Review of Slovakia Explorer Website
Slovakia Explorer has an excellent site, easy to navigate, all the important details and a fantastic About Us section that introduces you to founder Petr Ivanek. Tours are divided into the following categories: Walking/Trekking, Cycling, Multi Activity, Family, Winter and Cultural Discovery. You will find some form of walking in all of these categories. Activity Levels are easy to understand and are specific to the type of tour and there are plenty of high quality photos for each tour. Example hotels are listed by name and there is a built-in currency converter. MUCH TO LOVE about this website!
Note about online reviews: There are few reviews on Slovakia Explorer and they are all at least 2 years old, but the reviews are consistent 4 and 5-star reviews on TripAdvisor, TourRadar, and Google. The war in Ukraine and the pandemic have not been kind to tour operators in this region but travel is picking up again here so we expect to see more good reviews for Slovakia Explorer in the near future.
