I met our guide at Tourist Info Wien (right off the U1 line at Karlsplatz stop). He explained a lot of helpful history to us on the ride over and then had us watch a short documentary of the concentration camp on iPads in the van which was very wise. We got to Mauthausen with a greater and more In-depth understanding of what took place there which made our visit more meaningful. When we arrived we were given audio guides and a map and allowed to wander the camp and it’s museum on our own for a few hours before reconvening. It was pretty desolate aside from a few school groups visiting. Our tour guide was great and even drove us down into the granite quarry so that we could see it up close. We went to lunch at a nice but casual sit down restaurant that served Austrian cuisine. Overall worth the money and I highly recommend this tour.

We never got to take the day trip to Austria tour we prepaid for last summer due to the pandemic. Sure it would’ve been nice. I was, however, frustrated about the refund policy! Not only was the company a stickler about not giving us a full refund (though it was not our choice to cancel), they would only issue the refund through Pay Pal which charged us an additional international fee! What a rip off! Very disappointed at their overall lack of flexibility. Consumer beware!!

The guide was very friendly and answered all of the tour's questions. She was very knowledgeable about Bratislava's history and recommended some traditional food as well as a few local cafes and restaurants (we followed her guide and we loved the food, of course). The driver was also outgoing and seemed interested in Malta's culture, cuisine and lifestyle. We also had a change to stop by the palace on the other side of the road to see the beauty of Bratislava from a panoramic vantage point. I recommend spending 20-25 minutes here to take some photos. Overall I highly recommend this day trip if you have a free day in Vienna. You will probably feel quite tired after the excursion, so you can ask the driver to drop you by Stadpark for a superb end to your day. FYI: The driver will pick you up at your accomodation and will drop you off wherever you want in Vienna (which is a bonus). Thank you to the organizers and all of the staff involved!

We booked a private Bratislava City Walk tour. It was a very interesting tour about the history of Bratislava / Slovakia and our tour guide Daniela showed us the sights within the old town center. Getting to know more about the coronation era was a highlight for me. Afterwards she gave us advice what else we could do in Bratislava. With our lovely and knowledgeable guide Daniela the two hours were flying by. Thank you.

My husband and I did the small group tour of Bratislava with Super Tours. We were picked up from our hotel by a very nice driver who also gave us some background of Bratislava during the drive. Once in Bratislava, we met some more in the group and Jana was our tour guide. I did not know much about Slovakia before the tour, but we learned a lot of the history as well as current state. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and the personal insights that Jana provided (for example, life under communism and how the fall of the Berlin wall impacted the country). I highly recommend the tour for anyone with an interest in something a little different than Vienna. We were back by dinnertime so were able to still enjoy Vienna at night.
