The organiser changes the picking up time to make sure we made the most of the day and the daylight; the day was filled with lots of beautiful spots and history glimpses. Unfortunately the day was rainy/foggy and we could not visit part of the itinerary but our tour guide, George, made sure to offer different options and we had a great day out, exploring Slovakia. Highly recommend!
