Knowledgeable guide and 10/10 experience! - There's always a possibility that you won't see any bears as they are free to roam wherever they please in their natural environment. Thanks to the knowledge of our guide Stefan, we luckily did see a bear! We had the opportunity to watch it comfortably for quite a while, the bear even made a failed attempt to chase some deer. Stefan knows a lot about the bears and the area itself, he basically climbed all the peaks there! He is a very friendly and open guide, and easy to understand and communicate with in English. Would definitely recommend to take a bear watching hike with him and would also do it again if we would visit Slovakia in the future.

Bearwatching accompanied by excellent guide! - After booking quick contact. Information what to bring and where we would meet. Everything went very smoothly. Booked for trip from 1pm to 9pm. Beautiful varied hike through a mooe gorge. Because of the warmth, the bears did not show themselves but because of the knowledge and tenacity of guide Stefan, bears were eventually spotted. Stefan is a walking bear encyclopedia; he really knows a lot and conveys this in a pleasant way. Highly recommended and would go out with him again.

We saw bears - Our guide took plenty of time to wait with us for the bears. He tailored the tour to our needs (our fitness level, our level of confidence, and where we preferred to see bears). Overall, it was a successful tour. He even modified the tour because the bears were taking their time to appear. Thanks

Overpriced - The tour goes about 7km each way. The guide is nice and friendly. He also explains a lot about this in understandable English. The cost is way too high, so three out of five. In six hours, a mother with her cubs, as well as an isolated bear could be seen. All not visible to the naked eye. You really need binoculars provided by the organizer.
