I joined the Slovak Ancestry Tour and two private tours. Everything was well planned and our guides(Peter and Michal) were very friendly and knowledgeable . The hotels , transportation, and food were all great. Five Star without exception and I highly recommend Best Slovakia Tours for travel in Eastern Europe!
Dear Geri, thank you so much for your kind words about our small group tour Slovak Ancestry Tour you take part on. We love to hear that you enjoyed it. Happy & Safe Travels! Peter Blazicek
We thoroughly enjoyed our day trip to Cicmany and Bojnice with Majka, our tour guide. Majka shared a lot of information with us along the way which gave us excellent insights into both destinations. Cicmany is a stunning and unique village with its wooden houses covered in white markings, and Bojnice Chateau is truly a fairytale castle. Don't let the eight hours needed for this tour put you off, as both places are well worth a visit and the Slovakian countryside is really beautiful. Majka was a great driver and we felt very safe with her. Peter and Janka of Best Slovakia Tours were very quick in responding to our inquiries and very helpful with their advice on this tour. We would highly recommend Best Slovakia Tours for providing expert and tailored tours of Slovakia's best sights and experiences. Kerry & Mick, Australia. May 2026.

Best day of our trip to Slovakia! Thank you, Peter, for the great day trip to Bojnice and Cicmany. The Chateau and the small village were great, the drive through the Slovak regions relaxed and very nice. The highlight, however, was Peter’s knowledgeable and personal anecdotes about his home country, which made us get to know and understand Slovakia and its inhabitants properly. In addition, the booking process by email was super fast and friendly and the price totally fair. We can only recommend Best Slovakia Tours – please keep it up!

Best SlovakiaTours recently organised a 10 day tour of Slovenia, with Tour Guide Martin in charge. We had an excellent and fascinating time in this beautiful country, exploring castles, ancient towns and spectacular gorges. Martin looked after us extremely well as usual a d made sure that we got a huge amount of pleasure from the sights we saw and explored. This was our third trip with Best Slovakia Tours with Martin at the helm and recommend that if you are considering visiting Europe you give Peter ad Jane a call. They will listen to your wishes and plan accordingly for accomodation and times.
