Hi Ondrej,

We arrived back in the US on 20 October. We totally enjoyed spending the day (7 October) with you at Spis Castle and Levoca. It was great to hear all the amazing facts about those sites and Slovakia also.

Thanks again,

Hello Jarka, Peter and Monika!

We are back in the states. We had a fantastic trip and the Tatras were definitely one of our favorites. Thank you so much for all of your help. We really appreciate it. We loved the ride to Budapest with Peter. You have a wonderful family business. So now it’s back to work until our next adventure.

Take care, be healthy and happy,

Hello Jarka, Peter and Ondrej,

We are back home and just wanted to thank you for such a wonderful holiday. Each day we were treated to wonderful hiking experiences, friendly lodges and great meals at the end of the trail.

We particularly enjoyed our hike with you up and over Priecne Col; we probably would not have taken on this challenge without your kind support.

Thanks again,

Doug and Jindra, USA

Hi Jarka,

Joe and I just want to thank you and Ondrej for such an easy, organised and stress-free travel experience from Krakow to Budapest. Ondrej was such a nice guy. Very knowledgable, friendly and flexible person, we enjoyed hearing his stories and learning more about European history.

So, thanks again!

Dear Jarka Rajecova,

I wanted to let you know that my mother, aunt, sister and I all had a wonderful two day tour, from Krakow to Budapest. The towns, villages, mountains and countryside we visited were beautiful and we felt that we enjoyed some small insight into the fascinating Slovakian history and culture. Certainly we did our best to taste lots of local cuisine.

Much of the pleasure of our trip was down to your excellent organisation and the many good suggestions you made, ranging from places to visit to where we might wish to stay A special thank you to our driver, Peter, and our guide, Monika, for whom nothing was too much trouble. They ensured that we had a safe, educational and enjoyable trip to your beautiful country.

Kind regards,

Hello Jarka,

I just wanted to write and let you know what a pleasure it was to have Ondrej with us those three days. He is a lovely man and we all enjoyed his company, his sense of humour and his way of sharing his love for Slovakia. My family were grateful for all he did to help make our trip to Medzev both meaningful and memorable. I will certainly recommend you to my friends.

Best regards,

Dear Jarka

I wanted to thank you for a most superb trip to the Tatras and Slovakia. My Dad and I had a wonderful time and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Please could you pass on our thanks to Peter, the Driver and to Monika our Guide; I must just say how impressed we were with Monica, she really was amazing. She knew so much and was so attentive and her English was fantastic! Thank you once again, we cannot thank you enough for what was a first rate trip. We shall treasure these fond memories forever.

Much thanks again

Hi Ondrej,

Just want to tell you how much we enjoyed our day with you. Nice job being patient with all my questions. We would have left Slovakia clueless unless we’d met you.

Thanks a million

Dear Jarka & Ondrej,

I want to say how much we enjoyed our travels with Rajec, and thank you for the organisation of our various days. The drivers we had were careful and considerate and always helpful with our luggage. Ondrej was outstanding and we so enjoyed all the information, history, culture and knowledge he shared with us. He knew so much about the Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary as we travelled in those countries, but we especially enjoyed our 2 days in Slovakia as he displayed his love and passion for his home country.

Thank you once again

Barbara, Australia

Dear Monika

I trust all is well with you there and that the attached pictures might bring back some memories. We are back home now and savouring all the memories of a wonderful trip, greatly enhanced by your contribution. Thank you again for your wonderful commentary.

Wishing you all the best in the days ahead.

Hi Jarka & Ondrej

Just to leave you know we got back home safely. Thank you again for everything, we all really enjoyed the trip. The snow was an added bonus of us, we just do not get any in Ireland. It also means when we return we still have peaks to conquer. Everyone was blown away with the walk through the gorge, again something that we do have at home. Even the traffic jams were better than the ones we have in Ireland. Of course the quality and the price of the beer was also excellent.

Ondrej, as special thanks again for everything. Your knowledge and professionalism really added to the trip. With you we safely got through all the walks and we also learned a lot about Slovakia.

Keep up the good work and I hope we will return again soon.

William and gang, Ireland

Hi Jarka,

It was a delightful trip with Ondrej. He was a wonderful travelling companion and excellent driver. Hope he got home safely. We’ll certainly recommend your agency to others.

Dear Jarka and Ondrej,

I have recently returned home from my travels and would like to send you an email to say how impressed I was with the private tour that Ondrej took myself and family on. I am so grateful to how wonderful Ondrej was to us, his driving, personal stories, hours of translating, and his kindness really made our trip to Slovakia the best I think it could have been.

Thank you so much for helping me organize this private tour and please pass on my gratitude to Ondrej.

Hi Ondrej,

We loved our time in Slovakia. I am encouraging my brothers and sisters to make the trip as well. We were very tired when we got home! We really covered a lot of territory on the trip.

I would love to return to Slovakia some day. I enjoyed the lack of large crowds and the friendly people. Thanks again for everything that you did for us. It was a fabulous trip.

Best wishes,

Mary Dzurik, USA

Hi Ondrej,

Jerry and I really enjoyed our time in Slovakia with you as our guide -- in spite of the rain. It was great fun to get to know you a little bit and to learn about your amazing country. You did a superb job! The scenery was really fantastic, especially the wild flowers, dark forests, and open fields. The group we were with was most compatible and we all had a great time discussing various topics. The final dinner on the boat cruising the Danube was a great way to end the trip.

