Bratislava Guided Sightseeing Overview
There are different ways to learn about Bratislava's past and present. Here you can find an overview of the different kinds of guided and self-guided tours of Bratislava available.
Minibus/Bus/Minitrain Tours
-- Scheduled minibus tours (from SKK 1150 (EUR 35.95) per person) - additional 5% discount if you reserve through us!
Scheduled minibus Bratislava tours offer packaged tours of the city and its surroundings. Currently, three types of scheduled minibus tours are on offer, all in the English language:
Scheduled Tour A - Discover Bratislava - Tuesdays-Fridays 9:30 am, Saturdays at 1:30 pm and Sundays at 11 am leaving from opposite the Opera House
Scheduled Tour B - Little Carpathians Tour - Saturdays and Sundays at 9 am from the city centre
Scheduled Tour C - Communist Bratislava - Mondays at 11 am from the city centre
-- Custom minibus/bus tours (from SKK 5000 (EUR 156.31) per group, vehicle hire additional)
If the scheduled time does not suit you or your group, you prefer a language other than English or wish to assemble your own tour in Bratislava and vicinity according to your prefferences, you can order a custom Bratislava tour from one of our highly qualified partners. Various sizes of vehicles are available for hire or you can use your own car or bus. The tour will begin when and where you wish.
-- Minitrain Tours
Two operators presently offer tours of the city by charming red mini-trains. The Presporacik, a bio-fuel powered vehicle traveling at a leisurely pace, is available for hire in the Main Square from 9 am to 5 pm for half-hour and full-hour tours around the Old Town. The Presporacik operates around the Old Town in any weather with tours in English, German, Spanish, Italian, French, Slovak, Japanese and Dutch.

Is it true that sightseeing without a guide is a criminal offense? http://www.budapesttimes.hu/index.php?art=1887
[ADMIN: As far as we know, it is not, although the incident in the article is mostly objectively described. Bratislava City authorities were not fond of the incident and regretted what had happened.]

We are planning to visit Bratislava with our family. We will have 8 family members.
Are we going to be arrested and taken to the ploce station for several hours if we do not pay for a professional guide, but use our guide books?
