Thank you very much, Kiril! It was a wonderful walk in tandem. For the first time in my life I got such pleasure from the tour! Beautiful mountain landscapes, thermal springs and a good mood from the guide! We had a dialogue in beautiful English! Thank you!

The tour was perfect!! The guide Velko is absolutely caring, friendly, and funny. We had luck and the weather was beautiful and sunny. The road to the mountains is gorgeous. For paying the chairlift you need to have Bulgarian money. The journey to the top is very peaceful and relaxing. The hiking is tiring but it is not too hard to get to the top. The view is AMAZING!!!! We had lunch in a traditional restaurant, it is so cute and the food was very delicious. We went to the thermal bath and sauna, just a perfect combination after the cold in the mountains. I really recommend this tour, and the guide was very helpful. Alan and Fernanda From Brazil!
