This trip is fantastic and I would recommend it to anyone. Booking with Alena was easy and seamless, nothing was too much trouble and she is there for anything you need. The hikes were amazing, well planned and the guides were great. The accomodation was comfortable and really clean and in a great location for everything within Poprad. It was an amazing experience and I would definitely use Tatra Escapes again in the future.

Tour guides were very nice and friendly with excellent knowledge about the region and selected tours were well chosen and adapted to our level. Accommodation was quite simple, breakfast not so good (and not too healthy for hikers) in a small village - which was authentic on the one side but if you have no car, it is a bit more difficult to move around in the later afternoon/evening. All in all an experience I don't want to miss.

What our customers ask about Slovakia Tours & Trips
What are the best regions to visit in Slovakia for first-time visitors?
First-time visitors to Slovakia will find the High Tatras Mountains and Spiš region offer essential experiences. The High Tatras present an accessible alpine landscape with more than 600km of marked trails and peaks that reach beyond 2500 meters. The Spiš area contains remarkable medieval sites including the UNESCO World Heritage Spiš Castle and historic Levoča. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "Slovakia is a beautiful country. The Tatras are stunning and the historic cities like Spisska and Poprad are beautiful." Accommodation options range from city-center hotels like Mercure Bratislava Centrum to mountain lodges in Štrbské Pleso which provide easy access to key attractions.
What is the best time of year to visit Slovakia?
Slovakia welcomes visitors throughout the year with distinct seasonal advantages. June through September brings reliable weather for hiking and outdoor activities in the High Tatras and Slovak Paradise National Park. The winter months from December to March transform mountain resorts like Štrbské Pleso into snow sports destinations. Spring and fall offer pleasant temperatures and smaller crowds in Bratislava Košice and other cities. A TourRadar traveler mentioned: "Autumn was truly wonderful with its colors. We would love to visit again in Winter." Tour availability peaks during summer though year-round options exist.
How difficult are the hiking trails in Slovakia's national parks?
The national parks of Slovakia offer trails for every skill level. High Tatras routes include moderate options like the 12km Biele and Zelené pleso path with an 826m elevation gain as well as tougher climbs such as Kriváň with its 1101m ascent. Families often choose Slovak Paradise National Park where trails like Sucha Bela stretch 17.2km with a gentler 455m climb. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "We did some hiking to magical places we toured castles and wooden churches...so much!" The trails use clear color-coded markers to indicate difficulty levels.
What is the transportation like between cities in Slovakia?
Getting around Slovakia combines modern efficiency with scenic travel options. Organized tours typically provide private vehicles and experienced drivers especially useful for visiting remote castles and mountain areas. The Tatra Electric Railway connects mountain resorts with views of the High Tatras along the way. A TourRadar traveler mentioned: "Jan is a careful driver. Very kind and a great sense of humor." While Bratislava and Košice offer reliable public transit reaching places like Spiš Castle or Vlkolínec works best through tours or private transport.
What unique wildlife experiences can visitors expect in Slovakia?
Natural encounters in Slovakia center on the Tatras region and Muranska Planina. Visitors can see bears in Podbanksy particularly in avalanche zones during guided excursions. The Muranska plain features Europe's largest colony of susliks (ground squirrels) where these usually timid animals interact more openly with observers. The Tatra Mountains also support populations of lynx wolf stag and the uncommon black stork. A TourRadar traveler mentioned "The wildlife viewing in Slovak Paradise was incredible with opportunities to see everything from bears to unique bird species."
What cultural sites should I visit in Slovakia?
Slovakia's cultural landscape features significant historic sites across the country. The UNESCO-recognized Spis Castle stands as one of Central Europe's most extensive castle complexes while Banska Stiavnica preserves its medieval mining heritage intact. In Poprad the Spisska Sobota district displays traditional burgher houses topped with distinctive shingled roofs. Kosice's St. Elisabeth Cathedral the country's largest church anchors a cityscape that blends Gothic Renaissance and Art Nouveau elements. A TourRadar traveler shared "The mine trip was interesting and the mining towns are full of character."
