We took the 2 day tour and were amazed at how much we saw in that time. Peter is an incredible guide and really has a knack for balancing the number of sites visited without making us feel rushed at all. He is also extremely knowledgeable which makes such a big difference in learning about Slovakian culture and traditions. Thanks Peter!

Private Best of Slovakia Tour
Our family traveled with “Best Slovakia tours” company to Slovakia in September 2023. It was our first time with this company and not our last. Peter, the owner of the company, was very efficient from our first email, he always answered all our questions very quickly, courteously and built us an itinerary in a very professional way that met exactly our needs. Martin was our guide in private family tour in Slovakia for 5 days. Martin was fantastic guide. Lots of information, great knowledge, punctuality, sensitivity (even helped us to buy medications when we needed), patience, helpful and always making sure we were pleased. The trip was an amazing experience, we spent 5 magical days with Martin, we reached stunning, different and unique places in Slovakia. During the trip Martin told us about every place we passed along the way that has historical importance. The trip was flexible and suited our needs and requests. Martin took care of us all the time with a lot of dedication, we enjoyed professional and responsible driving and his desire to satisfy our wishes. He has very comfortable vehicle that every morning was very clean with cold water for us. We never stopped enjoying the experience that Peter and Martin created for us. Traveling with Martin was an amazing experience, he made the trip more than perfect and we enjoyed every moment. We strongly recommend everyone to use the services of Peter and Martin, you won’t regret it. We are already looking forward to our next trip with this company Orit, Eli, Meitar, Shayli from Israel

Dear Peter, It was a privilege and a pleasure to visit Slovakia and Hungary and Vienna with you!!! Everything about this trip exceeded my expectations. Your careful planning of our itinerary giving us a great view of our ancestors’ homeland was especially meaningful. The comfortable travel schedule, hotel arrangements, dining and free time suggestions were all wonderful. The lovely dinner at your home hosted by you and Jane was very special. I can’t thank you enough for a truly wonderful experience. I hope I may be able to enjoy another one of your tours in the future. With sincere gratitude and best wishes, Kim / USA

Peter & Jane worked with us to design a custom six-day tour. We felt we experienced the best of Slovakia and look forward to returning again someday. Peter was a knowledgeable guide and able to answer my historian wife’s many questions with ease. The sites, accommodations, and food were all memorable, and the tour vehicle was comfortable throughout our many hours of driving. It was also a pleasure meeting Jane and their children when we shared a dinner with them at their home. We highly recommend using Best Slovakia Tours and were completely satisfied. Thanks, Peter.

Private Best of Slovakia Tour + Extra Days
My sister and I traveled for over a week in the care of Best Slovakia Tours. We visited cities in western Slovakia – Bratislave, Trencin, Trnava; cities in central Slovakia – Cicmany, Banska Stiavnica, Banska Bystrica; cities in eastern Slovakia – Levoca, Kosice, Zalezice. We visited the Trencin Castle, the Boinice Castle, the castle in Banska Stiavnica, and saw the Spis Castle. We visited a couple museums in the castles and also went to the Museum of Slovak National Uprising. We spent a day in the High Tatars hiking. A week before we were to leave for Slovakia, I asked if we could fit in a trip to Litmanova, where there were visitations from the Blessed Mother to 2 young girls from 1990 to 1995; and Peter without hesitation fit it into our tour. Peter picked us up at the Vienna airport and had us transported back to the Vienna airport when we left. Our tour guide Martin was with us from 9AM until sometimes 9PM. He drove us around, he translated for us, he told us about the Slovak food and drink, and shared his knowledge about Slovak history and their love of nature. When we visited the city of Zalezice, where our paternal grandparents came from, it was Martin that called the mayor of that city to inquire if any relative of ours could still be living there. It was through Martin that we were able to visit with the mayor of Zalezice. Martin also called at the house of the Greek Catholic priest, who kindly opened up his church for us to visit.The food was great, our accommodations were wonderful, and Slovakia was beautiful. My sister and I felt safe and were well watched over. The trip was all that I hoped for and more. Tasia / USA

Jane and Peter, I want to thank you for a wonderful tour. The planning was great, a balanced mix of city and country along with different hotels. We had such fun in the car with Matt. Matt was a great guide, a mix of attitude and facts. I loved all his opinions. He is a good representative of Slovakia and added so much to the day with the relatives and created a good plan on a rainy day in the mountains. I mean he even had my brother the priest meet his friend the priest. What a charmed. Thank you so much. I will be back, Sarita / USA Sent from XFINITY Connect Mobile App

