Adventure Hiking in Slovakia in a Weekend

My wife and I had an amazing time on our MBA guided tour. This was our first time with MBA and after this I can say it will not be our last. Our guides Patrik and Jacob were amazing, professional and very knowledgeable on pretty much any subject and made the entire trip easy allowing us to disengage brain and just enjoy

Guides were lovely, and very knowledgeable, scenery and level of adventure was as described - no epic views but lots of elevated platforms, steps, bridges and ladders to bring you through beautiful gorges. Trip to thermal pools was excellent, just what aching muscles needed! Hotel was nice, food good. Our group were a lovely bunch of folks who made the trip even more fun!

It should be 10/5 stars really, had the most fabulous weekend adventure hiking lead by the amazing Patrik & Jacob. The trip was well planned and ran smoothly from start to end, transport, accomodation, food and communication was top standard. But what made the trip was our guides, aside from ensuring we all completed the hike safely, they made the trip special with their knowledge, recommendations, photographer standard photos and of course their personalities. I would book another tour with them in a heartbeat, thank you so much for the wonderful experience ❤️

Loved every seconds! Amazing people, incredible places, best guides ever! Thank you Jacob and Patrick, you made this trip safe, knowledgeable, and unforgettable! To those who are looking to take this trip, it’s not for the faint of hearts. I have fear of heights and had to push myself to keep it together. Our tour guides helped me with the trickiest bits but still there are plenty of exposed angles. Other than that, enjoy!

This trip was a delight from start to finish. Most of us found each other at Krakow airport whilst waiting for transfer, thanks to the WhatsApp group created the week before. Transfert to Levoča was a bit long for sure, but the scenery along the way, and the company, makes up for it! The traditional Slovakian restaurant we stopped at on the way was also pretty cool! Each day was very well organised, leaving around 8am and coming back around 6pm. There were always a stop at a bar by the end of the walks, which helps keep the motivation up when your legs start to argue! On the Saturday night we had the option to go for a medieval dinner in the underground cellar of the hotel and it was a blast! Don't skip it, it was so much fun! Our guides Tom and Peter were absolutely amazing, very knowledgeable about the history around the places we went to, patient and attentive to everyone in the group, making sure we could all make it at our own pace. The walks get shorter but a bit more challenging as the days go by, some contained some "juicy hills" as Peter liked to call it 🤣 but the views at the top are 100% worth it! Don't hesitate for this trip, it was perfect all the way!

That was an awesome trip with a nice bunch of people and brilliantly led by Jan and Peter. A lot was crammed into the short time we had. We were unfortunate with the amount of rain but Jan and Peter knew how to alter things so we still got a great and memorable experience!

This tour was an incredible experience from start to finish, and a huge part of that was down to our guides, Jan and Miro. Miro was fantastic throughout - incredibly knowledgeable about Slovakia and its history, with a brilliant sense of humour that kept the group laughing and the atmosphere relaxed the entire trip. He somehow managed to be both an excellent guide and a personal photographer, always appearing at the perfect moment to get great photos without anyone even asking. Jan was equally amazing. You could really see his genuine passion for Slovakia in the way he spoke about the country, its history, and the national park. He went out of his way to make sure everyone was comfortable and was always happy to help, day or night - nothing ever felt like too much trouble. He was hospitable, experienced, and incredibly knowledgeable, and you always felt you were in safe hands. Together, Jan and Miro really brought the group together and created such a welcoming atmosphere. The tour itself was the perfect mix of adventure, beautiful scenery, and switching off from everyday life to reconnect with nature. You definitely don’t need to be an expert hiker or ultra-fit to enjoy it - just willing to keep going for the reward of some truly amazing views at the top. One of my favourite parts of the trip was the thermal pool. Relaxing in the hot water after a long day of hiking was genuinely unmatched and felt like a reward we had all earned. The hotel was excellent throughout the trip - clean, comfortable, and set in a beautiful location that really added to the whole experience. The rooms were cosy, well maintained, and had everything needed to properly relax after a long day of hiking. After spending the day exploring and hiking coming back to a warm, comfortable room felt like luxury. The beds were comfortable, the facilities were great, and everything was kept to a really high standard. The breakfast each morning was also fantastic, with plenty of variety and exactly what you needed before a full day of hiking and exploring. Spending money throughout the trip was also really easy, as almost everywhere accepted card payments, which made things very convenient. Slovakia itself is absolutely beautiful -clean, well-maintained, and full of incredible scenery. I’d highly encourage anyone considering this tour to book it. You’ll come back with great memories, sore legs, far too many photos, and probably a new appreciation for hiking.

What an absolutely unforgettable experience! The MBA Slovakia hiking adventure was incredible from start to finish. Huge thanks to our amazing guides, Jan and Miro, who made the whole trip fun, safe, and unforgettable with their knowledge, energy, and enthusiasm. Hiking through the breathtaking Slovak Paradise National Park felt like stepping into another world — primeval forests, dramatic canyons, stunning gorges, waterfalls, ladders, and stepping platforms all combined into one epic adventure. Every day brought something new and exciting. Sharing the experience with 10 fun-loving, beautiful people made it even more special. The atmosphere throughout the trip was fantastic, full of laughter, adventure, and unforgettable memories. This is truly an adventure not to be missed. I loved every single moment and cannot recommend it highly enough. Highest praise to Jan and Miro for creating such an amazing experience!
