Tomo Petek

"Tomo's deep knowledge and affection for Slovenia came through strongly; his outdoor knowledge and skills ensured that participants engaged safely in activities appropriate for their skill, fitness, and interest levels. His engaging personality and knowledge of history and politics strongly enhanced participants' experience, and allowed serious discussions of recent and current events when participants wished to initiate them."

"Tomo is a fabulous guide who has a great sense of humor, an easy going nature, professionalism, and a passion for peace. He easily connected with everyone in the group. We appreciated his sharing his Slovenian heritage and experiences with us. His yoga instruction was only outdone by his rendition of the Slovenia National Anthem. "

He helped transform a group of 6 strangers into 6 supportive friends. He created an atmosphere of caring and trust that enhanced the overall experience. He was not only a remarkable tour guide, but he also shared much of his own story during our travels and enhanced the trip because of his different perspective and unique cultural knowledge as a Slovenian. The laughter, shared stories, and the sense of adventure he brought to each day created a bond I won't soon forget. "