Short Best of Slovakia Tour
Peter and Jane, thank you for the excellent service on our trip. The tour was very well planned. All the things that you (and Michal) set up worked out fine. The meetings in Rajec worked out well. The cemetery gate was open and someone did meet us at the synagogue in Trencin. We did not in fact find my great grandfather’s tombstone. The entire area was in poor condition and many stones have deteriorated over the years. But there was no way around that. The hotels were excellent. The high point was definitely visiting Rajec and meeting the mayor of Kamenna Poruba. All of us enjoyed actually seeing the towns. Michal was very accommodating about varying our tour on the spot, according to what we wanted to see. I asked Michal to translate a few short passages in the Kamenna Poruba history archive. I have not received them yet. I will send him an email in a few days if i don’t get them. He also took some pictures for us with his camera–I would like to get them. If you want a quote . . . . Peter and Michal organized an excellent tour for our family. We visited the village from which our great-grandfather emigrated in 1883 and discovered things that we could never have found on the internet. It was inspiring to see the beautiful area where he spent his childhood. We also visited several other places that illustrated the Jewish life in Slovakia in the nineteenth century. Thank you, Peter. Regards, Jim / USA

Best of Slovakia Tour + Prague
Dear Peter: The tour was great overall. Marcel was a tremendous guide, he knows the area and the people of the region extremely well. He was very flexible in spite of some of the weather issues. He took us to so many places where we saw the real Slovakia, without his demeanor and skillful maneuvering I don’t think we would have been able to enter the home of my cousins wife in Kvasov. He took us to really good restaurants and steered us towards some really special foods native to the areas we visited. We really enjoyed the conversations we had w/Marcel, especially concerning the communist occupation and historical perspective of Slovakia’s political history. I would recommend him highly to anyone wanting to visit Slovakia’s mountains and the lowland surrounding those regions. Matt, was very knowledgeable and did a great job for us in seeing as much as we could see in Prague in the limited time we had there, I will definitely recommend him as well. The highlights of the trip was the castle in Bratislava, all the Tatras activities and places, Spis castle, obviously Kvasov and eventually Prague. We would come back in a heartbeat to see the rest. I am interested in the grand tour of Slovakia, and the Czech-Slovak Private Tour. We hope to do either of these tours w/your company. Sincerely, Michael and Elisabeth K. / USA

Best of Slovakia Tour + Extra Days
My husband and I returned last week from Slovakia, where we spent time in Bratislava, Kosice and several locations in between. We travel often, and were amazed at how much Slovakia has to offer – numerous UNESCO World Heritage Sights, excellent hotels, good meals, very palatable wine, friendly people, and no crowding – all priced very attractively. Our guide, Peter Blazicek, was a gem. Full of knowledge and enthusiasm, excellent companion, linguist, and driver, he was the guide one always wants but doesn’t always find. He and his wife, Jane, who drove us from the Vienna airport to our Bratislava hotel, were great from beginning to end. Any visit to that area of Europe would be enhanced by their presence.

Best of Slovakia Tour + Poland + Czechia
Dear Peter and Jane, Jan and I would like to thank you both for all your work to make this a wonderful trip. The itinerary and the scheduling all went very well. From the moment we landed in Bratislava until we finished in Prague the trip was outstanding. You, Marcel, and Peter really knew the history, and the sights of the towns and areas we visited. We cannot tell you how much we appreciated Marcel taking us to Konus and Secovska Polianka, and interpreting for us during our visit to the area and the visit with my cousin. This visit will always be close to our hearts and it will always be a cherished memory. But it was not just the family visit that made this trip so wonderful. Visiting the Churches, the old castles, museums and towns, learning more about the history of Slovakia and Poland, and taking the time to go to the High Tatras just added to our enjoyment of this tour. It could not have been a better experience for Jan and I. Thank you again for a wonderful and very successful tour. We were very happy with all the planning and effort that you and Jane put into our tour, and with the expertise and knowledge of our tour guides Marcel and Peter. Would we use and recommend the Best of Slovakia Tours – Yes we would! You may use any and all of this on your website. If you need us to write something somewhere else let us know. We did get Marcel and Peter’s pictures.Will we be getting a copy of your pictures? Best of Regards, Jan and Ed M. / USA

