Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I planned a family sightseeing and ancestry tour with Best Slovakia Tours in 2020. Peter was very helpful and meticulous in the planning. He also referred me to a Slovak genealogist who helped trace my ancestors back to the 1700s. Sadly, I had to cancel because of the pandemic.

Although touring stopped, Peter gave weekly virtual video tours last year to many places in beautiful Slovakia. I enjoyed seeing the sights, while Peter and tour guide Martin provided interesting personal commentary and history. Next best thing to being there!

Peter and Jane also established an Eshop, which offers Slovak-made cultural items, including ceramics, musical instruments, and clothing. What a great idea! I ordered several Modra ceramics items for Christmas. I was very happy with the beautiful pieces, which came carefully packed.

I have been so impressed with Peter for his personal and family approach to Slovak culture and touring. I am looking forward to our family visit later this year or next. I can’t wait to see the beautiful villages, mountains, national parks, and people, and to discover my Slovak and Slavic roots.

We can’t stop talking about our amazing tour of Slovakia and being able to connect with our relatives. Best Slovakia Tours made this happen with Peter being an amazing tour guide. His love for Slovakia and knowledge of the history shined through and made our trip so much more special. Peter and Jane took care of all the logistics and we were able to enjoy every minute. We appreciate Roman for driving all 11 of us around and navigating the narrow roads in the cemetery. Peter’s patience and flexibility were so appreciated and this allowed us to completely enjoy our visit with our cousins. All of the hotels and restaurants that we went to were excellent, and Peter made sure we visited historical and beautiful sights in Slovakia. Again, we want to highly recommend Best Slovakia Tours for making this a trip that we will never forget. Anyone wanting to visit Slovakia, we highly recommend contacting Peter and Jane because they truly live up to their name the Best Slovakia Tours!

My sister and I traveled for over a week in the care of Best Slovakia Tours. We visited cities in western Slovakia - Bratislave, Trencin, Trnava; cities in central Slovakia - Cicmany, Banska Stiavnica, Banska Bystrica; cities in eastern Slovakia - Levoca, Kosice, Zalezice. We visited the Trencin Castle, the Boinice Castle, the castle in Banska Stiavnica, and saw the Spis Castle. We visited a couple museums in the castles and also went to the Museum of Slovak National Uprising. We spent a day in the High Tatars hiking.

A week before we were to leave for Slovakia, I asked if we could fit in a trip to Litmanova, where there were visitations from the Blessed Mother to 2 young girls from 1990 to 1995; and Peter without hesitation fit it into our tour.

Peter picked us up at the Vienna airport and had us transported back to the Vienna airport when we left.

Our tour guide Martin was with us from 9AM until sometimes 9PM. He drove us around, he translated for us, he told us about the Slovak food and drink, and shared his knowledge about Slovak history and their love of nature. When we visited the city of Zalezice, where our paternal grandparents came from, it was Martin that called the mayor of that city to inquire if any relative of ours could still be living there. It was through Martin that we were able to visit with the mayor of Zalezice. Martin also called at the house of the Greek Catholic priest, who kindly opened up his church for us to visit.

The food was great, our accommodations were wonderful, and Slovakia was beautiful. My sister and I felt safe and were well watched over. The trip was all that I hoped for and more.

Even though I was unable to actually travel to Slovakia in 2020, Peter and Jane Blazicek of Best Slovakia Tours brought my beloved Slovakia to me through their delightful virtual tours. Every Thursday, a different town, castle, or other place of interest, such as the Modra Factory, was featured. Some of the virtual tours included places I had been to during Peter’s Ancestry Tour, and some were brand new to me. Seeing the familiar sites online, I was able to relive my memories. Learning about sites I had never seen, ignited a longing to return to Slovakia so I could see them in person. In addition, Peter’s virtual tour of the Modra factory/gift shop inspired me to do some Christmas shopping! I ordered the items in these two photos. As expected, it took about a month for the box to arrive at my house. Everything I ordered was individually covered in bubble wrap, so it was all intact. All the items looked just like the photos from the Modra factory’s website, which can be accessed through Best Slovakia Tours’ Facebook page. The chocolate bar was excellent! The “fancy” motif cross is beautiful. There are several other motifs available, and many more items made at the Modra factory for sale on the website. Thank you to Peter and Jane for bringing back my wonderful memories of Slovakia, and for making it possible to shop for handmade Modra products without leaving my house!

Dear Phyl, thank you for your time and for sharing your lovely Modra ceramic collection bought from our Eshop. I love that our traditional Slovak hand-made, hand-painted Ceramic from Modra factory - travels all around the world. It helps to keep these beautiful traditions alive. Phyl, I do believe that we will be able to welcome you personally in Slovakia and-or in other Central European country. We do believe it will not take a long time. Meanwhile, watch our virtual tours (we will soon start again) and add to your Slovakia Travel Bucket List :) Take care and stay safe, Peter Blazicek and Travel Team

Since our last trip provided by Best Slovakia Tours we have been longing to return but COVID 19 certainly put a stop to that. Since my wife has roots back to Slovakia she heard about Peter and Jane's ESHOP program. Looking over the items available she asked for several items for her Christmas present, December 2020. I placed an order with them and waited for their arrival. It was a bit held up by the USPS but arrived a bit after Christmas. Here is a memo I sent to Peter and Jane for their efforts.
Jane and Peter,
Karla received her box today from the post office. She was so excited to open the
items. You did a great packing job. She is already looking for places to put her new
Treasures from Slovakia. The items are well made and all arrived without breakage. Thank you so much for getting these to us. Happy New Year and be safe. Tom and Karla
Folks,Best Slovakia Tours has been such a pleasure working with. We hope to return for another trip with them as quickly as possible.

