The trip was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G ! We started the tour at the morning being picked up by the guide , in the comfortable car and drove with him up to the Rila national park. Then we had a ski lift ascend and seen some amazing winter views of the park. The tour itself took us through the most spectacular views and panorams, with the great explanation from our awesome guide . The air is clean,the snow is soft and fluffy and the great company of people made our day. After the Rila national park we drove to the thermal pools, there were two options inside pools or outside ones,so we choose the outside pools,for the experience. The place had 2 different pools ( actually much more of that 4-5 pools there was maybe) but we tried the two one less hot and one is way warmer with the amazing view of the snowy mountain. Very interesting experience. A bit of advice - take some cash with you , because not every place have an internet connection to pay with a card and at the thermal pools the towel and the slippers are must have! We had such an amazing experience with the trip that we booked another trip through the same company:) wholeheartedly advising the winter tour to rila lakes , to the true experience of winter views and panorams:)

I fully recommend Azimut Tours. This was one of a number of great days with them. Our guide, Kiril, knew all the trails, gave us some options and tailored the day taking us on a route away from the main tourist trail with some extra little challenges we really enjoyed. To find peace and tranquillity with beautiful scenery in such a well visited spot was magical. Relaxing in the thermal waters was great end to the day

The tour was excellent! Kiril supported us very carefully before the start of the tour. We were worried about the weather and he quickly answered all our questions. The tour was led by his best friend - Georgi. He was a very good and educated person with great life experience. He was able to convey to us what the Bulgarians love Bulgaria so much for. He showed the real deep truthful history of this region. We were even able to feel part of this wonderful region for a while. The lakes were amazing and it's the worth thing to see at least once in your life. After a long climb, we were perfectly relaxed in the private hot tub. And we had the option to also visit and see a really cool resort with outdoor pools and tubs with amazing mountain views. Separeva Banya is a good city for recreation! I highly recommend visiting the Rila Lakes with Azimut tours. The guides are really helpful, responsible and it was interesting to discuss everything with them. We even booked another trip with them, because on this trip we felt like we were guided by our very good Bulgarian friend, whom we have known for many years :)

Unfortunately we couldn’t do the Lakes due to weather conditions. But Kiril had an alternative that is highly recommended and we enjoyed every bit of it. Also Kiril's knowledge about Bulgaria is very valuable. We definitely looking forward to come back and do the lakes!

I just want to say "thank you Azimut tours" again. I've visit peaceful area of Seven Rila lakes and spend some time in the hot bath of Sapareva banya for a day guided by Kiril. He brought me there like a best friend of him. Thank you and keep going!
