Holidays in Slovakia - Nature in Abundance

Overall, we were very satisfied with this holiday experience and as a family of 4 - with 2 kids aged 10 and 15 respectively - we recommend it very highly to those like us who are seeking out a more active holiday option which mixes history, culture, and cuisine with the stunning landscapes in and around the Slovakian Tatras. Given that we aren't hikers by any measure, our guide Marek Revilak was superb in adjusting his curated itinerary around our needs, and creating a day-by-day holiday which not only made us appreciate the nature around us, but our capacity to experience it and our own capablities when it came to hikes. The pace was not hard, rather moderate-to-easy, and there were a host of memorable sights and sounds around us at all times. We spent each day differently in terms of location and activities, and never felt like we were doing the same thing. Expect a mixture of active hiking and day trips, with downtime at the wonderfully selected accommodation where all amenities were as expected to a 4-star standard. Marek was extremely knowledgeably, extremely friendly, warm and enthusiastic. He made the entire trip even better and we were genuinely sad to say our goodbyes at the end of the trip! Slovakia is such a beautiful place, with wonderful people and food, and excellent infrastructure. All told, we definitely want to make a return trip someday, and moreover, feel like we have experienced a very nice introduction to the world of hiking - which makes us more appreciative and inclined to make more such trips in the future.
