Guided Bratislava old town plus a high-speed Danube return from Vienna, with optional oldtimer ride to the castle.
“It was a good day trip. Bus was nice and very good communication. Bratislava is a beautiful city very worth going to.”
Take a Bratislava to Devín Castle Danube cruise with indoor or outdoor seating, plus 2 hours to explore the castle ruins.
“The way to and from Devin castle was great, we had enough time to feel the breeze and take pictures along the way. (Be aware that the way to the castle takes much longer because it's going against the stream.) There was enough time to see everything on the castle grounds.”
Fully electric hop-on hop-off bus plus river cruise and UFO tower access in Bratislava, with audio guide, Bluetooth headsets, and water included.
“Highly recommend taking this tour of Bratislava! We booked this last minute on our travel to the city and it worked out perfectly. Our guide was Peter and we rode with him throughout the whole tour. He was very helpful in accommodating our early arrival and even helped us figure out how to pay for parking to avoid a ticket! He offered us blankets to keep warm on the ride and took some group pictures for us at a few of the stops. Highly recommended checking this out for a local, personalized tour of the city and highlyyyy recommend Peter as your guide.”
45-minute Danube panorama cruise in Bratislava with unlimited Prosecco, Castle and SNP Bridge views, and easy meet at P-40.
“Very enjoyable. Although quite short, it suited our plans very well. We were also very happy at receiving a phone call to advise of a pontoon change. Well organised and would do it again.”
A Sunday brunch Danube cruise in Bratislava with a buffet, Castle views, and family animator on board for about 3 hours.
“The cruise was lovely but very short. It wasn’t quite as described in the blurb. Most of the 4 hours was docked at the quay for the buffet. Then the boat went up for 20 minutes turned and went the other way and turned. Lovely food however I was expecting a two/three hour cruise with a small amount of food. Really good but please explain in blurb. I can’t eat very much and would have booked a longer cruise and left out the buffet if I could have.”
Half-day Danube cruise from Bratislava with big river views, a long Devin Castle stop, and time for photos and pints at the water.
“Check in, is at 10, at the office. Then you need to walk to the assigned boat, which you do not have previous notification of. So, allow extra time for it.”
Danube cruise from Bratislava to Hainburg with Devín Castle views, 5-hour stop for historic sights and cafes, then sail back.
Private 1-hour Danube cruise in Bratislava with beer or prosecco, panoramic landmarks from the water, and an optional fresh draft upgrade.
“Beautiful day to be on the Danube viewing the city sights with Captain Sam. We had a great time and would recommend to other visitors looking for a peaceful boat ride.”
4-hour Danube boat trip from central Bratislava to Devin Castle with currant wine tasting, admission, and a small-group guide.
“Guide was fantastic and very knowledgable. The thing that let it down was the supposed wine tasting, this consisted of two tiny plastic cough medicine cups from a stall at the bottom of the castle in a car park.”
Danube boat roundtrip from Bratislava to Gabčíkovo waterworks, crossing lock chambers and watching automated fills, with comfy decks.
The castles, the cellars, the ridge and the river.