Thank you, Peter. We have had the most wonderful ten days, traveling in comfort and visiting places and seeing things that have been truly amazing. We can’t pick favorites but among the best was the two tiny churches, the wooden one and the one with the frescoes. Since we first contacted you we have been impressed by your efficiency, kindness and knowledge. Slovakia will always be remembered as a highlight for us. Email#2 from 21 Sept 2016: Dear Peter and Jane, I am so sorry that I have not written earlier. Thank you so much, Jane for the delicious lunch and to both of you for making time for us. It was a relaxing couple of hours at the end of a truly wonderful week. Peter, your whole approach made Slovakia ‘come alive’ for us and we feel that we have now a little real understanding of you country and its history and people. I have included ‘my scribblings’. I hope that I have got things right. Noel and I like to remember our holidays together and the pictures that we take go with what I have written to help us recall some of our happiest times. Since we left you we have not stopped for in Latvia and Estonia we were with old friends whom we may not see again. In Vienna we had three hectic days with our son and his family. It was good to catch up. Today we have a free day in Zagreb and then in another week we will be driving to the airport in Rome to go home. So thank you both for providing us with a week that made a profound impression on us. Rosemary and Noel / Australia

Hi Peter, Hello and hope you are well. Just wanted to say another huge thanks for a great trip. We all felt very sad to say goodbye to you when you dropped us off in Krakow! I want to leave some feedback on your website but I can’t work out how to do it. Where can I write a review? James and I want to return in August for a couple of days and wondered whether you would be able to accommodate us again? We are keen to climb the big (crooked!) peak in High Tatras and also visit Paradise National Park. Depending on flight times we would also ideally like a day in between to recover at the water park. Could you drop me a line back with a suggested itinerary and price? I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, Steve / UK

Thank-you Peter, David and I had a wonderful time with Matej. I feel that the trip was very well-designed hit the true highlights of Slovakia in just five days. We saw everything from the liveliness of Bratislava, to the beauty and culture of cities such as Levoca and Banksa Stiavnica, to the natural beauty of the High Tatras, including the incredible Belianska cave. It was a perfect mix, and it’s hard for us to pick out just one favourite sight or activity. Matej was a wonderful, informative, and helpful guide, who went out of his way to accommodate us and the things we wanted to see, even if they weren’t on the itinerary. That kind of flexibility is much appreciated, and certainly made our tour feel truly customized. We had an excellent experience, and would definitely travel with your company again. Many thanks again. Susan & David / Canada

He is professional and a safe driver as well, which was comforting to us. He was very kind to my mom who is older and needed help walking around at times. He always offered her his arm and assistance down steps if needed. We have had many drivers and tour guides as we have been around the world. Peter is someone we would want again when we come back to Slovakia or the surrounding area. We appreciated the water in the car as well. We will share your company tour information with our Slovakia friends in the US and highly recommend you. Thank you! Laura N. / USA

Peter, sorry for the late reply. Your email got buried in a mass of mail that I faced after we got home. Also the week after we returned, we went to Pittsburgh to visit Jean’s sister in a nursing home compounding the e-mail problem. Enough excuses! As you perceived we did enjoy our tour with you. You did what I asked – that being an overview of Eastern Slovakia and Krakow. I thank you for your persistence in keeping the night in the Tatras at the Kempinsky Grand in our itinerary. It was a highlight of our whole trip. We have mentioned it every time we are asked about the trip. It exceeded expectations!! Ed PS I was also happy to find that what little I remembered of my Slovak language was correct– too bad only a few people in a small part of Eastern Slovakia speak it. Edward O. / USA

