Dear Carol, thank you very much for your kind words, it's great to hear that the private trip met your expectations and you had a beautiful day. Happy & Safe Travels! Peter Blazicek
Peter was amazing! So easy to work with and so helpful. He took on a customized tour I requested and was able to connect us with amazing on-the-ground experts that really took our tour over the top. He also spoke excellent English and doubled as our local translator!

Dear Ronen, thank you very much for your kind words, we love to hear that you enjoyed your private premium Bratislava tour with me (Peter) and a day trip out of Bratislava with Martin. Thanks again and until the next time:) Happy & Safe Travels! Peter & Martin
Thank you Martin for a great private trip to Banska Stiavnica. It is a picturesque and exciting old mining town located 2 hours east of Bratislava, and a Unesco World Heritage Site. We visited both the New and Old Castles (now museums and various exhibitions), the Town Center with beautiful buildings and a detailed mural depicting the long mining history of the town and its Academies which Martin explained, the spectacular Calvary (Golgatha, the crucifixion of Jesus), and the Hodrusa Lake (my own request). Martin is a wealth of knowledge, I got great information of the different places we visited, he speaks very good English and we had many nice, fun and interesting discussions during the full day tour. I can really recommend this great tour!
Dear Carina, thanks so much for such nice words about one of the most beautiful Slovak towns - Banska Stiavnica and as well as about our colleague - top tour guide Martin. We love to hear you enjoyed the day. Happy & Safe Travels! Peter Blazicek and Travel Team
Definitely not to be missed! Very impressive the walk to Calvary, the old castle is certainly one of the best visited. It is also worth getting in, which castles, often more beautiful outside than inside, do not always deserve. The village is really very very nice, certainly the snow falling and the Christmas atmosphere have done their part. Going to Slovakia without going through here, it would be really a shame
Grazie mille, siamo felici che ti sia piaciuto questa unica citta. Peter
Peter was very informative and nice The town was gorgeous and was definitely worth a visit. Such a beautiful place with so much history. I’m very glad I chose this tour I highly recommend
Dear Anna, thanks so much for your kind words. I am happy that you enjoyed the day trip with us. Happy and Safe Travel! Peter
We had an excellent tour to Banska Stiavnica with Peter. Peter is a highly professional, dedicated and informative guide. The sites were beautiful and the place is packed with history. We highly recommend having lunch at the Ruin Bar ( the only one in Slovakia, we were told). We highly recommend Best Slovakia Tours. You will have an awesome tour and time.
Dear Zunaid, thanks so much for your kind words, i love to hear you enjoyed this lovely historic town and your tour guide Peter (me :) Happy and Safe Travel! Peter Blazicek
If you're looking to get out of the hustle and bustle of the big city this is the tour to take. We did the tour recently and we're able to take in this little town and learn how it use to be and how it is today. The tour goes at your pace so you never feel rushed. 1 thing to be aware of is that this tour envolves a lot of hills. I'd recommend this tour to anyone that has an extra day in Bratislava. The tour company communicated with us and we had no concerns going into the tour. Probably our most favorite tour we took in Slovakia. Thanks again
Dear Chris, thanks so much for your kind words. Day trip from Bratislava to UNESCO town Banska Stiavnica is amazing, especially, for those they like historic, untouched towns with lots of sights. We're happy you enjoyed the day trip with our top tour guide Pato. Happy & Safe Travel! Peter Blazicek
Peter collected us at the agreed time. He was an excellent guide and driver. He provided an excellent history of Slovakia. The town is very nice. Highly recommended if you want a day trip from Bratislava
Dear Kenneth, thanks for your kind words, we're happy you enjoyed your day trip. Happy and Safe Travel, Peter
We had such a great experience with Peter. Pickup at the hotel was perfect, the drive was smooth, and Peter went above and beyond to accommodate us. We had a wonderful tour of the very cool mining city, the castle, a delicious lunch, and still made it back in time to take the boat to Vienna! Peter is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and has a real talent as a guide. We can't wait to come back and do another tour with him!
Dear Tim and Nicole, thanks for your kind words, i am very happy that the day trip fulfilled your expectations and you both enjoyed it. Take a good care and Happy & Safe Travel! Peter
