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!

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.

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

...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,

Ondrej,

Thank you for making the trip really enjoyable for us. We enjoyed your enthusiasm and good humour. We learned to appreciate Slovak humour - just like Canadian!

Good luck in your future.

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,

G.F., Ireland

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,

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,
Arnie and Millie Spilly, USA

Dear Ondrej,

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.

Thank you for the work done by all of your guides to make our visit to your beautiful country so memorable. Their information and efficiency was very much appreciated by myself personally and I am sure I am also speaking for the whole party. We brought back many memories we will treasure in the years ahead and I am already looking forward to the next time we visit.
