Peter, of Slovakia tours, helped us organized a tailor made 10 day tour of Poland, Slovakia, and Vienna. We specified my ancestry villages and the desire to see the high Tatra Mountains and spend some days in a mineral spa. Peter did all the rest. He picked the best, B&Bs and hotels and restaurants and the most relevant landmarks. He arranged for all the admissions to museums and churches, and even helped us find a wonderful classical music concert in Vienna. It was a private, cozy tour. There were just four of us and Peter. Not a huge tour bus with crowds of people. Peter was relaxed, flexible, fun and full of local history. It was like having family or friend guide us for those 10 days. I would highly recommend this company. Considering all he did this is probably the Best Buy you’ll find for a European tour.
Great tour company!!

We had an incredible tour on two consecutive days to Cachtice Castle and Orava Castle with Peter, and then a trip to Bojnice and Cicmany with Maja. Both were amazing and very helpful guides and excellent drivers. Highly recommend!!!

Our 2 day tour was amazing. The first day we did all of the major sites in Bratislava. The second day we did Banska Stiavnica and surrounding sites. We would not have had the same experience in Slovakia if we did not have Peter as our guide. Peter is exceptionally knowledgable about the history of Slovakia and the sites that you visit. His input was invaluable! We learned so much about the country, the history, the food, and the culture. Peter will adjust the trip as needed and is very sociable and nice to hang out with. We especially enjoyed having a nice afternoon lunch with Peter and discussing anything and everything Slovakia. (Peter picks great restaurants and translates so you can really relax and enjoy your meal.) He is a safe driver and a kind, affable person. He will pick you up promptly at your hotel and drop you off in the afternoon. He and his wife Jane are very responsive to email prior to the trip. I highly recommend him for a tour guide in Slovakia.

Banska Stiavnica village was mildly interesting, but the castle visit was disappointing as it was a poor example of a castle and moreover the tour was in Slovakian without English translation. Ruzomverok Vlkolinec UNESCO village was good. The cable car visit at Stary Smokovec was abandoned due to inclement weather. Spis Castle was excellent.
10/10 Perfect Trip!

My husband and I recently went on this tour, and it was absolutely amazing. Our guide, Martin, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we were happy and comfortable the whole time. On the tour, we were able to visit multiple castles, small towns, and hike in a national park. It was, without a doubt, the easiest way to see this entire country in a short amount of time without feeling rushed. 10/10, highly recommend, and be sure to bring some hiking shoes!
Exceptional and one of a kind. Highly recommended

Exceptional and memorable trip. One of the best we have done and highly recommended. We spent 4 days and saw most of Slovakia. From glacial lakes to churches to castles to wine yards. Martin was our guide and driver and travelled with us and was absolutely world class. He had such a deep knowledge on the country and seeing it through his eyes was an u forgettable experience.
One of our best private tours

“We are a family group of 7 adults, nieces and nephews seeking our roots in Stara Lubovna. Peter and Jane set up an 9 day itenery with the perfect guide, Tomas, for our group. Jane actually made a connection for us to meet relatives that we did not know we had. They listen to what you are looking for in your visit and accommodate. The hotels they selected for us were all excellent choices. We had an experience of a lifetime. I highly recommend this company for your visit."
Well rounded trip!

My brother and I had a marvelous time! This was a truly wonderful tour and Peter is an outstanding guide. Peter picked us up from the Vienna airport and took us directly to our hotel. I had done some genealogical research prior to the trip and was able to tell Peter the villages we wished to visit during our tour. He picked us up in a well maintained, almost new Mercedes van, and gave us detailed information about the villages during the tour. He is smart, articulate and very knowledgeable. With Peter's help, we were able to find relatives we didn't know existed! Peter helped in our outreach to them, took us to meet them and served as a great translator, since we don't speak Slovakian. We now have new relatives in Slovakia, which made the tour priceless. The tour was just great and I strongly recommend Best Slovakian Tours. Peter also does tours throughout Central Europe and Italy and we will contract him as we plan to do a similar heritage tour in Italy in the next year or so.
