About operator:
I am a local patriot, former traveller, history fan, tourism and hiking addict, wine and yoga enthusiast. Therefore I offer you all kinds of adventures in the Small Carpathian Region - the place I know, live & love. Whether you like history, hiking, wine, good coffee or want to taste local delicatessen- I have a tour for you. During the day, evening or night I can guide you in the forest, in the city, on the winery tour or even on the candlelight cemetery tour. Did you know that Small Carpathian Region is the biggest wine region in Slovakia? Why Modra is called "blue"? Have you ever heard of Huncokars- the forest people? Why is our cemetery considered to be third national cemetery? Have you ever heard of codifier of the Slovak language - Ľ. Štúr? It all happens in Modra only 25 km away from the Bratislava. Bus drive takes 1 hour but the train is only 20 minutes form the main train station, calling at Šenkvice where can I pick you up. My secret tip is the picturesque town of Sv. Jur!
