Unique, memorable and brilliant tour

Peter (our guide/driver/entrepreneur/founder) was so friendly and informative going above and beyond to explain to us the history of his city with personal stories which bring things to life and in the present while understanding the past.
Really good

We booked this tour because we wanted to do something a bit different and had a particular interest in the communist era and it’s aftermath.
We know from experience that you learn so much more by having a tour guide so decided to book. We saw places in and around Bratislava that we wouldn’t have ordinarily got to see on a city break. Our guide (Maroš) was friendly and informative.
Highly recommend for those that prefer something a bit more interactive and unusual.
Thanks Maroš!

Learned so much. Our guide was so good, very knowledgeable, fun friendly. Can't say enough about how interesting this was, gave a new perspective on life after communism from a person who actually Lived in this era. Car was awesome- made everything authentic. Places we toured were unexpected and so interesting. Definitely recommend.

Informative insight into a fascinating country.

Met our guide at a central pick up point. Driving around in a personal vintage Skoda was good fun, much more so than a mass tourist bus/tram. Our Guide was incredibly knowledgeable & very willing to share insight into his country's history. Russian Cemetery should not be missed & the trip out to the Iron Curtain museum was very interesting. If you really want to come away feeling like you've learnt & experienced some history, then this is the tour for you!
A MUST do for all Kapitalists

Of the many tours I've taken this was the most genuine and real (with no stop at the cousin/state owned gift shop, either!) Robert and his co guide took us and another couple in two great old cars to several sites around the city and to the old border. The personal details and insight really brought the past to life. From where the last person was killed trying to escape to the giant state run grocery store they showed us what life was really like. Imagine getting a banana once or twice a year (if you were good!) SO glad we did this.

This was the coolest tour we went on going down the Danube River. It helped us really understand the history of Slovakia and other countries surrounding it. Juro is awesome, intelligent and knows so much history about post soviet era and parts of their revolution from the USSR. Very unique!

My Post Communism Tour was the highlight of my recently short Bratislava visit. I would like to compliment whoever conceived the idea of the tour, as well as the selection of the sites the tour covers. I would like to especially praise my guide, Robert, for a job well done. His passion and energy made the trip doubly enjoyable. I am myself a tour guide with 40 years' experience, and am thoroughly familiar with the tour's subject matter, although never having been to Bratislava. Robert handled this old and very demanding client with aplomb and tact. Way to go, Robert! For whoever is interested in 20th century history, I recommend the tour wholeheartedly. Ron P, Jerusalem

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
