Free Tour del Siglo XX: La Historia Oscura (Bratislava)

We enjoyed this tour about 20th century very much. The guide was local and knowledgable. He was eager to answer all our questions.

This tour was extremely interesting and I learned so many new things. When writing a text about it for Polarsteps (travel diary/blog) I had to think really hard what to leave out to not write a complete book. At the end of the tour we all received a small paper with a lot of tips from Jakub about what to do in Bratislava and some of those places I would have for sure missed. Thanks Jakub!

This was an incredibly concise exploration of a massive topic. Everyone who comes through Bratislava should experience the tour, especially with the world events we're currently seeing.

Sehr informativ und spannend

Brilliant tour. It really grounded me into Slovakia, giving a sense of shape of the city along with events that led to the fall of the communist regime. Kristina really bought the impact of communism on the people to life, and it was useful to get context to some of the places I had wondered past the previous day. She is very knowledgeable and did a fine job of explaining how the Communist era impacted on Slovaks lives. Her explanation of the events prior to, during and after the Velvet Revolution were clear and easy to follow. It is an excellent way to see a different side to the city. Personally, I found it a timely and moving reminder of the threat to civil society from those who seek to systemically dismantle democracy.
