Hi, I´m Jakub (James, יעקב, Jacob, Giacomo...), you can call me Jimi. I´m one of the few people who can call themself "starý Prešporák" (Bratislava old settler). Since I was young my hobbies were history, psychology, philosophy and examining the perception of society and its development. That´s why I started doing tours almost 10 years ago, while I was still in high school. If you want to learn something about antiquity, middle ages and the modern history of Bratislava/Slovakia I´m here for you.
