Reference from Shelley Cook
Ondrej was an amazing guide! I hired him to translate for me on a family visit, and also as a guide to Devin Castle and wine tour. Ondrej was
one of the best guides I’ve had in my travels. He was always on time and has a wealth of information about Slovakia. His English is perfect as he has traveled and lived in the U.S. I would not hesitate to hire him for anything you want to do in Slovakia. He is very flexible and has great ideas for tours.
