Meto was an absolutely awesome tour guide! He had so much knowledge about Bulgaria which made the trip so much more fun and interesting! The entire trip was very well planned and no time was wasted. Meto listened very well to help assure the tour was tailored to the interest of the travelers once the trip was started. The value was off the chains! There was so much to see and to do and it was well worth the cost!
