A great adventure - Overall, it was a very nice trip; we toured a large part of Slovakia. The castles and churches I visited were very beautiful, with excellent views, as was the lake. Our driver and guide, Roman, did the best he could to ensure we had a great experience despite the cold and the limited time, and overall he was excellent at his job. > On the negative side were the very cold weather (the trip took place on New Year’s Eve), the fact that we were rushing in order to see everything, and the many hours spent in the car. > On the positive side were Roman and everything else.

Great Nature and History Experience - If you want to experience nature and history of Slovakia outside of Bratislava, this is a perfect tour. It takes you to village, castle, mountain and lake. Our Tour Guide Michael was fantastic and knowledgeable. He takes care of every details.

Very good experience with Maria! - I had the pleasure of traveling with Maria, who was very friendly throughout. He took us to Orava Castle, the High Tatras, Čičmany and the town and castle of Trenčin. In addition, at each point visited we were giving more information about the places we were visiting. Fully recommended!

I’d go again - Great way to spend a day away from the city. The Slovak countryside almost looks too perfect. You almost feel like if you keep walking towards it, you’ll hit a painted background. Had a great lunch at a log cabin, and saw a very old village. Great time.

What an amazing... - What an amazing experience! Jan, our guide and driver, was super friendly and knowledgeable. Our trip varied slightly from the original plan where we visited a different castle to the one listed in the tour, however it turned out to be great and it actually allowed us to make it to the High Tatras sooner and spend more time, before the sun set. Many thanks to Jan for a wonderful day and I look forward to my next visit to Slovakia :) Dakujem

Don’t book - Booked trip as advertised 8am departure, check email 7:30 the morning of the trip pick up was changed to 06:20 and even then you are supposed to be ready 10 min. How can you book a trip and they turn up 2 hours before the advertised start time.

Disappointing day out in Slovakia - I didn't visit any of the sites listed, one due to bad weather which can't be helped but the other two were closed on the day. There was no notice of this in advance and so the tour guide had to make up the itinerary, which was difficult because most options were closed. The guide was amazing and did all they could to make the best of a bad situation. They were left without any help from the operator throughout the day and so it was a really disappointing trip but mainly because the tour operator were neglectful with their communication and unsurprisingly silent when it comes to seeking a refund. This was a significant part of my stay in Slovakia and I can't help but feel let down by them as an organisation.

Scandalous! The guides... - Scandalous! The guides changed the entire program of the excursion, without asking the participants for consent. We did not visit Bojnice Castle (even from outside) or Čičmany. They took us to the lake but instead of staying 3 hours, as written in the program, we were only half an hour. This is because they had the brilliant idea to take us on a trek (not planned) in the morning, which lasted longer than expected because the zip line we had to take was closed for maintenance (the guides had not inquired). So we had to do the ascent on foot, 40 minutes uphill to get to the top station of the zip line and then another 30 minutes to get to the final destination, along stony and muddy paths without suitable clothing or shoes. Some of the people in the group were not well trained enough and had to stop halfway. We returned to the transfer at 16 and arrived at the lake at 16.30. I find it absurd that until 4.30 pm we had not yet visited anything that was written in the program. The lake was beautiful, I would have liked to stay longer. Then on the way back they took us to a UNESCO heritage village, really nice and special. Too bad that the sun had already set and you could not even take some nice pictures. I came home really unhappy and disappointed. I had chosen this excursion mainly to visit the castle and Čičmany, because in the mountains I already go there every year in Italy. 120 euros to go trekking I would never have spent it and I am considering asking for a refund.