I hope that our paths will cross again sometime.

Dick, USA

Hi Ondrej,

Back in work today after a lovely break away. Just wanted to say thanks again for your assistance and time last week - it is always nice to meet you and Mairead was delighted to get her shoe fixed (we would never have found that place!!). The books are also excellent and I have started reading
them - hope to have a few Slovak phrases ready for next visit.

Kind regards,

Gerry F., Ireland

 

April 17th, 2009

Dear Jarka,

I wanted to take a minute to let you know how pleased we were with Monica and Peter. While it was a grueling ride with many "traffic/road" issues, they handled everything beautifully. We felt well taken care of and they were a pleasure to be with. Monica provided lots of wonderful history and stories along the way and it really helped to pass the time. We arrived in Budapest weary, but safe.

Please pass along our thanks to both of them.

Sincerely,

Lynn L., USA

We have recently used Rajec Travel on a rather complicated trip to Slovakia. We are seasoned travellers, and have been throughout the world, encountering both excellent and mediocre guides in the past. This trip was expertly arranged and coordinated by them, and is one of the best experiences we have had in travel. Jarka was instrumental in making vital contacts in small villages prior to our arrival so that we could successfully accomplish our goals (searching for information of our ancestors), with minimal aggravation. We are truly indebted to her for those efforts, which exceeded the call of duty. Our trip was a huge success!

Harvey G., USA

 

September 18th, 2008

Dear Jarka,

Our trip to Slovakia was wonderful, mostly because of your excellent arrangements. We are most grateful for your extra efforts in getting us a family tree - we realize it was a lot of trouble to have to research the family, and make the appointments for us to meet the current occupants.
We can't say enough good things about Monica. She's a scholar, linguist, and has the patience of a saint. We've told all our friends about our great trip, and your very special travel agency.

Best regards, and again, many thanks.

Martha H., USA

Hello Ondrej,

we had a great time on the rest of the trip. You are right about Slovakia being a highlight. Not only was the scenery superb but having a guide who knew so much about the history and social life added very greatly to our enjoyment. We wished we could have stayed much longer.

All the best,

Maureen and Peter O., Australia

Dear Ondrej,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your kind hospitality during our press trip with members of the British media.

We really enjoyed the trip. We had a fantastic time. It was a great trip and I want to thank you for the arrangements and the program.... all the hikes were great. Ondrej was a very good guide; he’s a great asset to the company, as I’m sure you already know.
I will certainly recommend your company to anyone wishing to visit Slovakia.

...We would like to give a special thank to you Lucia, for looking after us so well and explaining so many things about your country and especially the High Tatras mountain areas. You certainly know your history, and your love for the mountains and Slovakia is very evident. We really enjoyed the time we spent with you.

Thank you very much,

We will attempt to give our opinion as to why we felt the Krakow to Budapest tour was one of the best we have taken with ExperiencePlus (www.experienceplus.com).

To us the most important part of a biking tour is the actual biking. In Poland and Slovakia we daily had long uphill climbs with downhill following. This was great biking. Those short steep climbs that we encountered were also great in that they gave us a feeling of accomplishment when we made it to the top of the slope without stopping. There was at least one biking challenge everyday in Poland and Slovakia. Most days had several.
The second thing that makes a bike tour outstanding is the area covered by the tour. The scenery in Slovakia was outstanding. The forests and the meadows were beautiful. The changing of the forest colors from green to fall colors added to the spectacular views.
The third tour ingredient that contributed was the tour leaders. Ondrej and Girolamo make a gold star team. Everything happened as it should. They did their best to make certain that the tour ran smoothly. Ondrej has a vast knowledge of the history, geography, plants and current events concerning Slovakia. We enjoyed the subtle humor of both guides.

Finally the culmination of the tour cannot be topped. Boating up and down the Danube having dinner and enjoying the lighted night sights of Budapest was a super ending to a great tour.

Hi Monika,

Just a short note to thank you for a most interesting and enjoyable visit to your country last week. Both Mairead and I really enjoyed the tour you gave us and all the background information. You live in a very nice country! We are planning to visit again in February next and I will keep you informed as, most likely, we will require your services again.
Our very best wishes for the success of your business.

Kind regards,

Gerry, Ireland

Ondrej

Another great tour with you.

We appreciate your sharing your knowledge of Slovakia with us. We enjoyed your subtle humor and your passion for your country. Thanks for all you have done. Your efforts made the trip “A PIECE OF CAKE”.

Thanks,

A.H., Colorado, USA

 

March 20th, 2005

Dear Ondrej,

A note to thank you for the excellent tour that you give us last week. As you may have noticed, we really enjoyed the Poprad area particularly the Tatras, the delightful Spis towns, the wooden churches, and our excursion to Bardejov. We shall probably return in the near future since there was no opportunity to see the sites in and around the eastern areas.

Hope we meet again, with best regards and good wishes.

Ondrej,

thank you so much for all you did to make our stay in your beautiful country so very special. We were lucky to have you as our guide (and care-taker of us „old folks“). We have taken many tips, but have never had a more knowledgeable, kind and considerate guide. We also enjoyed your sense of humor - do not ever lose that!

Dovidenia and best wishes,

we are writing to thank you for your hospitality and all the help you gave us during our stay in Poprad. It was a truly enjoyable holiday for us and we were glad and fortunate to have met you.
