We spent 16 days touring all over Slovakia. Our favorite days were the 2 day that we spent with Miroslav. He is an excellent tour guide and taught us all about Slovak history, culture and life style. The first day we went to Lestiny wood church, Oravsky Castle, Tvrdosin wood church and Vilkokinec Unesco town. The second day Miroslav took us to Bojnice Castle and Trencin Castle. Both were absolutely lovely days. We never had a dull moment as Miroslav described each town we past through including politcal history, employment and culture. Miroslav's personal tour was so much more informative than touring alone. I highly recommend his services.
