I am hoping to book a place on the tour departing on 3rd August as it is still showing as places available on Tour Radar. Please can I ask a little more about day 4 where it says we are navigating ladders and waterfalls? I'm ok with heights, generally fit and mobile and have done hiking trips before - but haven't ever taken on anything particularly technical, or have any experience of climbing/descending rock faces, waterfalls etc. Is this trip accessible to someone like me, or am I better off choosing a different trip? I would hate to delay the group.

There are free places, but no place was sold yet, so will not run that departure. However we have 3 clients and guaranteed departure on 7th September if that would be interesting for you by any chance. You are welcome to join that one.

Could you please confirm that this trip is definitely running so I can start booking flights and other arrangements?

At this point we have no participants booked on this departure. For the departure to go ahead, we need minimum 4 participants. At this time of year, I'm not so optimistic about getting 3 more bookings in a couple of weeks time.

do you have to carry your luggage or is it transported to your destination each day

During this trip you will be doing day hikes and stay in a hotel for overnight, where you can keep your extra luggage. For the day you will need just smaller backcpack to carry spare clothes, food and water.

- SlovakationOperator•Written May 2024
  During this trip, you will be staying in 2 different hotels, where you will keep all your luggage and you will be hiking just with your day-pack/smaller backpack. When you will be changing hotels, the luggage will travel with you in the car, so there is no need of carrying whole luggage at all.
