Sensational tour with an excellent guide - First I would like to give my heartfelt thanks to Michael, he was fantastic and went above and beyond in his role which is extremely rare in this day and age and added on an extra stop to compensate for the change in the itinerary due to one castle which was not accessible on the day which meant instead of the 12 hours he worked over time as we arrived just after midnight to ensure that we had all seen the beauty Slovakia has to offer. On top of that, I accidentally left my hat in the car and he dropped it off for me at the hotel in his own private time, which was extremely kind of him and just a wonderful gesture and professionalism that reflects his positive attitude and genuine interest in the work he does. He is such a great asset to your company, I must admit. Such a fantastic tour and one of my favourites so far, highly recommended.

Day Trip - We visited 3 castles and Bojnice Castle is truly stunning. Trencin is a charming city with plenty of shops and cafes in the city center. Our guide Michael is wonderful and knowledgeable.

Fabulous Experience - It was a wonderful experience to explore the gems of Slovakia. Our tour guide, Michal H. was really helpful and knowledgeable, always ready to share historical insights and stories which brought the place we went to life. The wine tasting was a good way to end the day. Highly recommended for anyone looking to discover Slovakia!

Great day in Slovakia! - We had a lot of fun. We enjoyed not just the facts, but the interesting stories were extra special. Michael, our tour guide was excellent and treated all of us as if we were someone special. He was funny , a professional and spoke perfect English. Loved this tour and would suggest this tour to all. We had a small group of seven and quickly became friends.

Trip from hell! - Most horrible experience ever! We were crammed in a van with two other parties that were booked for different tours! To try and accommodate all the different itineraries they tried to combine into one tour. We got one thing on our tour and spent hours on the bus! We left at 730 am and got back to hotel at midnight with 13 hours on the bus. No lunch or dinner till 6 pm! The only good thing was our poor guide, George, who tried so hard! We

Trip with 0 planning and consideration for its travellers - It’s a terrible trip, squashed into a mini van and with no space to stretch your legs for 14 hours. Itinerary shown was not followed and no guided tour was given as promised. We were brought to a hike which was never included in the itinerary that wasted 1/2 the day away. Then to a very far off castle in the north with no guided tour and dropped off for lunch. By the time we finished lunch it was already 2.30-3pm. We drove a long way to the next destination to see another castle and a s statue on the way with wine and that was almost 7pm. By the time we reach the cicmany village it was 8.30pm and it was so dark we can’t really see much. Trecin was skipped and so were the beckov castle. I have no idea what the tour was about and what the people planning had in mind?! It was absolutely atrocious and tormenting for us being squeezed in that small space for 14-15h. Please don’t join this tour, no history no explanation no nothing given. There’s no need to travel so far to see a castle, the Devin castle is more than enough.

Terrible experience - Vehicle: 10 times worse than sitting in a middle seat of a low cost airline. Guide: Couldn't hear single word that she said while on the vehicle. Itenary: The guide asked to show us what's said in our booking and then she was trying to figure out what to do. Eventually it was two castles and small village. Summary: All the glowing reviews are based on a particular guide I suppose. This was totally a disappointing and complete waste of time and money.
