Shorter private tour - Highlights of Slovakia
Thanks to Peter and Jane for working with me so we can customize a trip like no other. We were his first tour in 18 months (after all his future tours were cancelled due to COVID). We’ve never met a guide as passionate as him. His eyes glowed in excitement as he talked about Slovakia’s rich history and heritage. He is a true professional, knowledgeable, and flexible. He truly is one-of-a-kind and we’re so glad we found him. We look forward to more trips with him! Thank you again, Peter, for making my 60th birthday trip a trip of a lifetime! Slovakia didn’t disappoint! Anzelle / USA

Private Highlights of Slovakia in 3 Days
Hi Peter and Jane! Firstly my profuse apologies for the delay in getting back to you. We left you in Slovakia and spent the rest of the trip running around Prague and France, trying to see as much as we could. It was very hectic but the weather was great all the way through and the last week Gordon enjoyed his wine tastings to the fullest while I went off by myself to explore some smaller villages. Once we got back, unpacked and began getting over the jetlag, I had to leave again, this time to India. This is where I am writing to you from. It is my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary so have to be here with them and hoping to take them to Dubai to celebrate. My mom doesn’t move around much now so we thought this might be a good way to make it memorable for her. Gordon meanwhile is still in HK. So I’m still living out of a suitcase for the moment and have not had the time to get back into anything. Including replying to you to express our thanks for the wonderful time we had together. I promise I will get on to TripAdvisor and all that once I get back to HK at the end of the month, just need to catch my breath a bit. Here are our pics from my phone, I will send you more that Gordon took once I get back.I hope you both and the boys are well. And I hope things are going great. It must be colder now, and you must be getting ready for ski season. Say hi to the Tatras for us and we hope to come back soon. And we hope to see you in HK even sooner! We will be toasting Christmas this year with Tatra Tea ☺️. Warm regards, Dimple and Gordon

Peter, our trip was beyond what we expected. Matej did a fantastic job of showing us the best of Slovakia in 48 hours. We saw things and places I never expected. We both to this day are still so surprised at how beautiful Slovakia is. I expected a flat geography. Matej was very responsive to all our questions and we had many. He apprised us of the history, both recent and past of the country. I am proud to be of Slovakian heritage. We particularly enjoyed finding my mother’s home, especially as we had only pictures taken 15 years ago to go on. He was so very helpful in getting us right to the spot. We found it very moving. I have shared my pictures with my late mother’s sisters and my own family. We will certainly recommend you to out friends and family thinking of going to Slovakia. It is an undiscovered gem. Matej took us to two beautiful spots for lunches, places we would have never have known about. Thanks again for all your help in organizing this whirlwind trip. It could not have been easy for Matej with all the driving, but he did an amazing job for us. If you’re ever thinking of coming to Canada, please let us know. We would love to show you parts of our country. Thanks again. Margaret / USA
