    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.

    Melissa

    Asked on July 12th, 2024

    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?

    • Experience SlovakiaOperatorWritten July 2024

      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?

    Evelyn

    Asked on June 2nd, 2024

    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.

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Experience SlovakiaOperatorWritten June 2024

      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.
