Tour description

On this tour you will explore the alternative, not so nice, history of Slovakia and Bratislava. During 50 years of the 20th century, we were a dictatorship. During the 2nd world war, the country of Slovakia was on the side of the axis, and after the war we became the eastern block, however both regimes hurt many people. We will visit the monuments, squares (Stalin Square, Gottwald Square), unique buildings (upside down pyramid), last standing synagogue and many more. (There is some reconstruction near the sites we visit, please keep this in mind)

Spaß am Erleben ist bei dieser Thematik ist eigentlich nicht wirklich möglich. Dennoch 5 Sterne, da man durch die Erzählungen in die Geschichte gut eintauchen konnte. Weiters gab es ein paar Funfacts.

Jacob is an amazing guide, who speaks English fluently. He has a depth of knowledge which he knows how to convey well. He was humorous, too. He had interesting pictures to enhance his presentation, and made sure we could had time to buy a cup of coffee half way through. One of the best tours we have ever had!
