Our customers love what we do

A wonderful hike with a great guide - the roads are well thought of (so you do not need to worry about nothing) you get a lot of care and help. We were on a road with Martin - he did all the possible things to assure we’re all fine, if the road is pleasant for the whole group, he was sharing lots and lots of facts and interesting things about the region and the mountains. Would definitely recommend these guys if you’re on a lookout for a great and active trip!

An incredible weekend hiking through the High Tatras. Our guide Patrik was brilliant - really knowledgeable about the area, friendly, and organised and planned things perfectly. Went on my own but met a really great group of people also doing the trip. 10/10 would recommend!

I recently got back from a 6 day trip with Slovakation and had an incredible time! We were in a group of 6 and explored the main national parks. The itinerary was perfectly planned, with a great mixture of hiking and personal time to relax afterwards. The accommodation was fantastic and the food was delicious. Huge thanks to Patrik for being a fantastic guide, especially as he went out his way to go back up one of the peaks, after the clouds cleared at Mala Fatra. We had freedom as a group to go on ahead if you wanted some alone time when hiking, but always felt safe knowing Patrik (our guide) was nearby. Communication was clear and responses were quick in case of any questions I'm hoping to go back again on another tour in the near future Thanks Patrik and Martin for an amazing holiday! :D

Great hiking days spent in the High Tratra Mountains. All was arranged by the organization: routes, hotel, airport transfer and additional activities. The routes were very well chosen and the guidance was expertly driven considering the diversity of the group. If you want to discover the beautiful Slovakian mountains, have a taste of Slovakian culture and landscapes, and have a relaxing hiking trip being in good hands, this is your agency.
