Reviews for Slovakia Tours and Vacations

We were pleasantly surprised to find Trafalgar had added additional dinners and side trips to the Christmas markets for the holidays. Quite a bonus! Our tour director was absolutely wonderful.

Benita P

As usual some hotel accommodations were suspect but other than that trip met expectations.

Gregory S

My 1st river cruise and 2nd tour with Gate1. Room larger than expected. Full bathroom and very comfortable beds. Excursions were good with 90 minute walking or bus tours and adequate free time to explore. The entertainment was more for older people and I'm 74. Meals in the ship were fantastic!