Peter and Jane: We had a fantastic time in Slovakia, the country is beautiful and we enjoyed our trip very much. We love Slovakia. We will be back and will look to you to be our guide. I will also refer friends and family to you – you both did a terrific job planning our trip and providing us great guides. Thank you! My next trip back I would like to hike in the Tatras and perhaps a day at the spa:-) Upon our arrival it was a pleasure to learn David Kovach was joining us – he was a pleasure and additive to our trip. We loved the Radisson Blu Hotel – it was a treat and breakfast was very good. Our first day at our leisure was appreciated because the overnight trip to Europe is tiring and it is nice to be able to rest if you want or explore the city. Restaurants we really enjoyed for traditional Slovak food were Prasna Basta and Bratislava Flagship Restaurant – both very good. We enjoyed strolling around Old Town Bratislava. John did a nice job on the city tour of Bratislava and we enjoyed the afternoon tour including Devan castle – this was the first time we were in a country that had been behind the iron curtain – so definitely much to learn and observe. We enjoyed our time with Dave. He was very attentive. The hike in the Tatras was terrific. We really enjoyed the views, the hiking, and the tatra tea! For me the 6 hour hike was great! Dave and I hiked to the second hut and it was fabulous – David and Bob stopped at the 1st hut. We enjoyed our meals at Salas – great food. We enjoyed our stay at Dave’s parents’ pension – I highly recommend it. Our day in Levoca and Spiss Castle was very good as was Zehra church – we missed seeing one of the churches. Your home is beautiful – thank you for inviting us! I will spread the word on what an amazing trip we had and all you have to offer – thank you – we will be in touch! Mary & Bob A. / USA

Peter, Thanks for the link. It’s great! It’s fun to remember our great time in Slovakia. Barb and I had a great time. The highlight was sharing our time with you, your family, and Martin,Livia, Veroniqua, and Shaska. We loved the time in the High Tatras, especially the hiking, and we very much enjoyed Vladimir and Eva. The touring in Bratislava was enjoyable. If we could have gotten into the fortress, that would have been a plus. The Marrols was a great hotel. In general, learning about Slovakia was an experience we won’t forget and you were a terrific, dedicated guide. As you can see above, being allowed to be a part of the lives of you and your friends was the highlight. Tom H / USA Hi Peter Thank you so much for a wonderful visit to your country. Tom and I had so much fun with you and your friends. We enjoyed our history lessons you gave us. Since neither of us knew anything about Slovakia, it was nice to spend a week learning the Slovakian background and seeing a variety of places and things. I especially enjoyed the hiking in the Tatras, visiting the wooden churches, seeing some of the middle-aged towns, and of course our touring of Bratislava. What we talk about the most is our time in the pension talking to Eva and Vlado (can’t forget Bella!) and our new “family” –you, Jane, your sons, Martin and his family. That bonding was special…thank you for making it possible. Peter, you are a very good guide. You were able to figure out what we wanted during our stay and you provided it. Thank you.

Hello, Peter Yes, we made it back safely and very much enjoyed our holiday. It was such a great experience, I will never forget my week in your (my) beautiful country. Highlights for me were: the genealogical research and visit day; Orava & Cachtice Castles; and your flexibility in allowing us to craft each day to maximize our sites visited. I honestly can’t think of a negative thing – you can’t control the weather; the only distraction was the overcast skies and rain in Hungary, but there’s nothing that can be done about that. If we do a future trip to Czech Republic or Poland, I will contact you. And you can use me as a reference. Ron K. / USA

Hi Peter, I just want to let you know that we arrived home safely to Canada. Thank you so much for the wonderful trip!! You were not only an excellent guide, translator and driver, but became our friend as well. We will always treasure the time we spent together. Looking back, we probably should have skipped Prague. It was nice, but after all of the beautiful sites we saw with you, we did not need it. It was very far, and we were exhausted from all of the food and drink in Vechec! I wish we had spent Monday and Tuesday either in the village, or seeing Kosice or Bardejov more in depth. I guess that gives us some information for next time! Hi Peter, (email #2) I just wanted to let you know how much my mother enjoyed the video that you took of the mass and the party — she said it was just like being there!

Best of Slovakia Tour + Family History
Hi Peter, once again we want to thank you for a truly wonderful trip. We learned so much, enjoyed ourselves immensely, fell in love with our country and people and we look forward to traveling with you again. It was truly our most memorable vacations. Once again, thanks so much. Give our regards to Jane, Dominic and Jacob. Hope to see you Sept. next year. Kathy / USA Email #2 Hi Peter, Once again I just want to thank you for a wonderful experience we had during our Slovakia holiday. Visiting your country was something Kathy, Jack and I have wanted to do for a long time and we were fortunate in finding your tour. It is just what we wanted – small, personal and seeing the back country. The hotels were superb – from the four star upgrade to the nice and comfortable pensions. I do not have one complaint about any place we stayed. I just wished we could have stayed longer. Having you as our driver and guide was very wonderful. You gave us your undivided attention and your presence with us constantly was a comfort for us since we did not speak the language. We appreciated your being willing to adjust the program to meet our needs and desires, like visiting Jamink and taking us to Budapest on the last day. Also we enjoyed visiting your family – Jane, Dominic and Jacob. Having cookies and coffee with them was pleasant and it made us feel like one of the family. We loved every minute of the visit. The activities – hiking the mountains, touring the cities, eating in the restaurants of the locals, etc. – were just what we wanted. We wanted to feel like we were in our homeland, and you provided that experience for us. Again, our only complaint is that our trip was not longer. But like we talked, we hope to see you next year for your Poland, Austria, CZ Republic tour. Take care and God bless. Again, thanks for a wonderful experience of our beautiful country. Neil / USA

