I'm curious if there's any flexibility to the start date? We have a group but we couldn't start till the afternoon of the 4th of October. Does this include any lodging?

You can start the tour in the afternoon of 4th October. As you are coming in 4 people, you can actually decide your start date. Please have a look at our website Experience Slovakia, we are offering there more tours, hikes, vitising historical places, wine tasting, etc. If you would be interested in any of these, let us know, and we can build an itinerary according to your interest, especially for you. Could you let us know where you will be arriving at?

Is there any private tour you could offer me to try to see bears/wolves - even an overnight tour. I will not have my own transport and I don't want to leave my son for 4 days on the bear tour you offer.

Normally the tour we offer is for a minimum of 2 people. However, on special requests we also do private tours for one person. For the bear watching tour we have an exclusive bear watching guide who charges 400 euros per day regardless if there is one person or 8 people in the tour. Wouldn't you and your son be interested in doing a 4 day tour, or even a shorter tour with the bear watching included? Perhaps, it would be cheaper for you per day (a longer tour) in comparison to one day tour only.

Is the accommodation included? Is the tour guide included or would this be a self-guided adventure? Is this trip suitable for children and families?

What is included in this trip is: accommodation with breakfast, the accredited tour guide for the whole trip, parking fees, transport. The trip is suitable for children from 10 years old. If the parents want to do the bear watching tour and the children are to young to join them, we offer an alternative for the children while the parents are having the day trip.

Tour guides were very nice and friendly with excellent knowledge about the region and selected tours were well chosen and adapted to our level. Accommodation was quite simple, breakfast not so good (and not too healthy for hikers) in a small village - which was authentic on the one side but if you have no car, it is a bit more difficult to move around in the later afternoon/evening. All in all an experience I don't want to miss.

Amazing 4 day trip with Experience Slovakia. Our accommodation was lovely. Beautiful view of the Tatras. Jan drove us each day to different locations. We enjoy nature and history and both exceeded our expectations. Jan is a careful driver. Very kind and a great sense of humour. Shame we weren't able to spend more time there.
