Sebastian is awesome

Knowledgeable and interesting!

Jan Haskings · September 2026

Friendly and interesting

It was a great pleasure to learn about Bratislava from Sebastian. During 3 howers walking you get so many informations about this relaxed city and you can ask Sebastian what ever you want. So this tour is also a possibility to get in contact with a local person who introduce you in the spirit of his town.

Andrea Kuempel · September 2026

The best Walking Tour in Bratislava, without exception.

Sebastian is a true ambassador for the beautiful city of Bratislava. Not only did we learn about its long, fascinating history, but we also visited many of the less touristy places in the Old Town that locals frequent for outstanding food, wine, and amazing baked goods. Thanks again for your amazing insights and knowledge.

Walking Sebastian

The guided tour in Bratislava with Sebastian was a real pleasure. He could answer all our questions and the 2 1/2h passed very quickly. I can really recommend this tour.