Hi Peter, Thanks for your email, and sorry for the long delay in responding. All is fine with us, but things have been a bit crazy…! The trip was amazing–we all look back very nostalgically on our time spent in Slovakia! I am especially grateful that you agreed to accommodate Annika; most tour operators would say “no” to a 13-month old. But having her there was very special for us–it allowed three generations of Slovak-descended women to be together!–so we really appreciate your decision to include her. Thanks also for use of the car seat, for putting up with the mess she often made in the back seat, and for tolerating her cries! We all thought the tour had a wonderful mix of activities and sights, and provided a spectacular introduction to the beauty and fascinating sights and history of the country. The food was great (thanks for accommodating our wish to have traditional food as much as possible), as were the accommodations (especially the resort in the High Tatras). The churches were a real highlight for us! Otherwise, we were very pleased with what we saw, and we thank you for your very informative discussions of Slovak culture, history, and politics. We wish you the very best in the new year, especially as you think about expanding your company. Take care, Aziza, Susan, and Monique / USA

Best of Slovakia Tour
Dear Peter, Thank you for your email and the pictures. We arrived home from Slovakia last week and are getting back into our normal routines. We had a nice couple of days in Cesky Krumlov staying in a Pension in the town. We loved the scenery and the castle there. Then we stayed 5 nights in a nice apartment in Prague, and did lots of walking to see the city sights. I enjoyed that very much. We also took one-day trips to Karlstien and Kutna Hora. We loved Slovakia, the scenery and the old towns and castles. The first hotel in Bratislava was good and the tour of the town and castles we both enjoyed. The Pension in Tatranska Lomnica was very nice. Day 3 was busy with walking to the waterfall and visiting Levoca ( I would have liked to spent more time there) and Spiss Castle. The Hotel in Bardejov was also very nice and on a clear day the views would have been great. Day 4 in Bardejov was very interesting , we loved the old buildings in the town. The pension in Kosice was good and very close to the town center. Day 5 in Kosice was nice with the Churches and the singing fountain in the center of the main square. Day 6 in Banska Bystrica was interesting, and we loved Bojnice Castle which you kindly took us to before dropping us home in Trencin. I only missed seeing more of the Tatras. Maybe a little shopping time in the towns would be good for the ladies. The guided tours and your commentary were good and we enjoyed most of the activities.” Lin & Bo / Australia.

Peter, the trip your company organized left us an unforgettable memory. We are also glad for that we acquainted and became friends with some really friendly and hospitable individuals. The travels around wonderful Tatry Mountain and inside the fortress could show us that how the Slovakian nature and habits are wonderful. Furthermore, Aquacity Poprad impressed us amazing memory. We will be looking forward to have such trip again soon . By the way, the motorcycle trip was fantastic. We would like to express our gratitude to chauffeur Steffan for comfortable journey. Thank you Peter. We hope to see you soon. Best regards. Mugi / Mongolia