Dear Tom and Karla, it is so great to hear from you. Tom, i love your description how Karla was excited about her new Treasures from Slovakia. Well, as COVID19 destroyed the entire travel season 2020 we came up with the idea of an Eshop where we can offer traditional Slovak products such as Modra ceramic, folk costumes, fujara musical instrument and many more. For people they have already been to Slovakia and want to have some as you say "treasures" or they are planning the tour this year or more probable for 2022 - they can find some lovely little presents - 100% Made in Slovakia. Our travel agency goes on, is alive and we are ready to welcome you again in our lovely country - Slovakia. Stay safe and take care, Peter Blazicek, CEO

Subject: Private Day Trip to Banska Stiavnica Unesco Site

Location: Bratislava

Title: From Bratislava to the High Tatras

ID#: 974296744

Text: Trip Advisor Review for Best Slovakian Tours

This review is of a ten-day, private tour for four seniors in September 2024. We were returning to Slovakia after five years.

From Bratislavia to the “silver town” of Banska Stiavnica and on to Kremnica, Kosice, and Kezmarok, we visited a microbrewery, tasted the lovely Tokaj wine, and saw the wooden church in Kezmarok. We also visited the UNESCO village of Vlkolinec, rafted on the Dunojec River in the National Park Pieniny, and visited the open-air museum of Orava village. My personal favorites were the high Tatra mountains and our fabulous guide, Martin Schwarz. He was very knowledgeable about his country, spoke fluent English, and was attuned to our every whim and wish. He even invited us to his home for our final dinner with his lovely wife and three children.

This was a twice in a lifetime trip, and I can’t wait to return to beautiful Slovakia to tour again with Martin and Best Slovakian Tours.

Our group of 4 ladies spent a wonderful 10 days with Peter in Czechia, Slovakia, Poland and Hungary. Peter is one of the best driver-guides I’ve ever had the pleasure to have. He’s considerate, patient, knowledgeable and amazingly strong. Due to his healthy lifestyle, he’s really fit and is the only guide I’ve known who carried (NOT dragged) our 4 medium size suitcases over cobblestoned streets for a few hundred metres, and twice carried them up flights of stairs when our countryside pensions had no lifts! His Mercedes minivan is immaculate and lovingly maintained - he’s the only driver I’ve had who cleans his windows every morning so we can see clearly through them. Needless to say, his driving is also safe and steady. He was flexible in his itinerary and never watched the clock. His restaurant recommendations were always spot on and some of our best food on the trip was in places he uses regularly. He and Jane make a great team and work very well together. Don’t hesitate to book him for your next trip: I’ve already requested an itinerary for next year!

Because of Covid19, I haven’t actually taken this trip yet, but I have to say how great this company has been to work with! In January of 2020, I worked with Peter to plan a trip for my sister and I and five female cousins to visit areas in Slovakia where our grandparents grew up before emigrating to the US. Our custom, guided tour will also include other highlights of Slovakia and visits to Prague, Vienna, and Budapest. Peter had lots of great suggestions and expertly coordinated our entire tour and accommodations—then Covid hit. We’ve postponed our trip until next year, but can hardly wait to make our long-awaited adventure happen!

Peter and his team are phenomenal! Our family traveled to Slovakia earlier this month, and Best Slovakia Tours made this a truly special experience. We had tours of Devin Castle, Bratislava's Old Town, and a personalized daylong excursion to our ancestral family town. Peter's expansive knowledge of Slovak history, culture, and customs greatly enhanced our trip. His language skills are excellent, and he was very patient and accommodating to our diverse family group, which ranged in age from 1 year to 75 years. There was a remarkable attention to detail and warmth that characterized our interactions. Peter and Jane helped transform our family trip into an experience that we will never forget.

I had limited time at the end of my trip to Hingary and Slovakia to squeeze in a day in Bratislava as well as search out a nearby ancestral village. Peter was recommended to me by a genealogist I traveled with earlier in my trip on the eastern side of Slovakia.

Putting together my itinerary with Peter was pretty last minute, having only made contact with him about two weeks prior to departing for Europe. He was available for one of the two days I was in Bratislava, and he promptly put together a wonderful itinerary tailored on my interests.

For the actual day of touring, he was on time, with his van well outfitted for the day with water for us. We made the trip to my family's village where he was able to get us inside the local church, then stopped by Devin Castle on the way into Bratislava for our walking tour. He was flexible with us as we made a stop at the Slavin Monument at my request.

Overall it was a wonderful day, and Peter was very gracious in sharing stories of his upbringing as we shared family stories. I look forward to a return trip with my daughters, and will definitely be in touch with Peter for some of the planning.
