Travel Tips From Real Locals - Like A Local City Guide

Highlight of our stay!

The Happy Dog Forest Hike was an incredible way to spend a few hours away from the city! We really enjoyed meeting all the dogs in the shelter and getting to know the ones we took on the hike with us. Erich was a fantastic guide and I would recommend this hike to anyone visiting Bratislava. Despite the thunderstorm, 5/5 stars!

Great way to see the past!

A great tour if you have a spare half day to get some exercise and explore the past. A small and personal tour, with knowledgeable friendly guide. We thoroughly enjoyed this opportunity to explore the Slovakian countryside and see ruins in their 'natural' state.

Carpathian Castle Ruins Tour from Bratislava

Highlight of our holiday. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

Whether you're a dog lover, a trekking enthusiast, or just want to get a good local knowledge of Bratislava, Erich and his Dog walk tick all the boxes. From the very start we felt extremely welcome as Erich was incredibly friendly and very approachable. The trek itself was picturesque and the dogs were very happy and eager to get going and were delighted to be around us with no resistance to us walking them. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Bratislava and we will definitely be back in the future.

Great experience!!

We had a great time! Erich is a very nice person and he took us around the forest for hiking with the dogs. We saw amazing places and he explained to us about the surroundings. If you love dogs and nature you should definatly go!

Great tour, feel you’re helping the dogs

I loved this tour, it was the highlight of my trip to Bratislava. Erich was extremely knowledgable about so many topics. You could see the dogs were well looked after at the shelter despite awaiting their forever homes. The staff at the shelter make sure that you take out dogs who haven’t had a walk that day. This was a great tour I would recommend to anyone visiting Bratislava.

Great experience !

This was a great experience to be a part of. It made the dogs very happy, which made us very happy. I wish that there was a more functional way about getting to the dog shelter. One of us had to sit in the back of the van with no seats. Other than that is was such a fun day. They were very accommodating to our requests which was nice :)

Happy Dog Forest Hike in Bratislava

Highlight of my trip

We love outdoor walks/hikes and dogs, and if you do too this is probably for you. Bratislava is a lovely city to visit, but if you want to see a small bit of the forest side of Slovakia (apparently 40% of Slovakia is forest!) and help give some shelter dogs their much needed daily walk this is a fantastic idea. Erich is also a very friendly and knowledgeable guy and made it really worthwhile. Thank you so much!!

Sustainable tourism at its best.

See the beautiful green side of Bratislava, help a local charity shelter, and make a new little friend while you're at it. Nothings better than seeing happy dogs, so me and my partner jumped at this opportunity. Even though we were off season, the forests were calming and serene, and Erich was helpful and flexible for our arrival while also being friendly and knowledgeable during the walk. Would strongly recommend for anyone who is remotely active or likes animals.

If you love cheese, this is the perfect tour.

Nothing is worse than being hungry in a country you can't speak the language, which is why this tour is perfect. Erich is a very knowledgeable local guide who shows you around the markets, answers your questions on all things Bratislava and Slovakia, and treats you to local delicacie; from cheeses and meats to local brandies and blackcurrant wine. Perfect opportunity to live like a local and have an authentic meal.

A Fun Challenge, Worth Your Time!

We were a party of five, with one pre-teen daughter. This was the fourth escape room I have completed in my life, and this proved to be an excellent challenge of the mind. Fairly intricate and involved as far as clues go, it challenged us, and we escaped with an additional five extra minutes. The introduction and greeting from the staff was pleasant, professional, and exciting. After our escape, the thoughtful staff female took time to answer our questions, take pictures of us, and did not rush us out. This was by far the most challenging and difficult room I have done. Very close to Michael's Gate in the Old City of Bratislava, it is easy to access and locate. The next time I come to Bratislava I would definitely like to try the city escape that they offer, which is around a three hour outdoor challenge. Great place! Come on out and try!

Delightful Slovak cuisine

Met with Daniela outside the Opera House and she took us around the main city of Bratislava go in through the back streets and finding all the coolest restaurants and bars. We will a small group and we tried so much food and so much different variety it was amazing and I was completely full for the evening. I would definitely recommend as Daniela is a great Guide born and bred in the city and can tell you about the history of the city as well. Perfect tour can't thank you enough.

Nice Overview of Slovak Wines

My wife and I had this tour in December, and had a great time learning about Slovak wines. Our guide, Eva, provided us with historical and factual information, and worked well with the sommelier of the wine bar that we went to.

Bratislava Wine Tasting Tour

A friend and I signed up for the wine tasting tour and Daniela was our guide. It turned out to be a private tour which was a pleasant surprise and the experience was wonderful! We tried a variety of wines from Slovakia (sparking, white and red) at one location (along with some delicious cheese) and then a blackcurrant wine with local pastries at a second location in the Old Town and honey wine (as well as a bunch of flavored honeys) in an adorable honey shop at a third location. Daniela was very knowledgeable about the wines/vineyard regions and we learned a ton (ask her about Slovakian Christmas traditions, we got a kick out of that one!) - we even got to try Marie Antoinette's mother's favorite wine! 100% recommended, we loved this tasting and had a great time.

Excellent!!!

We recently went on the City Wine Tour, with the wonderful Daniela as our guide. It was an outstanding afternoon and I cannot recommend it more highly! Daniela took us on a walk through the city to a hidden gem of a wine bar/cellar, where we tried some of the incredible local sparkling, white, rose and red wines.The sommelier was very knowledgeable and Daniela translated for us into English for each of the wines. Absolutely fascinating to hear about all the local producers stories. All of the wines were good and some were incredible! If we had not been travelling with hand luggage only, I would happily have bought a case of at least 3 of the ones we tried. In addition to the wines there was a plentiful plate of gorgeous local cheeses to enjoy. After we were nicely marinaded, we were taken back to the old town to try the local pastries, fruit wine and honey wines to round the trip off. Our guide was very helpful and gave us lots of local knowledge and tips about what to see and do, and even better, where to eat. Fantastic, good value trip and a brilliant guide, an absolute must for a weekend in Bratislava.

Wine tasting, brilliant

Besides being very generous with the wine (I am sure this wasn't the only reason I enjoyed it) it was relaxed and personal. One of the best experiences I have had in Europe and a great way to see Bratislava. Loved it