Best of Slovakia + Family History Tour
Dear Peter, Kole and I would again like to thank you for sharing your home country with us. You introduced us to the beauty of your country and it truly was beautiful! You were able to include so many castles that I know Kole will be talking about for years to come. We liked the intimacy of the trip – 3 visitors and you, our driver and guide. From the Danube River to the Tatra Mountains and so many places in between you shared your country’s history and culture with us. You knew exactly where to take us for lunch and dinner so we could dine on local foods and drink. All and all Peter, everything was perfect and as Kole said when his Mother asked him if the trip was what he expected, “Much More!” was his rapid response. Also, thank you for being considerate of my limitations. Marlene P. and Kole S., Countryside, Illinois USA Email#2 Peter, Ako sa mas? Dobry den. Thank you for being our guide, and, the EXTRA THOUGHT driving Marlene close to everything so she could enjoy. All I can say is BEAUTIFUL with all that Gothic and Barogue Charm.” Times 10!!!!!!!! I can see the Slovak people are craftsman and want to beautify their buildings and history. My grandfather was a carpenter. My favorite spots/cities were Skalica of course, because of the marriage certificate, but the CHARM of it, also Banska Bystrica, Bratislava, Prague, the tatras, Levoca, and the 45 house timber village. The hrad/castle Bojnice couldn’t have been more perfect. It was beyond belief to be that preserved inside and ourside. I liked the rafting ride even being a chilly day. The pole man made me laugh about the story of Namestovo and how I was dressed for cold weather-” he said I couldn’t have relatives from there-cause it is allways cold there. The walking guides Asia and Dashsa were very personnable and knowledgeable.I liked all the accommodations in Slovakia and even enjoyed the Lux and the City Hotel of Bratsliva, sometimes for me after a plane ride ,then, a larger hotel with room to stretch out and to walk around is always welcome. Peter — Thank you for your very personnel escort on our visit to Slovakia.

Hello Peter, in the beginning of summer of 2010, we visited the city of Bratislava, the capital city of the Republic of Slovakia, and also Tatranska Lomnica and Tatra mountains. The country located in the center of Europe which has ancient history ,had established diplomatic ties with Mongolia in January 1, 1993 . It has already been over 10 years of diplomatic relations between two countries , we are very proud of being the first messenger of bilaterial visit of citizens two countries. I would like to extend my kind appreciation to Mr. Peter Blazicek , the organizer of the trip , dear friend David ,who wholeheartedly helped to this trip and being together with group and also colleagues of the Embassy of the Republic of Slovakia in the Republic of China. I hope that our trip will be the beginning of new millenium cooperation between Mongolia and Slovakia. Personally, im very happy that i have heard that one scholarship student will study in Slovakia upon agreement between two countries after my trip to the country. Slovakia is one young member of the European Union. I am really confident that you, as a tourist, will like its geographic location ,natural existence and friendly relations and hospitality of Slovakian people which i mostly admired. Once more , I would like to remind you , dear voyager , before your trip that this place is Slovakia where you can drink direct flow water without any earth pollution in the world. With this letter, I wish you to contact wih Mr. Peter Blazicek, Best Slovakia tour agency, the Republic of Slovakia, if you want to taste the freshest water and fresh air from the top of Tatra mountain. We are really experienced this kind of taste. Mugi / Mongolia

Shorter Best of Slovakia Tour
Dear Peter, on researching how we could see the High Tatras and other scenery from Bratislava on our way by train from Budapest to Prague, I saw that yours came closest to meeting our hopes. However we could not afford the 9-day version and were very glad you could accommodate us by trimming the itinerary down to 3 days (besides our 5 days in Bratislava). On reflection I feel we did the right thing as the 3 days intensive driving and sightseeing was quite enough despite good roads and excellent driving. Apart from missing out on Bardejev I believe we saw the highlights of your vibrant, historical country, little known to today’s travellers. Jennie and I have enjoyed chauffeur-driven tours of Malaysia, South Africa and India etc. but it was a special treat to be driven by the boss himself with a complete knowledge of your country and perfect English. Tatranska Lomnica and the High Tatras, Spiss Castle, Levoca, Kosice, Vlkolinec and Banska Bystrica will remain with us as treasured memories. We appreciated your extensive information, assistance with meals, but particularly your good company. We will certainly recommend your Best Slovakia tours company to anyone planning on visiting your unspoiled yet prosperous country. It was a pleasure to have shared our journey in your capable hands”.

Peter,Natalie and I enjoyed our “Best of Slovakia” trip. We enjoyed the fact that we were sitting back in the car (sometimes sleeping) while you were driving us to carefully selected sites. We appreciated almost all of the sites and the trip fulfilled most of our expectations. We loved of course the walk in Bratislava, the castles of Trencin, Bojnice and Spis and most of all the Tatra mountains. We liked Banska Bystrica. We thought that three hotels were exceptional: the Radisson in Bratislava, the Grand Hotel Praha in Tatra Mountains and the Amarys pension in Banska Bystrica. We enjoyed the rafting portion of the trip (even if was a bit too long).” Thomas and Natalie / USA
