Fantastic afternoon in and around Bratislava
Apr 2023 • Friends
We had a great tour with Brano in his Skoda. We really enjoyed the way he included more personal and local anecdotes with some parts of the history of the city. The accompanying photo book was also interesting! Definitely recommended if you’d like to see beyond the old town of Bratislava!

Michal, a guide with Authentic Slovakia, took us on an excellent tour around Bratislava - he was very knowledgeable and made the history of his country both fascinating and entertaining. I would highly recommend him. Also, in the run-up to our trip, Authentic Slovakia was very responsive in getting back to us quickly and coming up with recommendations beyond the tour eg for restaurants, etc.

We had a trip with Marek today and it was absolutely fantastic! Very informative, humorous and with a super combination of many sights and details.
If you’re in Bratislava, please make sure you book this trip - it is 100% worth it. Highlight of our three days here!

Great tour and information regarding communist times
Jul 2022
Our tour to Devin castle was a highlight of our vacation. We had made changes to our trip and the company was very flexible. Our guide was open and full of information. He was also very tolerant and responsive to our children. I highly recommend this company.

Excellent Tour, by a fantastic company
Loved this tour so much. Everything about it was great, from initial communications when booking tbe tour, to actually being out and about. We were on a tour in a mixed group, all who were completely lovely and it was loads of fun in the skoda van! We learned loads. Brano was an excellent host, good humoured and it was so kind that he brought drinks and snacks for our group when we visited Slavin. We want to come back to Bratislava again and will definitely book another tour through these guys when we do.

Authentically Authentic!!!!
Jul 2011 • Friends
Authentic Slovakia is managed by two very Authentic Slovakian brothers - Peter and Brano - who do a top notch job of showing you Authentic Slovakia - not to mention also Hungary and Czech Republic.

I originally engaged them to provide transportation for the four of us from Tihany on Lake Balaton, Hungary to Bratislava, Slovakia; and then from Bratislava to Cesky Krumlov, Czech Republic.

However, I got much more than a qualified driver and vehicle! I got experienced and very knowledgeable tour guides that knew the region, the history, the people and the places of interest. And then, if they did not know the answer, they were very quick to get on their smartphone and get the answer.

In addition to the original services mentioned above, I also used them for a most enjoyable and rewarding tour of Bratislava and the immediate area.

I was fortunate to experience the service of both brothers and each was top notch. In addition to outstanding tour services each made the day more enjoyable with their personalities.

What started as 4 days simply getting from point A - to point B turned out to be the best 4 days of our 34 day holiday.

I highly recommend contacting Authentic Slovakia for any of your travel requirements to Slovakia and its neighbors. http://www.authenticslovakia.com/

One of the best tours I've ever been on!
Jan 2019
I've taken tours in over 50 countries and this was by far one of the best I have ever been on. I saw that this tour was recently ranked as one of the top tours in the world and I couldn't agree more! Coming from a country that has recently become obsessed with socialism, this was one of the most insightful tours with guides that spoke from experience living under Communism. Our guide gave us great information about the Communist era, the post-Communist era, and the current politics of Slovakia. From riding in a Skoda to drinking a famous drink from the Communist days, this is a unique experience I'll never forget!

Second time doing this tour! Really worth it
These guys are simply really great! Once again they book a tour for me last minute :) I had done this tour last year, but I was again in town with family and decided to do it. Guide was Robert: smart, good English and entertaining. I noticed they added some new sites which made the tour kind of new for me. I liked the personal touches they do like having a local beer and the communist waffles. Thanks again guys. Wish you the best in business

Fantastic informative tour
This tour was great. Our guide Maroš was very informative and gave us lots of knowledge about life under communism and how it ended.

The tour covered lots of sights including the Slavin war memorial, and the area where the iron curtain was at the edge of the city.

Great trip, and would recommend to anyone visiting the city

Fantastic tour
We booked the post communism tour as a group of 4 friends spending New year in Bratislava. We were overwhelmed by just how good this tour was. Our guide Maric took us round the city and over to Austrian boarder in an old VW van and showed us areas of the city and its history we would not have seen without the tour. It was fun and informative and I can't recommend this tour enough. Big thanks to Maric for a memorable morning.
