What To Expect

Muzeum Radenov Dom

The typical village ČIČMANY surrounded by the mountains Strážovské vrchy and Malá Fatra in the southern part of the valley Rajecká dolina is famous for its original log houses with the typical white ornamentation. The unique and characteristic element of log houses in Čičmany are their exteriors ornamented in geometrical pattern. The authors of ornaments, as rule, were women who originally adorned only the corners of houses first with mud and later with lime. However, since the 19th century the motifs were added and painted all over exteriors of not plastered log houses. The painting was intended to protect the logs against the effect of sunrays. Geometrical ornamentation was also used in embroidery applied to garments, pictures or tablecloths. The Reserve counts 136 houses.

We had a great day on this tour. Our driver was waiting at our hotel to take us to the train station and our tour guide was waiting on the platform when we arrived in Žilina. The 4 stops on the tour were all enjoyable, it was wonderful to get information and history of Slovakia from our guide as we drove between the locations. A driver was waiting us in Bratislava to return us to our hotel following the return train journey. I would thoroughly recommend this tour.

Loved the spa. However, the reminder of what to bring only mentions Swimsuit. I thought the spa would provide ro es and towels with the ticket but they don't and so anyone booking on should be notified they need a Towel also. The overall experience was good although I found the tour guide a little boring in his delivery of the historical and cultural information. It would be beneficial if he could be more engaging and enthusiastic. Lovely guy tho! The lunch was really good! Enjoyed the traditional slovak meal and the ambience. I would offer people an opportunity for shopping at the end or the tour. I felt quite tired and relaxed after the tour and wasn't really enthralled by more talk and walking around the city.
What A Special Day!

Amazing trip! Our tour guide, Andrej was waiting promptly for us at the Zilina train station, and he truly customized the tour to our liking. My mom and I enjoyed every part of the day, from exploring the tiny village of Cicmany, to the Thermal Bath. It was a very special day. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Bratislava.
Excellent value for money

I booked this trip for my parents and no doubt they enjoyed the trip max. The tour guide made sure they reach places safely and took good care of them. They covered so many lovely places. Its was worth the money and tour guide was very accommodating. I will surely book this trip again for my other family who will be down for holidays soon later.
