5.00Maya made the tour absolutely fantastic. It was a bit of a challenging day as they had to adjust the itinerary and it was a lot of time driving. However Maya was fantastic she was always upbeat happy and very funny. She had such a long day I was very sorry for her. She provided wine chocolates the famous Kofola and other drinks too. It was because of her the day was very good.

5.00This was an incredible tour. Our tour guide, Michal, was not only incredibly willing to drive all day in an 18 hour tour around the Slovakian countryside, but also was a really engaging and friendly tour guide. The structure of the tour, being a small group in a Mercedes minivan, was superb - everyone bonded very well over the course of the day, which further improved the experience. I was surprised by the unexpected natural beauty of the Slovakian countryside, and will 100% be coming back to explore this beautiful country more.
See a side of Slovakia that you will remember forever!

5.00I cannot put into words just how amazing this excursion was! It was everything I was hoping for and more! Our tour guide Michal was beyond amazing - he was super friendly, well prepared, had great insights, took us to the best spots that only a native would know about, brought amazing wine for us to try along the route, and was just so kind. He even helped my mother walk up and down hikes. A true gentleman! I left this tour feeling like I was able to experience so much more of Slovakia than I would have exploring on my own. The transportation was so comfortable and it was a smooth transition from town to town. I have so many highlights from this beautiful tour that I will never forget - but some are the beautiful pink marble church in Nitra with a special surprise inside, strolling the streets of Štiavnica - a dream town, hiking up the Calvary and seeing the most breathtaking views once you reach the top of the hill another little surprise awaits, and lastly hiking up to a secret lookout in Špania Dolina to the most surreal views. Bonus points since we were blessed with a beautiful rainbow once there! Thank you again Michal and Nicholas! I would 10000% recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience more of Slovakia!

5.00I had a great experience with Simeon, our driver and tour guide. He is a very punctual and patient person who spent a full day (8 AM to 9 PM) with us to show the smaller towns that are not easily accessible on your own. Our group (8 people) was quite diverse and very fun to be around with.
Wonderful experience and outstanding guide! Michal showed exceptional knowledge of the country's past and present!.
