I had a fantastic time on this holiday! I went as a solo traveller for my birthday and it was such a great way to mix with others, we had all become great companions by the end. Each hike was different and Alena and the team decided to swap the hikes when the weather was rainy so we could enjoy the views. Alena, Jozef and Tomas were incredible. Alena and Jo even got me a present for my birthday which took me by surprise and was incredibly thoughtful of them! The food, views were amazing! We went in May and the weather can change so quickly especially in the mountains so ensure you have the right outfits and gears! Can’t wait to visit Slovakia again🥰

This was an incredible trip and excellent value for money. Feel very privileged to experience Northern Slovakia, in a very relaxed way. Hikes were amazing and our guide [ Tomas] and Alena went out of their way to help us discover the culture, history and the beauty of this area. Accommodation was 5*. I absolutely recommend this company although I would love to keep it to myself :-)

Exceptional trip! Fantastic fun, and so well organised. The accommodation was very good, and the trip as a whole was brilliantly run. I would thoroughly recommend Alena and Tatra Escapes to anyone.

This was my second trip with Tatra Escapes. It is very rare for me to book a similar holiday twice, but the first time was so good that I wanted to repeat the experience; and I was definately not disapointed. Alena the host is extremely competent. She is friendly, flexible very attentive and willing to "go that extra mile" to make your experience truly special. She is bilingual (Slovak and English) and knows the area like the back of her hand. She has a network of equally brilliant contacts in Poprad,which means that from the accomodation to the walks to the optional extras everything is truly top quality and there is nothing of the "mass produced" feel about the holiday. For example the huskies were brought out especially for our small group of 6; same with the snowshoeing; it is a full day activity with a knowledgable fully bilingual and friendly leader/guide exclusive to us 6. Obviously a reasonable level of general fitness is required ( the holiday I went on was the winter walking one). However I am in my 60's and though I regularly walk 5 or 6 miles I am by no means a "fitness freak", and I managed the snowshoeing and all but the most challenging walk. The accomodation is a 5 minute walk away from a fantastic thermal water spa. On the day of the harder walk I had already planned to spend a day there, enjoying the wonderful hot outdoor pools and all the water jets. It is easy to spend 4 or 5 hours there and so this was a great option for me. I am sure had I wished then Alena would have come up with an equally suitable alternative for me. As I say everything is very flexible and Alena is very accomodating. I would recommend this holiday to anyone who wants a truly special and unique experience amongst magnificent scenery with warm and friendly hosts; not to mention the hearty and very tasty Slovak food which is all available at more than reasonable cost. Everyone who came on this trip came alone; in my opinion it is definately something you can do on your own , though I know she also organises holidays for couples and ready made small groups etc according to your situation and interests.
