First of all, I am really happy I ran into this tourist agency in Bovec as I cannot imagine things to be better than they were. From my first contact with them (with Primož, the owner) I knew they had to be something special. I had such a great experience with them.
In August 2013 I did rafting and kayaking with Sport Mix and it was really an unforgettable experience, I enjoyed it so much. Everything was just perfect – the guides, the boss, girls at the counter and the drivers. Sport Mix Team are a great team of young warm people.
On rafting there were two guides with us – Gregor and Bari (a trainee guide). They made my rafting experience in the beautiful valley of Soča great. We had fun on water and also in the water – they made a toboggan with upside down turned raft on a rock so we were sliding down the raft. It felt so good to be a child again! Next, we could also jump from a 6m high rock into the water (which was sure deep enough). And most important – I felt really safe with those two guides. I completely trusted them. They had everything under control, they know the river very well, they are great guides. Professional, nice and I enjoyed spending time with them.
I also took kayaking school for one day. If you do kayaking for the first time, I would recommend going into school because you learn how to do kayaking step by step and when going down the water you know what you are doing. You don't just pray you will be alive after the adventure. Kayaking was a totally different experience than rafting but it was super great too - when doing kayaking more things depend on you. But there is no need to be afraid. If you flip, you can easily go out of the kayak and then the guide helps you to prepare kayak to go into the water again. The only thing about flipping is you have wet hair and when you come back to the agency everyone knows you haven't been just kayaking but swimming too;) But you really must try kayaking when you are in Bovec!
I would really like to stress that there is something more about Sport MIx Team. Apart from being so professional (giving you all the information you need and good service) and nice they also make you feel their friend. They make you feel important and not just a normal customer. They really take time just for you no matter how many people there are in the room. They are such nice and warm people – everyone of them – Primož, guides, girls at the counter and the drivers. And for me this is also an important part to leave with a great memory.
The place where the agency is situated is spaceous and it feels nice to walk into the room that is not so crowded. I liked it a lot.
The prices are really reasonable and they also offer discounts for students, families and groups. After rafting we were also offered our pictures from rafting – everyone was smiling in every picture. The happiness hormone was obviously releasing during the journey on the river.
And one more thing – their boss Primož. A great guy. Intelligent, responsable, couldn't be nicer, he really knows how to treat people. In my opinion this is very important. I was surprised when he shook hands and introduced himself, until now I haven't experienced that in any tourist agency. It was enough that I trusted him right away (it is like when you come to the doctor's – it is totally different if he shakes your hand and introduces himself or if he doesn't) and decided to do some adventures with the agency. And also when saying goodbye he thanked and shook hands. This tells a lot about him. I loved it. He has the right attitude to people. You are a tourist but not just a customer, you are like a friend for him. And he also gave me information and some advice to visit other places in and around Bovec. He always tries to help you. He understands that not everything is about money... I was impressed.
So if you want to feel some adrenaline running through your blood vessels and to be treated in the best way – believe me that Sport Mix Team is the right choice for you. You will defenitely leave Bovec with great memories because you have experienced something new and met wonderful people in the beautiful town of Slovenia. I highly recommend them!
Sport Mix helped me fill my batteries before last exams so thank you guys! And see you!
