This trip is mix of the best places that I think, you must visit in West, North west and Middle of the Slovakia. It is a shorter version of tour around whole Slovakia, that I already made with some guests that I had in Slovakia from other countries. It is perfect trip for real travellers and people, who loves to discover and visit interesting places, who love history, nature and relax in wellness! I tried to make a combination of best spots that you can see in this beautiful country. Many people do not know what to search for in Slovakia, so they stay only in Bratislava, but Slovakia has plenty of beautiful places that otherwise you will have to search for in the entire world. In Slovakia, you can find them in one small country. You will see, and I believe that you will be satisfied, as other people that I showed this spots before. We will visit beautiful places that are hidden to many foreigner tourists, but are worthy to be seen. Slovakia is a hidden gem that has a lot to offer. In Slovakia, you can find 425 mansions and 180 castles, 123 thermal springs and 7014 caves, 4181 churches, except that, you can find here many monasteries, rivers, mines, beautiful mountains, desert, thousands of lakes and many other interesting places … in relatively small land, you can find many things that you will otherwise search in whole World. 10 days is too short to show you all beauties that is Slovakia hiding, but you can see at least some of them, and I hope that after this small tasting of Slovakia, you will want to come here again to see more, and you will bring also more of your friends. During this trip, we will do many activities, and it is very intensive trip, as you will see a lot in a very short time, but I did this trip already also for families with small kids and no one has a problem to keep the program and entire family enjoyed it. We will visit a few cities in Slovakia, will see a few beautiful castles, museums and few other attractions, we can make a small hiking trip if you will like, and we will relax in wellness, in thermal springs or in lakes. This trip is in Budget version for people who want to save their travelling budget, but still want to see a lot, even with a lover comfort. In this case we will stay in more simple rooms in private apartments or smaller pensions, without breakfast, swimming pool and other attractions, and we will share the rooms together. Attractions are not included in price, and you can choose and pay attractions that you will want to visit separately. The same trip I can make in Deluxe version - where I will book very nice hotels with breakfast, some of that hotels has playgrounds, wellness inside the hotel, or other attractions included in price. You will stay in double rooms. So you will really enjoy the comfort of the trip. We will go by luxury car Jaguar F-pace, where is enough space. This version is for people who have no problem to pay a little more, but they want to enjoy a comfort. The trip is suitable for small group of friends, couples, families... In case that you want to be bigger group as 4, I have an option to hire 2nd car with 2nd driver and make a trip for group up to 8 people.
I am a passionate traveler. I am travelling as much as I can and from time to time I am planning trips also for other people. I like to meet new people and I like to show them places that I think are worthy to see.
Info about the accommodation: During the trip, we will stay in 4 places. Each place 2 nights, the last one 3 nights. In budget version, we will stay in simple rooms without breakfast and other attractions. We may share the rooms. The attractions and meals will be up to each of us, what each will buy. If someone wants a higher comfort and to have breakfast and some attractions included in price, is there and option to buy deluxe version. If you have any questions, you can ask in the Q&A - see you in Slovakia!
