We had a great time during this tour. Marin our guide was very nice, thoughtful and super knowledgeable. Nothing was rushed and we had the time to fully enjoy each site. I highly recommend the tour.

Fantastic day! Marin our tour guide was very lovely and informative. He answered all our questions and spoke very good English. He even took us for an extra stop to see the mountains and snow. Lunch was lovely in one of the local restaurants. Thoroughly recommend this trip.

The whole experience was excellent! Our guide messaged in advance with details of when to meet so we could get in touch with any issues. The whole tour was incredibly well organised and Georgi was very knowledgeable, answering both my questions about the sites we visited and about Bulgaria in general. Next time I’m in Bulgaria I wouldn’t hesitate to book another tour :)

We had an excellent day exploring different parts of Bulgaria on this fascinating tour. Georgi was brilliant, an engaging guide and so knowledgeable and enthusiastic, as he not only told us about the history of the sites we visited, but also how they fit into the socio-economic past of Bulgaria. Georgi ensured excellent communication from the day before to confirm plans and throughout was happy to answer any and all questions we had. He arrived in good time for pick up and dropped us off directly back at our hotel lobby. The small group size was brilliant too as it almost felt like a private tour! 100% recommend this tour, and would definitely do it again if we come back to Bulgaria!
