Tatra Mountains hut to hut custom tour
Hi Barbora,
We had an excellent time, we really enjoyed it. The huts were so lovely, with more amenities than we were expecting (hot showers!). The food and the people were all excellent, we had a really lovely time. The mountains were so scenic and beautiful. We were also just so impressed at the public transit in the mountains, which made the trip so easy.
The only thing I would suggest is an upsell option at booking for a few things.
1. private rooms or smaller (if available) in the huts. We realized later some of the huts had smaller rooms available, and if they weren't fully booked out, we would have been happy to pay more to reserve smaller rooms, as we just like the better sleep we get
2. An option at the end (or maybe it would have to be both the start and end so they could store the luggage) to stay at one of the wellness hotels after the hike. There's nothing better than going to a wellness hotel with saunas after a multiday hike. We met some people on the hike that were doing that, and ended up going back to Starigrad to book a day pass, but it was quite long to do that trip 3 times on our last day (starigrad-poprad to drop our stuff, get swimsuits etc, poprad-starigrad to wellness hotel, and then back to poprad to sleep). We hadn't really done any research before so didn't realize that was an option, but if it was called out as an upsell option on the website, we definitely would have booked it.
All in all the trip was fantastic, and we were so happy to see a chamois in the mountains as well which we were not expecting.

Hi Bara,
It was a great trip! I was very lucky with the weather.
All the accommodation was good and everything went smoothly. Your pdfs were very helpful.
As for the tour/trek, Fero (the guide), the trek plan and map were all really helpful!
Thank you for organising a great, seamless trip!

Customized Hut to Hut Trekking in High Tatras
Lucia,
the trip was great !
The briefing at the beginning was done perfectly, clear and handling all necessary infos. Accommodation in the huts was as expected, no problem. Horsky hotel Sliezsky was a good surprised in the middle of the trek. I was afraid for transport from Poprad to the mountain, but for no reason as it was easy. Day walk duration was good for our child.
For your information, I gave your contact to colleagues interested in walking in the Tatras.

Tatra Mountain Holiday self guided tour
Dear Lucia
First of all we were very glad to visit the Tatra mountains - really a beautyful area.
We are very satisfied with your planning and communication - easy and fast.
The introduction in Poprad were clear and good. We got informations about the most difficult trails, places were we could bye water and food, and spots were we could look for animals.
After three days walk I got a stomach upset, and we cancelled the hike from Sliezsky dom to Strbske Pleso, and went by train. Easy and a good experience.
We had to ask for towel in the huts. Perhaps we should have brought some :-)
For me, the trail was hard, and it would have been really nice with a break om day 3 (two nights on same spot). Like the last day, we could have chosen to rest, to take a small or a long day trip - without our backpacks.
On the last day in Poprad we met another danish couple. The also have found your company - by searching on the internet. We don´t have a danish company doing what you are doing. Just for information :-)
We saw marmot, chamois and golden eagle and a lot of interesting plants :-)

Hut to hut High Tatras tour
Hi Lenka
A big thank you for organising our trip to Slovakia - we all had a fantastic time. Your organisation worked perfectly, the taxis were on time, the refuges expected us and fed us well.
We even managed to survive the thunder & lightning!! Weather was generally good, only two wet afternoons.
Slovakia is a wonderful country, people were very friendly and helpful. We even learned a few slovakian phrases.
I am attaching some photos.
Many Thanks Again

Hi Barbora
Ben and I had a great time. We thought the whole trip was extremely well organised with the transfers and the chalets, so thank you for that.

Hi Barbora,
I just wanted to write, to thank you for your help in organising an amazing trip. All the girls were impressed with the hiking in the Tatra mountains, the hospitality of the Slovaks and obviously cant wait to return! The success of the trip was very much down to your organizational support and attention to detail with regards to all of the practical aspects of the hike.
Once again thank you so much.
Kindest regards
