Our trip to Slovakia was more than we could have ever expected. Miro was a wonderful and caring guide, Slovakia is such a beautiful country, everyone was so warm and friendly, the fodd was great, and visiting my Grandfather's hometown of Polomka was particularly special. I'm so happy for you and Martin with you're new born son Jacob. I know that you are both overjoyed. He certainly has wonderful parents. Thank you again for everything. I hope that we can return again to Slovakia. May God bless you,

Guided Day-tours around Banska Bystrica - Group from Lithuania
I am really greatfull for your services and for everything you have arranged for us. Everything was extremelly great and nice. The hotel was very warn and pleasant. The trip on last Friday was outstanding is spite some of our guys did not make it due to whatsoever personal reasons. I am sure the trip on Saturday would have been also good but Ftriday tour was hard enough for our lasy company and therefore we decided to do some light sightseeing instead of hiking again on Saturday. In any case it was really worth it just to know what does it feels like... the hiking mean. Thanks a bunch again, Sincerelly yours,

16 days Trip in Slovak Mountains - Sulov, Velka - Mala Fatra, High Tatra, Slovensky raj
The itinerary you put together was well planned and executed. These past 16 days have been excellent. I knew that Slovak Paradise and the High Tatras, alone, would be worth the trip. I did not realize that there was so much more to see and do. The mountains, castles, caves, lakes, waterfalls, festivals, museums and your insights were all perfect. The meals and accommodations were all first rate... the innkeepers in Martin and Poprad made me feel very comfortable and now seem like old friends.
The peaceful hike in the quiet Sulovske Hills was a great introduction (and warm up) for the days to follow. The hiking tours in Mala Fatra and Velka Fatra National Parks were a bit more challenging, but the views from Tlsta Peak and Velky Rozsutec Peak were worth the effort. I especially enjoyed the canyons and waterfalls at the base of Velky Rozsutec. The ferry ride and Robin Hood festival were nice surprises.
The special program with Marcel was a lot of fun. The boat ride around the huge lake, surrounded by magnificent mountains, was a great way to begin the day. Marcel's interpretation of the open air Celtic museum made it even more enjoyable. The afternoon we spent at the thermal swimming pool was a nice break from hiking.
Another highlight for me was laying in the alpine meadow at Martinske Hole Peak and watching the
sheep and cows come out of the forest with the shepherds while the clouds floated by.
Everyone should do this at least once in their lives.
The decision to spend an extra night in the High Tatras was a good one. I will never tire of the breathtaking views (or the beer in the mountain cottages). Summitting Krivan was a personal goal, but I think my favorite day was the day we climbed Rysy Peak.
I have truly come to love Slovakia since that first whirlwind tour in 2004. You have made it possible for me to see many spectacular places and meet many wonderful people in your beautiful country. Anyone who has not experienced Slovakia with STOPA-STS has no idea what they are missing.
I cannot wait to see the photos. I am already thinking about returning next year. I will continue to recommend your company to my family and friends.
Thank you again for everything and best of luck.

Hiking Trip in the High Tatras Area
Just thought I would drop you a line to let you know that we had an absolutely fabulous time. Martin was a perfect host. He not only was knowledgeable about all of the places he showed us, but was very personable and friendly. He introduced us to many Slovak people and we felt that we were very special in his hands. Please let him know that now my father is thinking of visiting with him as a guide as well. Give him our fondest regards,
