• 5Highly recommend booking a trip with Best Slovakian Tours

  I highly recommend Best Slovakia Tours to book a trip. This is the 2nd year we have booked a private tour for my husband and I to Slovakia and other countries with them. The owner, Peter, is a joy to work with. He makes planning the trip so easy and truly tailors the trip for sights and activities which meet our interests. He understands the type of accommodations we like and the hotels have been exceptional. I'm normally very hands on when planning a trip but Peter did such a wonderful job last year, this year I just trusted in his suggestions and didn't research or question any of the plans he made for our trip. I just gave him a green light for activities and hotels and we were very pleased with everything. This year we spent 18 days touring Slovakia, Austria, Slovenia and Croatia with our exceptional private guide Martin. We stayed in Bratislava for 4 days using it as our base for traveling to nearby areas doing genealogy research. Martin was a huge help in our effects and I believe he had as much fun as we did with it. (Last year Martin was very instrumental in finding information I had been seeking for 15 years). We uncovered new mysteries which our schedule did not allow time to find answers for them so we are going back next year to do more research. After that we went on a tour of Austria, Slovenia and Croatia. Martin is an exceptional guide. He is very knowledgeable, knows history of the lands, is interesting and he is a lot of fun. Martin is also very considerate. He is always mindful of our needs and takes exceptional care of us. One simple example: we were walking on a wall in Croatia on a hot day - Martin gave me an umbrella to protect me from the sun. We cannot say enough good things about Martin and Peter. They feel like family. We even had the honor to go to Martin's for a BBQ and meet his lovely wife and adorable children. I first made communication with Peter through a highly respected Slovak genealogist. When I contacted him about planning a trip to Slovakia, he referred me to Peter and I am certainly glad he did. We have enjoyed our trips with Best Slovakia Tours so much we are planning a trip for next year to tour other parts of Slovakia and to Poland.

• 5Not to be missed

  We had an absolutely wonderful tour with Peter, from start to finish. No one from our group had been to Slovakia before this trip. Our experience with Peter on the 3 hour Bratislava Premium Walking tour not only showed us the highlights of the city (which are amazing - from castles, churches, beautiful streets and squares to reminders of the Soviet years) but taught us about the complicated history of the country. In addition to an in depth look at Bratislava, Peter gave us recommendations for other towns to see, and where to eat when there. His recommendations were all fantastic. In sum, Peter's depth of knowledge and his passion for his work made the tour a highlight of our vacation. We all highly recommend the tour. It is best to do upon arrival in Slovakia so that you have this foundation as you explore other parts of the country. IN the future, we will contact Peter for tours of other Eastern European cities.

About Bratislava

Bratislava is Slovakia's capital on the Danube, a small city of a hilltop castle, a pedestrian old town, quirky statues and vineyards close by.

Bratislava lies on both banks of the Danube close to the Austrian and Hungarian borders, about an hour from Vienna. Its castle, a white four-towered building on a ridge, looks over the river and the old town below. The pedestrian old town has pastel baroque palaces, the Michael's Gate tower, and St Martin's Cathedral, where Hungarian kings were crowned from the 16th to the 19th century, when Pozsony, as it was then known, was the Hungarian capital.
