good mix of mini bus travel and train, which gave us a view of local culture and real people. Lots of castles!

I found this trip enjoyable but repetitive. Lots of castles etc so depending on your preferences it could be amazing or a bit much. Not many arranged activities, more a choose your own adventure which could be great or bad depending on the individual/group. Team leader Csilla is beyond amazing and certainly gave us as much information as she could regarding activities.

All the planned locations, activities, hotels excellent merited 5 stars in terms of my expectations for an Explore trip. However, the arrangements for internal transport to and from train stations etc was extremely poor. Taxis, arranged at the last minute, did not have the capacity for the group and our luggage needing two trips instead of one and wasting valuable time. We also had to pay for the taxis on one occasion and there was no suggestion in the trip notes that this would be the case.
I understand the sustainability aspect of travelling by train and support this. It should have been made even clearer in the trip notes just how much changing and lifting would be required as many of our group were unable to handle their own luggage easily on and off trains with high steps.

Well designed trip - we were able to get a sense of all 3 capitals we stayed in - we went a few days early and stayed on a couple of days after trip finished, which is what I'd advise if you have time.

Our guide was good and small group worked pretty well.

We used the HappyCow app to find veg eateries in all the places where we stayed - there were plenty.
