    Our group of 4 ladies spent a wonderful 10 days with Peter in Czechia, Slovakia, Poland and Hungary. Peter is one of the best driver-guides I’ve ever had the pleasure to have. He’s considerate, patient, knowledgeable and amazingly strong. Due to his healthy lifestyle, he’s really fit and is the only guide I’ve known who carried (NOT dragged) our 4 medium size suitcases over cobblestoned streets for a few hundred metres, and twice carried them up flights of stairs when our countryside pensions had no lifts! His Mercedes minivan is immaculate and lovingly maintained – he’s the only driver I’ve had who cleans his windows every morning so we can see clearly through them. Needless to say, his driving is also safe and steady. He was flexible in his itinerary and never watched the clock. His restaurant recommendations were always spot on and some of our best food on the trip was in places he uses regularly. He and Jane make a great team and work very well together. Don’t hesitate to book him for your next trip: I’ve already requested an itinerary for next year! Jerusha / Singapore

    We visited 5 countries with Peter and Martin as our guides, All of the accommodations were pre booked by Peter. The rooms were all excellent. The most impressive aspect of the entire trip was the knowledge that Peter and Martin had of each and every city and country that we visited. We were able to see all of the major cities in each country as well as beautiful open country and mountains. We shared dinner almost every day with Peter or Martin and really missed them the few times when we dined without them. We traveled over 3000 kilometers in a beautiful Mercedes bus that was very comfortable. I rode in the shotgun seat for most of the trip and no matter what question I dreamed up Peter and Martin had knowledgeable answers for. My favorite country was while Martin was our guide in Slovakia. The mountains and beauty of this country is unbelievable. If we had traveled without Peter or Martin we would have missed so much. What a wonderful once in a lifetime experience made possible by Best Slovakia Tours. Kirk / USA

    We recently completed a 26 day private tour of Slovakia, Czech Republic, Austria and Hungary that was arranged by Peter and Jane at Best Slovakia Tours. We paid for the tour in 2019 and were originally supposed to do this tour in March 2020. Because of Covid and then the start of the war in Ukraine we postponed it to 2023. After 3 years of delay Peter conducted our tour with just a small fuel surcharge added to the cost.Peter was our driver/guide for the entire tour. He speaks fluent English as well as German. His knowledge of the area and its history is vast. He’s a very good guide, a competent driver and he uses a very comfortable Mercedes van to conduct his tours. Our hotels were all in great locations, in or within easy walking distance of old towns with many nearby restaurants. In our case admission to all tourist sites (including many UNESCO sites) was included in the tour cost. Thank you Peter and Jane for a wonderful tour. David and Margaret D. / Canada

    Peter, Thank you so much for this beautiful letter. Yes, we had an incredible time in Eastern Europe with you, and because of you. It was so memorable, eye-opening, beautiful, sad, educational, inspirational and yes, as you know, exhausting! We will always remember what we learned and experienced – all because of you. Thank you, and Jane, for giving us lasting memories with the hundreds of photographs you each took for us. As you both know, it was too emotional for us to take photos at most of these sites. Now, because of you both, we can share these memories with our family – our children and grandchildren – and with our friends. Especially with the horror of what is going on in Israel today, we have learned, “NEVER AGAIN”. I told you that I would love to write a recommendation about your services on a public site(s). Can you please send me the web address(s) you would like me to post these on? YOU made this trip possible for us. Peter. We would never have experienced or learned what we did without your professional and kind support. Please kiss your beautiful children for us, and your lovely wife. L’Chaim! Love, Gina / USA Peter: We enjoyed the tour as well as being with your wonderful family. It truly exceeded our expectations. Enjoy your family time. We are feeling fine and back to our relaxed retirement days Regards, Stewart / USA

    ” Peter, there’s no way to tell you how much we have enjoyed our time with you. Thank you for being so patient with me and my knee.
 Your humor and good spirits certainly made my walking much easier. This trip was especially meaningful to Jim since he was so pleased to meet and visit with his cousins. That was a special time and thak you for allowing us the freedom to spend so much time with them. That was the main purpose for this trip.The hike in the Tatras will forever be a wonderful memory for me.“I made it on flat ground in five minutes” 😉.The race with speeding cars was exciting !Bob and the map is unforgettable ! The bankrupt hotel and the look on your face is a priceless memory ! So many crazy things in such a short two weeks. You have been a perfect guide and we hope to see you in America some day. ” Jim & Sue F. / USA

    Peter: Just a little note to let you know how thoroughly we enjoyed spending our vacation with you.
I hope you got home early enough to enjoy some family time. We cannot begin to imagine what this trip would have been like without your constant guidance, caring, humor, knowledge, and love of travel. We will be in touch.” Regards to Jane, Jacob, and Dominik, Stacey E. / USA
